Hi,
I have been reading the manul and the forums and I see many posts about applying discounts and how to do it. But no answer specificly about the problem I'm having.
I have a new install and I'm still in the testing phase before we go live. To check that credit cards are being processed currently I created a Catagory and Product with a price of $3.00.
Everything works up until the checkout page. The item is listed and priced correctly. However I get a line item that says "LESS: $10.00 Off All Orders Sale".
Working in reverse, I thought I may have set this up accidently. But, the catagory and product are both set to Inactive. I went Orders & Payments/Manage Discount Codes and nothing is listed there.
Considering the example store that comes with the install, I figured there is a setting somewhere that I need to change or turn off. But I cant find it. Can anyone help with this?
Second Question:
After reading the posts on the forum about how to setup Coupons, my understanding is that if I set up a Coupon, I still have to go through every catagory and product to turn on the Coupon?? That cant be right, when I'm finished adding all the products I will 2183. I cant go in everytime I create coupon and change every product! I must be reading, or understanding, this completely wrong.
Thanks for you help

Q.1 : Go to your admin section, main menu, global settings and disable the : Custom checkout option.
Q.2 : You have a good point there. Even I can't believe it sometimes but it is still a great software. If you want to apply discounts more quickly to your products, go to : /data/tables/discount.csv file and change to : (especially if you have 2183 products. It is the best thing to do).

Thanks! That worked well
If the developers are reading the board there is a bug in the addition/subtraction.
Before I turned off the custom settings, the discount was giving me a negative number.
3.00 - 10.00 = -7.00
Thanks for the help and the work around

Discount codes work independent of category discounts and sale items. They're checkout based. There's no need to update anything but the discount code to make it active.
