I would like to propose an option to make a public checkout coupon..

Basically a coupon that shows up to everyone upon checkout. This way if you want
to do a sale say 10% of orders of $100.00 or more you can just create a single
coupon which everyone can receive at checkout. This would be great for short
sales like weekends or holiday.. without having to alter pricing on stuff.

You could put a note on your store banner and then apply the discount as a credit
on the "My Orders Received" page. Just a thought.

True that is what a lot of people do. but I thought it might be easier to keep
track of if it were in coupon form.. Ie no Brain fade or forgetting to change
the subtitle and having your sale go longer than expected..

Or as in my case I would like to have a public coupon that offers a tiered discount.

Such as 5% off $50
10% off $100.00
15% off $250.00

you know something like that ..

By having the coupon the computer would already do it rather than having to do
it on every order manually..

Maybe this could be done by allowing a wildcard in the "For User" field - that
sounds pretty easy.

I wonder if that would work...

I kind of think we would need the Admins verification on that though.. It seems
like a pretty simple implementation to just have public checkbox in the coupon
creation process that just makes it available to all. But then I don't know how
complex the system actually is...
