    On my shop now form I have created a coupon code that is suppose to give free shipping after $50 or more is ordered. I have followed the instructions but it will not apply also on some of the products I have a 1 already checked in the box and I can't get it to go away. Please help me resolve this issue

    Hi Darletris,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Here’s how to do it:

    1. Open your form in Form Builder, then click on the Payment field.
    2. Click the Green Payment Properties icon or the Shopping Cart icon, depending on how your form was set up.
    3. Go to the Coupons tab and click on Create Coupon.
    4. Set the coupon to apply to Shipping, then define the Minimum Subtotal Amount so the coupon applies only after the subtotal reaches $50.
    5. Save the coupon, then preview the form and test it again.

    The coupon code feature can apply discounts to shipping when the minimum subtotal is met. It can also be applied to product or subtotal depending on how the coupon is configured.

    For the 1 that is already checked in some products, the available information only confirms that shipping can be set in Product List through the Shipping tab, including Per Product Item and Per Transaction (Flat Rate). It also notes that Additional Item Cost applies to additional quantity selected for a product item.

    If you want, send a screenshot of the coupon settings and the product item where the 1 is checked, and I can help you narrow down which setting is causing it.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Hi Darletris,

    Let me help you with that:

    1. Check that the coupon is set to apply to Shipping, not Product or Subtotal.
    2. Confirm that the Minimum Subtotal Amount is set correctly, since shipping discounts only apply when that subtotal condition is met.
    3. Verify that the coupon is saved in the Coupons tab under the Payment field or Product List section, depending on how your form is set up.
    4. Test the form in preview after entering the coupon code, since the discount will not apply until the code is used on the form.
    5. Review the shipping setup in Product List if the coupon still does not apply, because shipping can be configured under the Shipping tab with Per Product Item or Per Transaction (Flat Rate).

    For the items showing a checked 1, the available information only confirms that Additional Item Cost applies to additional quantity selected for a product item. If that 1 is tied to quantity or an item option, a screenshot of that product setting would help narrow it down.

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to move forward with a solution.

    Reach out again if you need any other help.

    Hi Darletris,

    I checked your form and the coupon code you've set targets the shipping fee only, and it actually works as expected. Check this out:

    Can you provide more details about the issue? You mentioned earlier that, the coupon code isn't applying on some products, but when I checked your form, it only targets the shipping fee. If you want it on selected products, then you will have to create another coupon code, and make sure it is set to apply discount to products. I'm referring to this set up:
