I have seen many extension on this matter. But I am looking for the clean, easy, close to core solution. Actually I am surprised that Magento/Ebay did not incorporate this simple win in a previous Magento release.
When a client goes directly to checkout (instead of via cart) - they are never confronted with a box to enter a coupon code. We have just launched a national ad - and the below article is true ... it is almost ridiculous how many emails we receive on this matter: "Hi, we would like to buy but cannot find where to enter the coupon code"

Question: What is the best and most simple manner to add/integrate the coupon box in the steps of checkout.
many thanks in advance
