The setup is in the catalog (Zen Cart). You can set up special pricing for each product.

You can also set a date range for any coupon you set up.

Fabulous, thank you!  Maybe I will gift it to my business partner. 

And thanks to all for your direction with the specials feature.  Glad to hear all of the positive comments on Zen-Cart in general as well.  It's nice to know we're working with a good product. 

Why would anyone want to use AppleCart when everyone here has trashed it, said it was outdated, a basically a "piece of junk"??

All the gurus here are touting OSCommerce or ZenCart. Why would you not go that route?

Simply put, what does AppleCart have that ZenCart or OSCommerce don't have, that you would want to buck the trend with all the gurus here?

Does AppleCart have a proven track record of success, in search engine rankings, in ease of use, in portability, and a list of current web sites that are selling stuff and have high search engines rankings?

Does AppleCart offer a total solution vs a "bits and piece" approach from other solutions?

Does AppleCart offer "support" from the designers vs an "open source" solution where you have "hit and miss" do-it-yourselfers?

If you can answer those questions, then you have your solution. (But only if you dare to think outside the box, challenge the status quo, and have the courage to withstand the "slings & arrows" that will come your way from some here at SuN.)

Remember, its not about what the folks here at SuN like - its about having a successful web site and ecommerce store.

The big problem with OSCommerce is that the main project was effectively dead. There haden't had a release since August of last year, and there was a huge wait for that release. It still lacks skinning support directly (supposed to be in MS3, but I'm not going to hold my breath).

If you go with it understand that you're taking it as is, and anything you get will have to be self-maintained, or maintaind by someone else. The big thing is that should they miraculously release a new version, it won't upgrade your stuff correctly. MS3 is realsing its beta versions, so plan to upgrade soon.

For me, this is business. I use things with support. Things that support my changes, and have guidlines for doing it... all the mods for OSCommerce that I've played with hack the source. I'm not touching that. Maybe 3 will be better...
