Creating coupons for products, product categories, and manufacturers is only possible in Deluxe and Premium Quick Shopping Cart® accounts. Economy accounts can create coupons to apply to the total order and to offer free shipping, only.
You can discount up to 250 different individual products. Or, you can specify up to 250 products you don't want to discount.
If you specify which products you don't want discounted, every other product in your store has the discount applied to it when someone uses the coupon.
TIP: If you select Limit number of products that will receive discount, the coupon applies to a limited number of applicable items. For example, enter 2 and only two applicable T-shirts are discounted, per order. Subsequent T-shirt purchases are full price.
TIP: If you want to discount the majority of your products, with the exception of just a few, select Excluded. Then specify the products that you don't want discounted. Keep in mind that any new products you add will be discounted.
You can discount Products in a category. You could, for example, discount all men's T-shirts. When discounting categories with a coupon, you can specify whether you want to discount any sub-categories as well.
TIP: If you select Limit number of products that will receive discount, the coupon applies to a limited number of applicable items. For example, enter 2 and only two T-shirts from the Men's T-Shirt category are discounted, per order. Subsequent T-shirt purchases are full price.
You can discount Products by a manufacturer, if you are classifying your products by manufacturer when adding them to Quick Shopping Cart. You might use a coupon like this if a manufacturer reduces their prices and you want to pass the savings on to your customers.

CAUTION: If you create a coupon that excludes certain manufacturers, be advised that any new manufacturers you create are eligible for the coupon.
