Coupons discount type and free typing

[benhuson]

Just logging this here as I had a coupon request from a client that currently isn't possible.

"Can I setup a coupon that gives a percentage discount AND free shipping?"

Answer: Not currently

You can set free shipping as a site wide option, or as a discount type for a coupon.

But when setting up a coupon you cannot choose to do free shipping and a percentage discount as the Discount Type is a single option.

To resolve this I would suggest that Discount Type should give options for "Fixed Amount" and Percentage" and "Free Shipping" is a separate checkbox option so you can do a combination of both.
