Group Coupon

[kastnerd]

I hope to get my site running on able in February.

I am going to have about 6 user groups.
And a different price for each group on every product.
This is not a % discount, Its a different discount on each product. No problem pricing rules work fine.

My question is, Can i give a few select customers i Coupon code that would give them wholesale price, even tho there account is a customer account. The would be able to use the coupon as many times as they wish until the coupon hits its expiration date.

My bet is this will need a little custom code.
Any ideas?

You can create a product coupon valid for any product and assign it to a specific group. Do not specify the per customer usage and maximum usage and adjust the expiry date. If you don't want to assign the coupon to whole group just want to allow some different users at different times to use this coupon then you can create a new user group for example let say it CouponGroup and assign the coupon to that group. As users can belong to multiple groups so when you want to allow some customer the coupon you can assign him the coupon group from merchant side.

Im not sure if that works. Let me try and explain my idea better.

I have product A, its price for group 1 is $100, group 2 is $60 and group 3 is 40.
Product B for group 1 is $50 for group 2 is $45 and group 3 is $40

Id like it so a standard first time user, they make and account and get standard prices. But if they use some special code or link or something automatic. They get group 2 pricing, and it could be reused until that coupon is removed or expires.

The problem i see is coupons only have a % off or $ off. Im looking for this to work on all 100 products.

One idea, is to have 100 different coupons all with the same coupon code. Would that work?

Say the order 2 of item A and 1 of item B they should get the discount on everything using this coupon.

Volume discounts can also be bound to user groups and categories/products.
You'd have to write some custom code to allow specific (reproduceable, maybe a hash using the user group name) passed in query string values or form input to generate membership in a user group (something like viewtopic.php?f=42&t=8215). When you're done with the promotion, remove the user group, discount, or both.

I tried to make 2 coupons both with the same coupon code. It only seams to use the largest coupon possible at that time. No all the coupon's

You can not have two coupons with same coupon code.

What is like is not not have to assign the user to a group manually. I cant use coupons because its not a flat % or $ off across the board. I can use special pricing for a group. But i would like a way to give a customer a coupon that would give them a group price.

Is there a way to have 1 coupon, with all my items, and i enter the discount for each item manually?

Really what i want is a code that would be a one time use, or possibly unlimited use for 6 months.
But the prices i want to give them is like $10 off this product and $5 off this and $8 off that.

User group is the first thing that comes to mind, But i don't want to have to approve them. I could put the code in an Magazine advertisement, or give them the code over the phone.

So far none of the idea's work for me.

I do not want to add the user to a group. I want the user to be able to get the discount with out me pre approving it. They just enter a code and get the discount.

But it would be 5$ off some and $10 off others, But for Kits coupons do not work.

If a kit is $100 for standard customers, and add $20 for Black, But for dealer accounts the kit would be $80 and black would be $10. I can do this with User groups and pricing rules. But coupons don't get this correct.


So my goal would be enter a coupon code, you temporarily become a member of a user group. After you check out you are removed from the group.

If a customer has items in there basket and then become a member of a group do the prices correctly update?
