Clone for Another Coupon Code...

Clone for Another Coupon Code...
February 11, 2014 10:46AM
We are starting to really push our website and we are mailing out a lot of pieces (over 10,000 per week).
Every time we add a new coupon code (which is actually more than one due to case sensitive),
we have to "check" it off under all of our different products (we have a lot). Is there any way
you can add a clone feature for coupon codes or something to that effect so we can just edit
the name and appropriate discount and off we go? It would be really really helpful as we would like
to offer many different codes to various business types.

Thank you!

One note about case sensitive codes:

As written in the rules page, the check code can be a regular expression. The check is performed this way:
if (preg_match($uservalue, $checkvalue)) $addrule=1;

So, if you want to make it insensitive, a checkvalue like this would work:
/^mycode$/i

This would actually match inputs as:
mycode - myCode - MyCode - MYCoDE

Now, on your main topic.
It looks like you are talking about being able to clone the assignmentof external variable rules to products.
So, a command in the "external variables rules" page allowing to re-assign a rule to the very same entries as of another rule would work?

Alex, it sounds like the answer would be a definite "yes".
If you looked you will see we have codes like "SAVE", etc.
what I would in essence be doing is putting just this exact same
code in again but for instance calling it "10OFF". The "save" code
is applicable to every product I have (Which took a long time to add it
to everything), and I want the same settings with just a different code word.
This allows me to check responses on different mailings that I do.
I have a mailing I actually took to the post office last night (over 7,000 pieces),
and I use a different code which this feature would be a HUGE help in creating,
as of right now later today I would have the daunting task of adding another code
to all products (my designer said this takes like 30 minutes), I cant just rename one
I have as those are all already in use.

Thank you!

I need a little bit of time to chew on this.
But is surely doable. Stay tuned!
