Shopping cart price rule

Question

I need to apply a 60% discount to a maximum of ONE item from Category A, or its 6 subcategories. The discount will also to apply to any number of items from Category B.

The customer can order any number of items from Category A, but the discount will only apply to ONE item from Category A (or any of its subcategories). How do I do this?

• You should now see a line that says "If an item is FOUND in the cart with ALL of these conditions true:"
• Click on the green plus sign right below and from the drop-down select "Category"
• You should now see a line that says "Category contains ..."
• Click on those 3 dots to bring up the category chooser and select your category (A and it's subcategories)
• Go over to the Actions Tab
• From the "Apply" drop-down select "Percent of product price discount"
• in the "Discount amount" field put in 60%
