Does Coupon feature work

[Jim Cockerham]

Does the new coupon feature in Miva 9 Beta 3 work yet? I don't see a way to assign a value to the coupon.

Yes it's fully functional. I'll have Zeph post some steps today and I'd encourage you to join his webinar this Friday.

Great idea Rick, I will do that!
Sorry, but for the life of me, I can't find any info on signing up for that webinar. All I can find is a sign up for September 12th.

Actually it's on Thursday at 11 AM Pacific: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/426117494

Also, I suspect the issue you're having is this. We've separated out two concepts in Version 9. All discounts, sales, volume pricing, etc... gets configured mathematically via Price Groups.

So for example you'd great a Price Group called $10 off. Within that Price Group you'd set parameters. Which products qualify, any minimums, things like that.

Then you could choose to "trigger" that $10 off a couple different ways and one of those ways is a Coupon.

So if you start by clicking Coupons and are basically "stuck", that's why.

In the big picture it allows you to configure sales, discounts, etc... 1 time. And then use that same Price Group anytime you want, by creating a new coupon, or setting a time window, etc...

Thanks for the help Rick. Yeah, I think that's what confused me. Looking forward to the webinar tomorrow.
