Listed below are the restrictions and their most common uses;
- Include: Will include these category/department/items for the coupon.
- Exclude: Will NOT include these category/department/items for the coupon.

the invoice.
- Minimum Amount: The minimum dollar amount the invoice has to be to trigger the coupon.
- # Days Between Use: Days allowed between coupon use.

excluding, just check this and exclude what you don’t want.

special pricing has been enabled.
