Item-specific discounts can only alter the per-unit price of an item, so in that case a % discount option would be redundant, since you can just figure what that % of the price is and enter that amount as the discount -- e.g., 25% off an item priced at $10.00 per unit would amount to $2.50 off each unit, so you'd create an item-specific discount of $2.50.

If you're only selling one product and don't need to use tax or shipping calculation, you might just use a Buy Now button, which bypasses the cart and takes the buyer directly to instant checkout for that one item. You can check a box on the Buy Now button codes page to get a version of the code that will allow buyers to enter an item-specific discount code, but that could not use all types of discount settings -- see here for details:

So if currently I only have one item...i'm fine to do the entire cart, correct? I wonder why it's not allowed per item??
Thanks!

Being able to exclude items from having any discount applied to them would be a very powerful tool IMO, hopefully we'll see it in the future.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Micah http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 Thu, 9 Jun 2011 00:53:18 GMT
At present, you can create product-specific discounts that reduce the per-unit price of the item by a flat amount per unit, and you can make this dependent on a Min. Item Quantity threshold, but at present this can only work according line-item quantities of the same item in the cart, so different Variants of the same product would not count together to meet that required quantity -- e.g., a discount requiring Min. Item Qty. = 3 would work if the buyer has 3 of the same Variant for that item, but not if they had 3 different Variants of the item.

Perhaps when you create or edit an item along with all the other check boxes at the beginning (Taxes/VAT, Variables, Single download etc.) there could be a box for "Exclude from discounts"?

This would be SUPER helpful in my opinion. For instance I mainly sell watch straps, but I also sell a few tools, I would like to be able to create a situation where a customer can get a 15% discount for ordering 3 watch straps but that discount would only be applied to the straps in their shopping cart, not any tools etc. added to the cart.

Currently I can only create a percent discount for the entire cart. My goal is to discount multiple strap purchases only, but I can't do it because a customer could buy one expensive strap and then several cheap tools and they will cross the cart item limit and the price limit and get the discount applied to the cart even though they only ordered one strap.

Plus I don't mind discounting straps, but I never want to discount tools because I sell them more as a convenience to my customers so I keep the prices low on them, a discount applied to them essentially erases my slim profit margin on those items.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Micah http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 Wed, 6 Oct 2010 22:10:49 GMT E-junkie Discussions; jwilker http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 Wed, 6 Oct 2010 21:15:20 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 Wed, 6 Oct 2010 03:14:34 GMT E-junkie Discussions; jwilker http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 Wed, 6 Oct 2010 01:57:26 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 Tue, 5 Oct 2010 20:30:01 GMT
Anything change here? Can I exclude certain items from discounts?]]> E-junkie Discussions; jwilker http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3962/pg/0#post18470 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:30:22 GMT
You may be interested in this tutorial explaining how to turn a product with Variants into a series of separate buttons for each Variant combination:

I run a Christmas Business (online), and this is my first year with E-Junkie (I'm happy).

So this year I have used coupon codes for my mailing list (for past customers and people who have never purchased before).

So basically I have run a call business, and my site has over 400 buttons (different children, times and date)... a lot of typing. So what I was trying to do (and I think I ended up doing it the long way) was create a 20% off discount for all my products except for Christmas Eve. Well, I really couldn't find a way to do that in the Coupon Menu. So I ended up going product by product and creating the discount.

So my first question is... Is there a way when creating a discount to exclude certain items?

So while doing the "long way" of creating discounts... I found that if I wanted to offer 20% off on certain products I can't enter a percent... it has to be a dollar amount. Which tends to be a lot of math.

So my next question is... Am I missing something with each product discount for a percent?

I know that I don't have to create that many buttons, I can use the variants for days/ times/ number of children. I have tried that in the past (few years ago), but it seemed to confuse some of the customers. I have everyone ordering to Grandparents that barely check their email to people that are internet savvy. :-) So I have to make it easy for the "older" people! :-)

So I'm not really looking for a solution this year (as I only have 5 days left)... but more for next year so when I tweak my site... I know what direction I should be going in.

Thank you in advance for your help!
