In order to present a discount for a specific product, you have to issue a product coupon. Its main feature is that it is valid only for predefined products.

In order to create a product coupon go to Administration > Shopping cart > Coupons and click the 'Add Product 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.

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 price of product indicates the minimum total cost of a product (in case the coupon is issued for several products); if left blank, no restrictions will be applied.
  • Note: Only the initial product price is taken into account (without product options); however, the discount itself will be applied to the total cost.

  • 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.

You can issue the coupon for all products as well as specify some of them (clear the 'Apply to all products' check box and select the products).

Click the 'Add New' button in order to save the coupon.
Click 'Cancel' to leave without saving click 'Cancel'.
