Thread: Require registration for coupon use

Is there a way to require a customer to register before a coupon is used? The problem we are having is we have a coupon that should only be good one time for each customer, but if they don't register then they can use that coupon multliple times.

How are your customers currently avoiding registration? Are you allowing anonymous checkout? Or are they getting around using PayPal express (or similar)?

Your solution could be as easy as disabling anonymous checkout (http://manual.aspdotnetstorefront.co...-checkout.aspx) or may require customization.

Yes, we allow anonymous checkout. We are not willing to turn that off as it is a general best practice rule of thumb to allow anonymous checkout. Otherwise you risk losing a sale just because a customer did not want to register.

There are several ways to accomplish that with some customization. Here are just a few different ways I can think of off the top of my head:

A) Prompt customer to first register when trying to apply a coupon

B) Disable anonymous checkout option if a coupon has been applied

C) Check if coupon X has been use by a specific email (instead of a specific customer record)

D) Inform the customer (on the address book/registration page) that they will have to register to use their coupon. Otherwise, if they choose to skip registration the coupon will be removed.

Is that something you could help us with?

Absolutely - which of the potential routes I listed out are you interested in? Shoot me an email so we can begin discussing. Also, let me know what version of the cart you are running and if you have source code or not.
I look forward to hearing from you.
