How do I limit coupon to the FIRST payment only

Hey There,

I am trying to apply a coupon - e.g couponname|25%|12/20/2011

It is working but what it's doing is giving 25% off ONGOING.

What I really need is for it to provide 25% of the initial payment and then charge the full rate on ongoing.

How do I do that?

Thanks

Michelle :)

The initial payment would be the trial? Or am I mistaken?

Yes, it's called trial (free) or initial (paid).

Michelle, the coupons documentation mentions an attribute you can set so the discount is only applied to the trial amount. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Pro Coupon Codes -> ta-only

I hope this helps. :)

Hey Guys

Thanks so much for your help on this (sorry I didn't respond and say thank you earlier I have been swamped with another music project - 2500 original song entries for a song contest we're running here in Oz!).

I had actually tried the ta-only tag but it wasn't working. So then I went back and had another look after your comments and it turned out that I just needed to update the ta shortcode in the forms to reflect correctly.

However, when I updated it to the same amount as the RA, it says that your TA amount cannot be the same as your Regular Amount.

The way I have got around it for now is to make the amount 1 cent less, that way it takes the 25% off the regular amount for 1 year and then the full amount for every year beyond that.

The form code is then as follows:
[s2Member-Pro-PayPal-Form level="3" ccaps="" desc="Working Professional - $120AUD Inc. $10.90 GST (Annual recurring charge)" ps="undergroundtalent" lc="" cc="AUD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="www.underground-talent.com" ta="119.99" tp="1" tt="Y" ra="120.00" rp="1" rt="Y" rr="1" rrt="" rra="2" accept="paypal" accept_via_paypal="paypal" coupon="" accept_coupons="1" default_country_code="" captcha="0" success="/success/" /]

And the coupon short code is as follows:
catapult|25%|12/20/2011|ta-only

So if anyone is having this issue that's a possible solution. Hope this helps others :D
