Cognito-forms – Limit discount code to once per person

Barbara, great to hear from you! I'm sorry to hear that you encountered a problem while importing a form. Cognito Forms generally handles the vast majority of form imports from FormsCentral without a hitch - but every once in a while we run into a particular form that might cause problems. If you could let me know what your organization name is, I can look through our logs to determine what specifically might be causing the problem that you are seeing.

You have two options for applying discounts to the entire order amount in Cognito Forms:

1. Add additional fees and specify a negative percentage for a fixed discount amount.

   

2. Calculate the order subtotal before the discount using a calculation, and apply the discount to this subtotal. In your case the subtotal calculation would be =AddYourMeals.Sum(Total), and the discount calculation would be:

   =if CouponCode = "ANT20" then -0.2 * AddYourMeals.Sum(Total) else 0.

While you can access the order subtotal using this calculation, =Order.OrderAmount, you cannot apply a discount based on this amount because the discounts reduce the order amount.
