In case you need to present a discount for a total order cost, you have to issue an order coupon. Its main feature is that it is valid for a whole order rather than for any specific products.

In order to create an order coupon go to Administration > Shopping cart > Coupons and click the 'Add Order Coupon' link. Note that you will be able to edit its settings from the same page later.

The first setting you should set up is whether the coupon is active or not. Then you have to fill out the following fields:

• Coupon Code is generated automatically; a customer will have to provide it when checking out.
• Coupon Title contains the name of the coupon; you may use it as its short definition.
• Discount Type specifies whether the discount will be in percents or in monetary units.
• Discount Amount specifies the discount value.
• Free Postage and Taxes Free allow exempting the order from postage fee and taxes.

After that you need to specify some coupon restrictions, namely:

• Expiration Date defines the latest date the coupon can be applied; by default the current date is used.
• Minimum purchase amount of order indicates the total cost an order should have; if left blank, no restrictions will be applied.
• Exclusive specifies if any other coupons can be used along with the given one.
• Number of times coupon can be used specifies how many times the coupon can be used; if left blank, no restrictions will be applied.
• Number of times coupon has been used is generated by the system and shows how many times the coupon has been applied.

Note: You can reactivate the coupon by setting the value to zero manually.
