If we were to set this value to No other rules could take effect. For example, if we had a buy 2 get 1 free coupon for one of the items set up to take effect without a coupon it could then take effect after we discounted the first 2 by 10%.  

Now that we have the coupon information entered we can move and select which products the coupon is valid for.

In this case we are going to have the coupon valid on all products, so we will leave this section blank. If we wanted to specify this coupon to apply only to certain products, however, we could generate a set of conditions which the products must match in order to have the discount applied to them.  

Now we select Save Rule and our 10% coupon is set to go, ready to be mailed in your newsletter and begin generating sales.  

Now that we set up a simple rule based coupon, let’s look at how to create more complicated Rules using the Conditions. This works similarly to the conditions we can can create to specify to which products the coupon will apply.

The advanced Conditions provide a lot of flexibility, letting you look at values besides just selecting products. Let’s use the Advanced Conditions to set up a Buy 2 get 1 Free promotion.  

In this case we are trying to push a digital camera, a family deal if you will. So we set up the Coupon Information as we did last time. In this case we will leave the coupon code field blank, meaning the discount will take effect once the customer adds the products to their cart.

We want 2 conditions to be true, the product must be the Argus QC-2185 Quick Click 5MP Digital Camera and the quantity in the cart must be 3, so we set the conditions to take effect as shown above. We then move to create our first condition, that the product will be this camera. In this case we will use the SKU of the camera.

 

We then want to set up our quantity rule. We are going to set the rule up so that people buying 3 or more will get one free, so we select equals or greater than.

 

We now move to the Actions to complete the Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal.

 

We set the discount at a Fixed Amount and enter the discount amount, $34.90. We then set the maximum quantity discount is applied to to 3, leave free shipping and the further rules processing as they are. Because this is a one time fixed amount discount, it does not need to be restricted so that it applies only to certain products, so we will leave the bottom section blank. If we did need to restrict this rule, however, we would establish the conditions here much like those established in the Conditions tab. When we are finished, we will select Save Rule. Now just send out your marketing message telling customers that if they Buy Argus QC-2185 Quick Click 5MP Digital Cameras one of them will be free.
