Using Coupons: The
coupon feature of LetMeShop is designed to be as flexible as possible
without undue complexity. You may use as many coupons as you like at any
time. The coupon number is captured in the product detail record and is
shown on the order page.
Important Information: The coupon
feature replaces any "Quantity Discount" set for any products.
For instance, if you have the quantity discount of a product set to 20%
of when you purchase 2 or more, and a coupon that gives 10% off on any
order, the coupon discount will over-ride the quantity discount. If the
item is using a sale price, the coupon discount will be applied to the
sale price.
Overview - The site property ShowCoupons
must be set to "True" for the coupon service to show on the
site. You may add coupons to your site by product stock code for
discounts on individual products or as discounts on complete orders.
- Coupon Number: This must be a
code that uniquely identifies the coupon. The string can be up to
30 characters (numbers and letters - case sensitive) and must be
unique in the site.
- Short Description: This is
used internally only to help you identify each coupon.
- Percent Discount: Coupons
must be "percentage off". You cannot use "dollar
amount discounts" in a coupon. Percentage discounts must be
entered in the format .25 (for a 25% discount).
- Minimum Quantity: This must
be set to 1 (one) for any "percent off entire order"
coupons. For product specific coupons you can set this to any
number. The discount will only be applied if the customer orders
more than the "Minimum Quantity". For instance, if you
wish to offer a 25% discount for ordering more than two products,
the "Minimum Quantity" would be set to 2 (two).
- Product Stock Code: If you
enter a stock code in this field the coupon will apply only to
that, single product. If no stock code is entered the program
assumes that the coupon is a "percent off any order".
- Single Use: You may set your
coupon to be a single use coupon or multiple use coupon. Single
use coupons can only be used once by each customer. Multiple use
coupons may be use an unlimited number of times by each customer.
- Start Date / End Date: These
fields sets the date the coupon will become active and the date
the coupon will become inactive. If anyone attempts to use a
coupon before or after these dates the program will return a
"No active coupon found" message.
