coupon for one product

how can i do to create a coupon that is valid for only one product without considering all the other in cart?
thanks

Hi, create a product specific coupon, select the coupon from the list, and set the discount type to specific. If left set to overall, the discount will be on every item in the cart.

Can this be flexed to work as a Gift Certificate?

i.e. The customer will get an automated voucher sent?

Hi Allan,

No, the automatic voucher engine is very different and cannot be easily changed to get the desired effect.

A coupon works fine if no specific products are selected. But the coupon does not work at all if only one product is selected. If I select a few products, the coupon works, but it discounts my entire product line (not the 3 or 4 products selected). Am I doing something wrong? I installed the basic version, not the Pro version, last week. (Joomla 1.5.15; VirtueMart 1.1.5). Thanks!

Hi, make sure you have discount type of specific selected. If the discount type is set to overall, then the whole cart will be discounted.

Boy, I feel stupid. Thanks for pointing out the obvious!
