Coupon Add to Cart with Product

[Chris]

Hi All,

I hope you can help me with a little theory I've had for a while. I
want to create a Mix-Match Sale where I give a discount when 1 product
from a set of 3 (Product A) is purchased in conjunction with one product
from another set of 3 (Product B). My way of doing this (I theorize) is
to create a coupon that will add to the shopping cart with Product A but
will only apply as a discount on one of the 3 "B" products. So, my
questions:

1) Will this work?

2) How do I set up the <ADD to CART> code to simultaneously add a coupon
and a product to the cart?

Thanks!

No, this will not currently work. Coupons and products cannot be added
to the cart simultaneously.

Although my situation is a little different, it is similar enough to run
this by you all and see if it may be of use to you (or if I am doing
something I shouldn't be!)

I kinda cheated and found a way to make a "coupon" as well as a product get
added to the cart at the same time.

I sell individual products and the user can also choose to order a group of
specific products at a discount.

First, I used one of the contributions from a previous post and created a
button which automatically adds all of the five products I have assigned to
group 1. Then I created a new product and assigned it a negative cost value
and entitled the product, "Group I discount - 33% Off!!" I then modified
my code so that a button click results in six "products" added to my
shopping basket simultaneously. It seems to be working fine on my test
site.

I need to test it more before I go live though.

I hope this is useful to some of you.
