Hi Ivy/Amin!
I’m trying to do a $10 off total amount of the cart, but running into some issues – this is the situation that happens.
1) I’ve created a coupon code for $10 off total items, with the conditional code that the total amount is more than $10.
2) I then add 3 items into the cart ($25.00 + $89.00 + $1.23 = $115.23).
3) Applied the coupon
4) Total amount now becomes $107.34, which is not $10 off; it has made $25.00 become $21.67, $89.00 become $85.67, and $1.23 become $0.00. The actual discount minused off is only $7.89.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
I’m on WP 3.2.1 and eStore v5.9.9.5.
October 1, 2011 at 11:40 pm #37189adminKeymasterThe total discount amount is applied to all the individual items in the cart because of security reasons. At the post payment verification stage, the plugin checks the value of each individual item against their corresponding prices in the database to detect fraudulent payment notification. This is why eStore distributes the discount amount across all the items in the cart so they can be individually checked in the post payment stage rather than just relying on the total amount which can be faked by experienced hackers.
In your situation I suggest using a percentage (%) based coupon code (example: 20% off)
February 24, 2012 at 1:39 am #37190momentum34MemberHello, I was wondering if there had been a fix to this, to give $10 off the total instead of each product? If not, I can use percentage which could equal a lot more than $10 which is why I am hoping there is a $10 off total fix.
Thanks in advance for the help:-)
February 24, 2012 at 8:18 am #37191adminKeymasterYeah you can do $10 off from total order without any issue. Its just that the total $10 discount amount will be divided between the number of products the user has in the cart (for example if there are 2 items in the cart then each item will receive a $5 discount so the total discount can be $10).

This is not an good solution for me. I really need to be able to do something like “$10 off your total order” without regards to how many items are in the cart, etc. Is there really no way to do this?
Also, I have the newest version of eStore installed fresh. Thank you.
September 29, 2012 at 12:45 am #37193adminKeymasterAre you using a normal coupon or a conditional coupon?
Remember, you can always use a % based discount to achieve something similar.
