A coupon applies to the would order. The category option is for you to only allow the user to user a coupon if a product of a certain category is in the cart, and not the apply the coupon to only the products in that category. If you want to do that, you would have to use discounts which are applied directly to the price of each prices and not to the whole order like coupons.

I setup the following categories: Product category: - cat A (child of product category) - cat B (child of product category) - cat C (child of product category) - sub cat C1 (child of cat C) - sub cat C2 (child of cat C) I then created "coupons" (not discounts) to take off a flat amount of X on a minimum order Y. Under "Category", I included "cat C" and set "Include sub categories" to "yes". The result I need is that coupons apply to all products of "cat C" and any of it's sub-categories, but do NOT apply to "cat A" or "cat B". When I add products from "cat A" or "cat B" to the cart, the coupons do not apply (this is correct). Then, I ALSO add products from "cat C" and it's sub-categories to the cart, and the coupons suddenly apply to ALL items in the cart (this is NOT correct), the coupons should only apply to "cat C" products and should never apply to "cat A" or "cat B" products. Please help!

The coupons in HikaShop apply to the whole order and not to individual products like discounts do. It's explained in the documentation: [ www.hikashop.com/fr/support/documentatio...p-discount-form.html](http://www.hikashop.com/fr/support/documentation/integrated-documentation/27-hikashop-discount-form.html) > Category : You can limit a discount or a coupon to one category. For coupons, it means that you need at least once a product of this category in your order for the coupon to be valid. For discounts, it means that the discount is applied to products prices in this category only.

Here is what I need to do (please refer to my ex above of cat A - C. I have a lot of products under cat A, B, and sub-cat C1 - C2. Products in cat A and B should never get a discount, even when they are in the cart with other products that do get a discount. All products in sub-cat C1 and C2 should get the following discounts: $150 off with a minimum order of $300 $250 off with a minimum order of $400 $360 off with a minimum order of $720, etc... How do I setup these discounts? I tried setting up a "Discount" and limiting it to cat C, including sub-categories but it did not appear to work.

There is no option to do what you want as you can set a minimum amount for a discount, only for a coupon. You would have to change the code of HikaShop for that...

No need to modify the HikaShop core for doing such thing. You can test it in our demo website: [ demo.hikashop.com/administrator/index.ph...scount&task=edit&cid](http://demo.hikashop.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=discount&task=edit&cid)[]=4 Advance coupon restrictions are in the commercial editions of HikaShop. Some in the Essential and more in the Business one. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
