eStore – automatic coupon on base item only

[beachgrrrl]

I have several products at 2 different pricepoints ($75 and $95). The products also have variations (e.g. product alone is $75, product plus installation is +$75)

I want to have a sale offering 40% off of the base product only (not the installation) – but when I do a coupon of 40% off it applies to the whole thing. And I can’t do a $ off coupon as the dollar amount is different for each pricepoint, and the coupon code criteria does not have and/or conditions. I tried creating 2 coupons with the same name with a discount of $38 for category 1 and a discount of $30 for category 2 but that does not work. I want the coupon to be automatically applied, not for the person to have to enter a coupon code (which is the only way I can figure out how to do it).

Any suggestions on how I can make this happen?

You can’t do it with the variation. You will need to break it into two separate eStore products. So you will have 1 eastore product which is the base one that costs $75. The other eStore product will be base + install which costs $95. Put both the products on your landing page so your customers can buy the one they want.

You can put these products in different category and then create condition coupon that only applies to one and not the other.

That wouldn’t work. The base price of $75 should still be discounted in the base + install scenario. i.e. product alone – $75 less 40% = $45. Product $75 less 40% = $45 + $75 installation = $120. Installation is only applicable if they are purchasing the product – and it is my understanding that the only way to do that is with a variation, you don’t have an “addon product” functionality.

If I had only one product price, I could do a $30 discount and then everyone would be happy. But because I have other products that are $95, their 40% discount would be $38 – and I can’t make that work in any automated way. I can’t expect the buyer to follow “if you are purchasing product 1, 2 or 3 enter coupon code SAVE30, if you are purchasing product 4, 5, or 6 enter coupon code SAVE38” It needs to be easy for them.

But thanks anyways for replying.
