Request: Limit Uses Per Customer & Apply to Cart on Discounts Page.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been running into some really weird behavior with discount codes on Jinxxy and wanted to suggest a couple of features.

Right now, fixed-value discounts ($5 off for example) and 100% off codes seem pretty exploitable.

Here’s what I think is happening:

• If a $5 code is multi-use, people can seemingly open multiple tabs and apply it to different products at the same time. That makes storewide “$5 weekend vouchers” risky, because anything under $5 can basically get grabbed for free.

• Even with single-use codes, I think users are racing checkout across multiple tabs before the system updates the usage count. I’ve had a 1/1 code somehow end up at 26/1 uses in analytics.

• The biggest issue is 100% off giveaway codes. If they aren’t locked to a specific product, it looks like they can potentially be applied to get the entire store for free.

A couple features that would help a lot:

• Limit uses per customer
  Allow restricting a code to one use per account/email (or a configurable amount).

• Apply fixed discounts to cart total instead of every product
  Right now a $5 code appears to apply per-item instead of once to the entire cart. Having both behaviors as selectable options would be huge.

That’s pretty much it. I feel like these changes would prevent a lot of abuse while making promos and giveaways way safer to run.
