I have a server side function that gets called from my shopping cart page if the user is a club member. It generates a custom 15% off code for them. Since about March 1st, it has stopped working and I get the message above when debugging it. Did something in the API change? Is there a permission change that i need to set to allow this? ---

There is currently an issue with createCoupon() and updateCoupon(). A ticket has been opened and the development team is working on the fix. ---

thank you. Do you know if there are plans to implement a way apply discounts to orders without having to have the user enter a coupon code. Even being able to apply a coupon to a store order in code would be better than having to get the user to enter a code to get a discount. ---
