-Quantity discounts can be applied in two ways: specific to a product, or specific to a category (or categories). If a discount is added to the cart with a product, then the quantity discount will apply to that product //and that product only//. This is often desired for items that may be ordered in bulk, like screws or other hardware. If a discount is set at the category level, the discount will apply across all the products in the category equally, so category-based discounts work best when the category contains similarly priced items.+Quantity discounts can be applied in two ways: specific to a product, or specific to a category (or categories). To apply a quantity discount to a single product, the discount must be included as a parameter when the product is added to the cart. In this case, the quantity discount will apply to that product //and that product only//. This is often desired for items that may be ordered in bulk, like screws or other hardware. If a discount is set at the category level, the discount will apply across all the products in the category equally, so category-based discounts work best when the category contains similarly priced items. Note that category discounts are set on the category's FoxyCart settings page and are always applied to products in that category. If you would like your category discount to be applied only in certain cases (like when a customer is a member of a group that receives the discount), then you can create two categories, one with and one without the discount, and use the discounted category (or not) when adding products to your cart.
  
 It is important to note that the discount tiers only count against the portion of the cart that will actually receive a discount. So a category-wide quantity discount that has a quantity tier of 5 will not apply if there are only 3 products in the category, regardless the number of products in other categories. It is important to note that the discount tiers only count against the portion of the cart that will actually receive a discount.

-  : If the coupon has dates set, it can only be used on those dates. The end date is not inclusive, so coupon codes can be used on the start date, but not the end date. The dates are setup in the database as of midnight and are compared to "now" so if you're even one second past the end date at 00:00:00, it won't be valid for that day. For example, if you want a coupon to be valid on 11/27/2010 only, then you'll have to set the end date as 11/28/2010 because the 24 hours of valid coupon time will be from 11/27/2010 00:00:00 to 11/28/2010 00:00:00.+  : If the coupon has dates set, it can only be used within those date ranges. The start and end dates are inclusive, so coupon codes can be used on the start and end dates as well.

   : Similar to the category quantity discounts, but can be applied to multiple or all categories. So if a coupon code only applies to the T-Shirt category and there are no T-Shirts in the cart, no discount will be applied.   : Similar to the category quantity discounts, but can be applied to multiple or all categories.
