Coupons - Ability to apply to collections
Shirin Sadr
Can only apply coupons to categories, or specific items. It would be useful to apply coupons to collections so that when you have a promotion (such as black friday), coupons can be applied to a selection of products from different categories, without only being able to apply it to a whole category of products.

I've just started to use Primary Categories like Neil says. It's a bit of a faff but works as a temporary fix.

Chris I've never had much luck with using primary categories for things (eg. creating groupings for ad feeds) as the categories move themselves around. I'll stay away from that as it sounds like a faff that shouldnt be needed and I use my categories for ad feeds already so I'd be compromising those (that work as they should at least). The option to apply coupons to collections would be the best solution!

Shirin Sadr Fair one. Hopefully they take a look at this soon as this time of year the limitations with promotions is more noticeable.

Chris Certainly is!

This will definitely get added in the future. It's something I'm really keen to see, oddly I was discussing this with a member of the team today and here is the workaround we currently suggest, it's not ideal but might provide a short term solution to the issue.
'Many customers will use Primary Category to create the coupon, and create a collection with the same group of product for the landing page.'

This could be really useful, even more targetted promotions and again hiding discounting from the search engines and reducing the race to the bottom. We need features like this to be able to work smarter.
