Coupon added to final price not base price

Hello there,

I use vm 2.6.10 with joomla 2.5.x and awo coupon pro.

I have created a discount to a product category from inside virtuemart. Then i try to use a 2% coupon i created from your component and this discount is added to the final price not base price.

How is that possible? How can i make the discount to apply to the base price and not already discounted price?

Please answer me this as soon as possible because website is live!

Thank you in advance

Hello,

Not sure I understand.

Firstly AwoCoupon will only discount what is there.

So if for example a product normally costs $25 and within virtuemart you have discounted it to $10, if a customer uses a coupon that is worth $15, for that product only $10 would be discounted.

Now I think what you are trying to say is you want the whole $15 to be discounted?

What i say is this:

Assume we have a product with base price: $100. Inside virtuemart calculations & taxes rules you put a 30% discount to the category that this product is in to.

So, base price $100 and after default virtuemart calculation rules you have final price: $70.

Now, assume that you create a coupon for 10%. At the moment, if you use the coupon, the discount is occured on $70 (final price) not $100 that is the base price

Ok, I understand now. So potentially you want to be able to discount more than is available. The above example I posted is also relevant if you created an amount discount. Here is a solution, but it would work for all coupons you create within AwoCoupon, so use it at your own risk:

Hello,

In the free version, the file is in
www/administrator/components/com_awocoupon/helpers/vm_coupon.php

In that file, you should find these lines which you can alter:

alterate how?

no, it doesn't work.

if i've a product sold 11,90euro, than i use a discount of 15% so it is sold 10,12 euro 
but if i use a coupon of 20% (create with awo) i must have 9,52euro with 2,38 euro of discount but it is not! Because the system calculate 10,12 (discounted price) - 20% .... i hope i explained well.

Hello,

The above solution only gets the amount AwoCoupon should use for discount, in your case, this is 11.90 at 20% this is 2.38.  But it discounts this on the the cart.  So if the cart total is 10.12, then with discount it becomes 10.12-2.38 = 7.74.  The second part is alot more complicated, and you would need customization.  But for something like that, I would charge. 

Another option is to just exclude discounted products from being discounted by the coupon.  This is available in the pro version of AwoCoupon.

i do not understand. "But for something like that, I would charge"

It means it is customization that would take me time, so would charge money for it
