    For an event I am coordinating, we sell tickets as $60 for an individual or $100 for a couple. We also allow people to pre-purchase a number of other items with their ticket purchase.

    We are offering a set number of free entry tickets – good for just 1 person. I would like to set up the purchase page such that they can enter the coupon code so that a flat $60 is taken off their purchase price. But I want each coupon code to be for 1 use only (each free entry will have a different coupon code).

    How can I tell when a coupon code gets used?

    Hi,

    How can I tell when a coupon code gets used?

    Check under Cart Orders -> Cart Orders. It saves the discount code that is used in a transaction in the order interface. So if you edit an order from the cart orders menu, you will be able to see what coupon or discount code was used for that transaction.

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Thank you

    Ok, so a person must be logged into the wordpress admin panel in order to get that information. I was kind of hoping there was a way for the notification to get emailed to an address (the person doing the event registration does not have an account to the website directly).

    Go to Simple Cart -> Settings -> Email Settings. There you have the option to add the following parameter to the buyer and or the seller email.

    {coupon_code}

    Let me know if the above helps you.

    Regards
