Coupon code for free product with purchase over $99

Question

I want to create a coupon code to have a specific product added to the cart at no cost when the order total is over $99 and the code has been entered.

I am not having any luck figuring out how to make this happen. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Amasty's Special Promotions Pro has worked for me in the past.

(Using Magento 1.9.x) One way to try and achieve this without extra extensions would be to use a Shopping Cart Price Rule as such:

RULE INFORMATION:

• Rule Name should be the Value of "Free" Product (see below)
• Coupon is set to No Coupon - this will let it auto activate when conditions are met
• Priority is set to 0 - this will ensure it overrides any other discounts with lower priority

CONDITIONS:

• Set to All are True
• Subtotal - is - Equals or Greater Than 99.00

ACTIONS:

• Apply Fixed Discount Amount
• Discount Amount XX.XX (value of product eligible for free purchase)
• In Apply the rule only to cart items matching the following conditions you should set: All are True & SKU - is one of - ENTER SKUs that match value of discount

You would need to create this for every different value associated to the products you have for sale. It's tedious and would need to be constantly updated when new product comes available.

I looked into the C4B_FreeProduct extension a bit and saw that others had had the same issue I did and that in time it corrected itself. I ran a few random file uploads, cleared the cache and re-indexed a few times and now it works great. Thank you Steven foryour workaround. I will give it a try if this causes any problems.
