Limit discount code to a specific number

[Richardpixel]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a single discount code that can only be used a specific number of times in total, i.e. 600?

No that is not possible.

Cheers Lee. That sucks!

This might be possible (but not simple!!)

It could potentially be done by having a csv file on your website with the coupon code and the number of times you want to use it. Then a modified add to cart script (ca000001.pl) would read from this file for the coupon rather than the discounts.fil file and subtract 1 everytime it was used. Once it got to zero, the code couldn't be used.

Note the word "potentially" - I haven't got a solution for this, but that's how it could be approached....

Hi Richard,

Thanks for coming back to me and that info. Good to know that it 'might' be possible.

I'll speak to the client and see if wants to put the effort in.

Cheers!
