Merchant 5 Coupons!

January 22, 2009 on 5:09 pm | In Design and Development, Module Releases/New Features |

We are pleased to announce a long awaited module, Coupons. The module offers many of the same features as the 4.x version of the module, Coupon Manager.

Coupons offers all the typical bells and whistles that you’d expect from a coupon module. One of the notable features is to have category and product specific coupons. If you want to offer a coupon to apply to only two categories (or, really, however many you want), you can have a coupon just for that.

One big jump in usability is a convenient javascript based date picker. Easily select start and expiration dates for your coupons! Here is a screenshot with it in action.

The module also supports offering free shipping and state, country and zip code restrictions. Customer specific coupons (i.e. the customer with login ‘john’ or ‘bob’) are now supported. As with the 4.x version, Price and Availability groups are likewise included.

Some of the other admin screenshots should give you a good idea of what can be done with the module:

A new feature I wrote specifically for this module is an option to bulk generate a coupon. If you want to create 50 unique 25% off coupons in your store, you can do that now!

The module also logs all coupons used so you can easily see what coupons have been used in your store.

As usual we are always looking to improve modules we write, so we are certainly willing to listen to any suggestions you may have!

The documentation isn’t completed yet, but it should also give you a good feeling of what the module can do.

Be on the lookout for numerous modules from us over the coming weeks and months! We’re cranking on quite a bit in the workshop at the moment.
