as uCommerce is as much a framework as it is a finished product, you can add support for coupons yourself if you know a bit of programming.
I just did it for a customer running uCommerce, took me 4-5 hours (take into consideration that I'm fairly familiar with the framework).
What I did was add a product type called "Discount Codes" and added properties for offering either "Free Shipping" or "Percent Discount". You can ofcourse add more quite easily depending on your requirements.
Then I added my own function to the Basket pipeline process, that is able to handle this particular product type. Ie. detect discount codes in the shopping basket, and either calculate a negative product value for the code or set shipping charges to 0.
Coupons / Promotions management
Does uCommerce support product coupons/promotions?
Not today. Our Marketing Foundation will have features to support this in the future. I can't provide you with an ETA yet.
