Is it possible/how would you define a maximum discount amount for free
shipping; my customer says free shipping is fine but only if the
shipping cost is under $100

Is it possible/how would you create a coupon that is public and can
only be used once per customer?

Hi mkw,

For your first question, I think this can simply be done by creating an
order-level discount for $100 off shipping, thus free for any shipping
amount up to $100. The FP1 DiscountManager UI does support this.

For your second question, Does your coupon have to be public? Private and
restricted coupons are designed to be used by multiple customers and can be
limited. With some custom code, you can make a one time use public coupon
as David Messner described some time ago:

You cannot achieve this out of the box with a public promotion code. But
with a little custom code you could extend the user profile with a flag
that indicates whether the customer already used the promotion and then use
a discount eligibility requirement expression that requires the flag to be
false in order for the discount to apply. You could also use a multivalued
list of promotions used by the customer if you wanted to support this
scenario for more than one promotion. Of course you need some custom code
to set the flag in the profile when the user checks out with the promotion,
etc.


Thanks,
David Lott
