Question for the experts out there: what total is the coupon applied to? Is it
to just the parts total, parts & shipping, or parts, shipping, and tax?

Common sense says it should only be applied to the parts, since as sellers that
is really all we control the price of, but I never like to assume.

Thanks!

Coupons apply to what’s termed within the Order Summary, as Order Total

Keep in mind…

“If you specified a coupon limit to specific item type then the order total
used to calculate the percentage off will be the total of all items in the order
which are the specified item type and not the order total of all items in the
order”

Thank you for your answer. That is what I was thinking, but as I mentioned I
never like to make an assumption.

You're welcome

Almost didn't pick-up on your italicized ass in assumption

For those that might've missed the English wordplay, it's drawn from
an adage that goes something like: To assume, can often make an ass (out
of)
u (and) me

Good rule to consider, nonetheless. Always advisable being careful of coming
to conclusions from assumptions.
