That way, the coupon would work only i the £310 product is in the cart and that there is another £15 product as well in it (or any other more expensive product. That's the closest you can get with the options available by default in Hikashop.

If the "min order value" field would refer to the discounted portion of the order, then I wouldn't see the point of having that option since it would based itself on the price of the discounted products which is known.

Help!")* Hi Nicolas: I think HS must have some logic that says if the checkout includes a coupon associated with a product then the min order value must be greater than BOTH the coupon min order value AND the coupon-product price. Test case: - Product HICOST £300 - Product LOCOST £15 - Coupon TEST (min order value £200, associated with LOCOST) - Add HICOST, LOCOST and coupon TEST to checkout => min value warning I have to reduce coupon TEST min order value to <= £15 (i.e. the price of the associated LOCOST product) in order for the coupon to be accepted. This prevents what seems to be a very useful use case for coupons, namely to provide coupons for LOCOST items that can only be used when purchased in conjunction with HICOST items, i.e. buy something expensive, get something less expensive for free. This would seem to be enabled by removing the apparent constraint that the min order value must be >= the coupon-product price. Why is that constraint there? Min order value should just be min order value. It's got to be a bug when you are looking at a basket with £385 of goods in it and see an error message saying 'Notice The voucher code you entered cannot be used in an order under £300.00'. No?

Help!")* Digging deeper ... In administrator\components\com_hikashop\classes\discount.php: function check(&$coupon, &$total, $zones, &$products, $display_error = true) you check a coupon against the cart contents Towards the bottom of the function you assemble a list of products (in $coupon->products) that match the products or categories associated with the coupon (or all the products in the cart if there is no product or category restriction). This list is used to sum up the value of the order for comparison with $coupon->discount_minimum_order. IMO that's a bug. The min order value compared should be that of ALL the products in the cart, not just the products associated with a coupon category or product restriction. What is the rationale/benefit for the current behaviour?

For example: 10% discount for at least $100 purchased in the "computer" category, and 15% discount for at least $300 purchased in that same category. You can do that with two auto loaded coupons. Note that the behavior of coupons can be changed with the development of a small HikaShop plugin thanks to the "coupon" api: [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...entation.html#coupon](https://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#coupon) So if you prefer another behavior you can change it thanks to that. Alternatively, you might want to look at AWO Coupon, which integrates with HikaShop and offers more options to setup coupons for HikaShop: [ awodev.com/products](http://awodev.com/products) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI3LWNoZWNrb3V0Lzg4MDUxNy1taW4tcHJpY2UtZmFpbHMtaWYtcHJvZHVjdC1jYXRlZ29yeS1jb3Vwb24/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[tidosho](/forum/user/13071-tidosho "View tidosho's Profile")** - [![tidosho's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/13071-tidosho "View tidosho's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/13071-tidosho) Less More - Posts: 37 - Thank you received: 1 - - 10 years 11 months ago [\#221306](#221306) by [tidosho](/forum/user/13071-tidosho "View tidosho's Profile") Replied by *[tidosho](/forum/user/13071-tidosho "View tidosho's Profile")* on topic *[Min price fails if product/category coupon](/forum/27-checkout/880517-min-price-fails-if-product-category-coupon#221306 "-- url of the page with the problem -- : maxmon.co.uk/buy/products -- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.4.5 I'm trying to offer a coupon which applies to a low-cost item (20m audio cable - £15) when purchased with a more expensive item (£310).

Adding a plugin doesn't seem too hard, but I think I'll investigate simpler workarounds like custom fields first. I'm not sure I like the idea of adding a paid third tier (Joomla - HS - AWO) just for this.
