    Free giveaway using coupon

    I'm trying to see if there is a way to use the EmporiumPlus Coupon Redemption module to create a coupon that can be used to give away a free item. The store owner wants to be able to offer a free item to the first 15 customers that spend over $100. Hence the reason for wonting to try and use a coupon. The module can set the order minimum, it can be limited to 15 uses and the customer has to enter a code to indicate that would like to receive the item.

    I cannot figure out any sort of combination to be able to make it work. The store owner is EXTREMELY frustrated to say the least.

    That's specifically built into 9, not sure about Bill's mod though.

      I suspected that. I would need more detailed instructions on how to do it. But I seriously doubt the store owner is going to want to update this store to MM9 tonight. She updated one of her other stores before I had a chance to "warn" her and she's not too happy. Of course, I get this request less than 6 hours before she wants to do this too...

        I think that's already covered in the new reference guide but I'd have to double check.

        Take a look at www.miva.com/referenceguide

          Did I mention - the store owner doesn't want to customer to have to add the free product to the basket - just use the coupon to indicate they want the free product. The coupon code will have no value - it will just check to make sure the minimum order has been met, limit itself to 15 uses, 1 per customer along with having a start and end date.

            If I recall that's the exact feature I'm thinking about.

              Ok, now that I'm off my phone and back on my laptop, I checked and yes it's in 9 exactly as you're asking.

              Here's the high level steps:

              1. Create a Price Group
              2. Set Eligibility to Coupon
              3. Set Type to Add On Product
              4. Choose the right product code to "add-on"
              5. Set your Qualifying Subtotal to 100+

              Then go configure a coupon and you could either create 15 one time use coupons, or 1 coupon code that can be used 15 times.
              Thanks,

                Oh yeah and you can set a start and end date to either the Price Group or the Coupon.

                  Re: Free giveaway using coupon

                  So there is no way to do this without creating a product code? Does that product have to be added to the basket or will it be recognized as a giveaway and automatically added to the basket?

                    You can use an inactive product code, but yes it has to know what to add to the basket.

                    No the customer doesn't have to add anything to the Cart, simply putting the coupon in causes it to get added.

                      Perfect! I have let the store owner know - I'm not sure she's quite ready to push the update button on the site that needed this but who knows, this might convince her.

                      FYI - the instructions you provided are clear and concise - just the way I like them

                      Thanks!

                        We specifically added that feature because of Customer request. I think it came out of MivaCon San Diego roadmap questions.
