I have been trying to modify shopcoupon.asp
I want a coupon to only be good if order totals a certain amount.
For example wholesale customers would enter a code and would get a 25% discount only if they ordered atleast $125.00 worth of products.
or a repeat customer might get a coupon good for $5.00 off on any order over $50.00.

I thought that I could use the couponother field to put in the required order amount to get discount. I added some code to compare total order to the amount in that field but can't make it work. I know vary little about programing.

Hi Bryce,

I think I have the solution for you. This code will validate against the couponother field in the coupons table to make sure that the order is amount is above the minimum level for a particular coupon. So, as you mentioned, they would have to order at least a certain amount (say 125.00) in order for the coupon to be valid. Any less than that and they would get an error indicating the minimum level required.

There are two changes you need to make and they should take you less than 5 minutes to make. Here they are:

In Shopcoupon.asp, around line 93 (at the end of the ValidateCoupon sub) insert this code:

*******
'Validate coupons for minimum order amount:
If isNumeric(couponother) Then
If cLng(getSess("OrderProductTotal")) < cLng(couponother) Then
msg= getlang("LangCouponNSF") & " " & FormatCurrency(couponother)
rc=4
exit sub
End If
End If
*******

Save that file and upload. Then, go to your shop admin panel and navigate to the Language configurations. Here you will want to add a record as follows:

*******
lang: English
keyword: langCouponNSF
caption: To redeem the coupon you entered your order must be for at least
*******

You may notice that the caption appears to be cut off at the end. Thats intentional. It's that way because it will display the minimum amount required (couponother) directly after that. Add that record and you're set.

This setup will ignore coupons that either A) have nothing in the couponother field, or B) have something other than a number in that field. That way you won't run into any wierd errors.

I tested this a few times and it worked. Let me know if you have any problems with it though. Hopefully it will do the trick for you.

All the best,

Jon,
does this code still work with vpasp 6.50? For some reason when I create a coupon to save $5 when you spend $25 or more from products in category "17" it subtracts $5 for every item. that isn't how i expected a coupon to work. I want it to total all the products the coupon applies to or all the products from the category it applies to and if the total is more than $25 then subtract $5.
any help would be great.
