How to get coupon to work on one category in cart but not others?

Hi @zaknik ,

The Product Categories Exists In Cart, only checks the amount of quantity of said category in the customers cart, the discount of the coupon will apply as a whole.

If you’d like to only discount specific categories, please set the Usage Restrictions for product categories in the coupon: Screenshot by Lightshot (prnt.sc)

If I do that that then when people put just the categories in rule coupon wont apply. Coupon only apply when there is restriction category in cart. Why is that?

My coupons are base like if someone buy 2-4 products get 15%, 5-7 get 20% and so on and it applies on specific categories only but if I use restriction in wont apply if that category isnt in cart.

Hi @zaknik ,

The cart conditions for the Advanced Coupons Work as a way to check the cart or the prerequisites needed before it can be used.

It currently does not change what can be discounted or its discount rates, this is handled by the coupon data section: Screenshot by Lightshot (prnt.sc)

So, I’m afraid the only way to discount specific product categories is through my previous recommendations.

Though, what you could do is use non-qualifying coupon settings in the cart condition to let the customers know that they need to purchase x amount of x to use the coupon: Screenshot by Lightshot (prnt.sc)

This way the customer will know what to get in order to activate the coupon: Screenshot by Lightshot (prnt.sc)

Note that you can also add buttons to redirect the user to the product.
