How can I exclude items from category-based coupons?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: How to create a Coupon code to use on website with exclusions?

I am trying to create a coupon code for a weekend sale. I want it to be for the entire sale excluding some categories/items. In the "Applies to" area, If i click category- there are certain categories that have a few items i would like excluded so that won't work. If i choose specific items that would mean i would have to add each item from our inventory 1 by 1 to be included in the sale.

Just needing some guidance on how to have an online say excluding some items.

Hi @everwilde, 

Thanks for reaching out with your question!

Currently, the behaviour you're experiencing with Square Coupons is expected. When you select Applies to > Category, it applies the coupon to the entire category. If you choose Applies to > Specific items, you will need to manually select each item you want to include in the sale. You may want to consider re-categorising the items you need excluded at this time.

Sorry I couldn’t be of more help here. If you have any other questions, please reach out!
