I have an ongoing 50% Off Catalog Pricing Rule currently active across my store. A few days back I have also distributed coupon codes on a Radio show with 25% Off. Now i have a situation where customers with these codes are applying the code and receiving a double discount. My $10 product is selling for $3.75 (50% + 25%).

I want a functionality where when the customer applies the coupon code, the code does apply but ONLY on the original price of $10. Thereby selling the product at $7.5. It should overlook the catalog rule. So the customer can choose to either go with the Catalog discount or Coupon discount but not both. Is this possible?

The problem you described is related to difference in logic of catalog price rule vs shopping cart price rule.

Catalog Price Rule - is defining a unit price of a product and affect product view/listing pages, it works the same way as special price functionality, but on a group of products. This functionality is taken to find a final price, that is calculated on as minimal value from such options: product price, special price, tier price, group price, catalog rule price.

Shopping Cart Price Rule - is affecting a final price that you have already in a shopping card, there is no relation, if it is a rule or a tier or a group product price.

In your situation there are only two options, that you can choose, in order to not sell products that cheap:

  • Remove catalog product price and make 50% shopping cart price rule for your sale products. In this case you should specify that shopping cart price rule processing should be stopped after applying 50% discount. Also sort order of it should be a high number. Also for your special coupon code discount, you need to do the same, but sort order should be lower then 50% rule, it can be applied first. In this case, if coupon is specified - only 25% rule is applied, otherwise 50% discount rule.

  • Add products that are under your catalog price rule as an exemtion from 25% discount. For this purpose you'll need to specify the same conditions as in your catalog price rule, but with a logical NOT combination.
