Discount Percentage Is Deducted Twice From The Total

[Sunshine Hysteria]

Hi there,

 

We recently installed the DISCOUNT COUPONS feature on our website. We've got it set for a 20% discount.

 

The order total comes to $38.85. Twenty percent is $7.77, bringing the subtotal to $31.08.

 

The customer's invoice looks like this:

 

Sub-Total: $31.08 <----the discount has already been applied

Discount Coupon applied: -$7.77 <---Another 20% discount

Table Rate (freight): $8.95 <--- add in the freight

Total: $32.26 <----- now, if you do the math, you can see it's deducting the coupon twice! :'(

 

Here's what I found:

 

In the admin section of the website, in the ORDER TOTAL MODULE, we had the following set to false:

 

Display subtotal with applied discount?

true - the order subtotal will be displayed with the discount applied

false - the order subtotal will be displayed without the discount applied

 

But the *false* setting doesn't work that way! When set to false, the subtotal IS DISPLAYED WITH THE DISCOUNT APPLIED!!

 

By setting it to TRUE, the problem was fixed.

So the $38.85 invoice now looks like this:

 

Discount Coupon applied: -$7.77

Sub-Total: $31.08

Table Rate (freight): $8.95

Total: $40.03

 

 

Anyway, by the time I had this all typed-out, I had answered my own question, and thought I would share my findings.

 

Best,

Sunshine
