Default trigger coupon via URL

[seansan]

Hi - can we enable trigger coupon via URL in Magento 2?

[magento-team]

Hello. This is very interesting feature. Would you be able to provide code and test for it - we should then be able to incorporate that into Magento code.

Did you Find the link in the request

Code included in a gist on github. In the post.

Hello. Yes - but it is written as an extension not part of the core system. Would you/someone be able to provide it as a pull request for Magento 2 code, preferably with tests?

In am sorry. I think think this supersedes my skills

Hello. Such functionality is already available just with a different URL
http://localhost.localdomain/checkout/cart/couponPost/?coupon_code=coupon&return_url=http://localhost.localdomain/simple-1.html

You can also remove a coupon with http://localhost.localdomain/checkout/cart/couponPost/?remove=1

I will close the issue. Please comment if you would like to add any more information.

I would advise to not close this issue. The devil is in the detail.

When you send a customer through external link with a coupon code (as above suggests) then this will never work. Because of the simple reason that th external customer hsa nothing in the shopping cart. Try it yourself.

What we need to do and what our link with coding suggest is that

1. if the cart is not empty follow use case as above (link from mage2-team)

2. if not, then save the coupon code and activate once the customer adds a product automatically

3. but do check if it would be a valid code, and if so show an update message confirming customer that the couon code has been received (and indirectly applied)

I hope you understand what I am getting at. It is a small difference in logic, but a huge difference in outcome

Thank you - please open the call again and add to timeline

seansan is right, it works only if you have products in your cart. If you need to refer a non customer from some other place with a discount, for example, it's useless. Coupon codes should stick until used or removed from cart by hand. That would make everything work

I found a very good extension that supports discount link and link click report also. It is working very well in almost all magento versions. You can find it here: http://codecanyon.net/item/discount-coupon-code-link-extension-for-magento/12744606?ref=themezaa
