Make Coupon field "required" and compulsory?

Hi,
We are selling fireworks but we are not allowed to sell without a permit but some idiots keeps buying stuff on line without a permit and starts arguing for refunds. What we need to do is maybe make the coupon code field a compulsory field so that people need to enter a code supplied by us before they can go to payment page. No code - no payment - no hassle )

Or perhaps create a custom field on the address section (or anywhere before the payment stage realy) to act like some kind of password field where we can pre-define this value and this is checked by hikashop just like the coupon code.

Is this possible at all?

Thanks.

Hi,

This is a very specific use case.
The coupon solution can be a good idea, but actually we can't set the coupon required.
It will require custom code to edit that.

The password solution in a custom field seems to be a good idea too, but it will require too custom code.
I think that a plugin can do the job, base this plugin on the trigger "onBeforeOrderCreate()".

If the password is correct, so let do hikashop create the order, else set the var $do to false to not create the order.
Here is some documentation about plugins in HikaShop:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...#onBeforeOrderCreate

It require some PHP knowledges.
