Otherwise, the coupon will apply to all the products as long as one product of that category is in the cart. Also, make sure that you're using the latest version. If that's the case, then it probably comes from a bug that we corrected recently and which will be in next release of HikaShop. In that case please request a patch via our contact form with the edition you're using and that should hopefully help.

I tried to reproduce your problem in my local website but it works correctly. I see that we have a patch made during august which fix something around the "coupon applied on product only". This patch in include in the latest downloadable package so, can you try to re-download HikaShop ? Maybe you have a 2.2.1 package from before this fix.

By applying the coupon to this hidden category you can target the products you want and not interfere with the rest of your store.

So:- COUPONS CATEGORY XX40 PPACKS XX40 PRODUCT-OPTIONS / FOR-PPACKS ^ So in this case at checkout entering XX40 applies the discount to products in the PPACKS category and to product options that are in the PRODUCT-OPTIONS/FOR-PPACKS category?

I am saying that in order to apply a coupon on several products, the best is to put these products in a same category and apply the coupon on this category. I am saying that a category which is not published, won't be displayed in the front-end. I am saying that a unpublished category is useful if you want to apply a discount on several products in the same time. It is not possible to create several coupons with the same code. And because you can't select several categories but just one. The "trick" is to have one special category which will regroup all targeted products. Because a product can have several categories, there is no specific problem. You just have to add the special "discount coupon category" to the products. Is it more clear ?
