Restrictions section in conditions tab ^
1. Country selection. By selecting this option, you will see a list of countries that are active in the store. You can select countries that you don't want to be applied and you can click on Delete to enter a country into the "Unselected countries" list. The customer country is identified based on the address on its account.
2. Carrier selection. Like Country restrictions, by selecting this option, you will see a list of carriers that are active in the store. You can select carriers that you don't want to be applied and you can click on Delete to enter a carrier into the "Unselected carriers" list. By default all carriers are selected and they are available for this rule.
3. Customer group selection. Like the two previous ones, you can define Selected and Unselected customer groups. Selected groups are those which this cart rule will be applied to them.
There are three customer groups In PrestaShop by default:
- Visitor: All persons without a customer account or customers that are not logged in.
- Guest: All persons who placed an order through Guest Checkout.
- Customer: All persons who created an account on this site.
If you want you can add more groups using Customers > Groups menu.
4. Product selection. This option has several different modes, which we will review them below.
First you need to click on the "Product selection" button to make the main options appear.
In this section, we can add the discount code using the list below with custom rules that all of them are AND, it means all of these conditions must be in place at the same time to make the discount code be applied. For example we want to apply discount for products that have all of these specifications: manufacturer A and product B and product C and attribute D. Let's see how that should be done.
4.1. The first field means that the cart must contain at least X product(s) to use the discount. For example if you set it to 10 and there are less than 10 in a cart, it won't be applied and it will show a warning to customer.
4.2. The second one is adding a rule.
- Choose one from the list.
- Click on add.
- Click on "Choose" at the end of the row that was created. A popup window will be opened.
- Select your custom options and click on add. If you couldn't see the add button, you have to scroll down.
- Close this popup window after selecting options.
- Click on "Save and stay".
Tip
You can add several rules and use different options in each rule.
Actions tab settings ^
1. Percent. By selecting this option, a Value field and four options will be displayed.
First of all, you should type discount percentage in the "Value" field. If you leave this field empty, the selection won't be saved correctly. The important thing is that this percentage discount doesn't apply to the carrier fee.
Then you have to select an option in "Apply a discount to" section
- Order (without shipping). The discount applies to the whole order.
- Specific product. You can choose to which product the discount should apply. After selecting this option, a field will be displayed that you can type first three letters to choose it from list.
- Cheapest product. Discount will be applied to cheapest product in cart.
- Selected product(s). To use this option, you have to add some products in conditions first.
2. Amount. By selecting this option, a field for typing price (with or without tax) and currency and two other options will be displayed.
First of all, you must enter the discount in the "Amount" field. Select the currency and specify whether the discount applies to the product tax included/excluded price.
Then you have to select an option in "Apply a discount to" section.
- Order (without shipping). Discount will be applied to whole order.
- Specific product. By selecting this option, a field will be displayed that you can type first three letters in it to choose specific product.
Example of adding a specific coupon in PrestaShop.
Now you are familiar to all options of adding a new voucher. Let's create a specific coupon with the following options:
- In a specific period
- all orders
- for all customers
- from a specific category
- have a free-shipping
- without entering any code
- and just free-shipping for one carrier.
To do this, you have to follow this instruction:
- In "Information" tab, add custom "Name" (e.g. Valentine free shipping) and leave "Code" field empty.
- In "Conditions" tab, leave "Customer" field empty, choose a period and select special carrier and category from "Restrictions" section.
- In "Actions" tab, change "Free shipping" to yes and save the form.
That's it.
So if you want to create a coupon, first of all set conditions and restrictions and then set action. It's recommended to test the code before giving it to your customer to make sure that code is working correctly.
How to notify the customer to use coupon in PrestaShop
