I'm trying to setup a coupon for scenario where if customer buy $20 or more, then they get item x free. the price of item x is $20 as well.
I see that ablecommerce lack of flexibility with coupons
which is very disappointing. I figured If I use Order coupon with minimum purchase of $20 and use product rule - "valid only with selected products", then choose item x, and then this would allow me to offer $20 discount on subtotal if item x is in cart and $20 or more is purchased.
So, my coupon setting is: Discount Amount: $20, Max Value: $20, Min Purchase: $20 and the product rule i explained above.
But its not working... well it works but coupon gets applied even if other items subtotal is less than $20.
I thought may be I need to make Min Purchase $40. But then even if I add $25 or $30 item in cart, the coupon won't work and gives error that "the coupon you have entered requires minimum purchase of $40" and subtotal is well of $40. Even if I change Min Purchase of $20.01, I get the same error.
Please advice where I'm wrong and what can i do to make it work.
