Coupon enhancement request - product exclusion

It's really a pain to have to go back in and re-edit a
long set of coupons, one at a time, in order to add
new products. It would be much easier if one could
exclude products from coupons (from the product
page).

A half-way solution would be to enable the Power
Edit capability to coupons - it wouldn't be as good
as an exclude-this-product-from-coupons checkbox
on the product page, but it at least make adding
new products to coupons a bit easier.

PS. It would be nice to see Shopsite reply to some
of these threads with an indication that they're
working on solutions (or not).

My company is in need of this enhancement as well.

We have a number of coupons used by different customer groups that we need applied to all but a few of our products. Our product catalog is extensive and we add new products weekly, sometimes daily, so having to upload the entire product catalog and deselect 2 or 3 of them each time a new product is added is extremely time consuming and has proven difficult to maintain.

This enhancement will save us a lot of time and pain. Please consider this one.

Thanks,
sarah

I agree that this would be very helpful.

I also would like to see the ability to Exclude products from a Coupon.

Someone in this forum suggested a new field in the Product set up. Or even in the Coupon set up, if instead of Selecting products, there was an option to Exclude products (everything eligible except these).

For instance, we offer a store-wide %/$ off coupon...but have one brand that tells us we are not allowed to apply these discounts to their products. So on these coupons I must select all 4500 products in our store, just to exclude 50.

Thank you for considering this!

This functionality would be very, VERY helpful. I would also like to see this as a future enhancement.
