Shopping cart ?

[MOMMYSCLUB]

I added the shopping cart to my site but how do i take care of the fact some customers might have a coupon for a discount?

Is there a button i can use or is there a way when they go to pay to enter the discount

i am using paypal

[MOMMYSCLUB]

well i called paypal about having a discount option when soemone goes to checkout and was informed this is not a feature they have

can anyone give any advice

Add a button that has 'Coupon Price', and make a notation that the order will be processed once the Coupon is electronically recieved

Don't accept coupons or discounts ;)

unfortanetly i already offered the coupon as a incentive

How about this. You have to give your coupon button a price, correct?
What if you can make the price a negative number (the amount of the discount) and instruct the customer to select both the product and the coupon button to get the deal. Would the net price work out on paypal's end?

You could also just refund the amount of the coupon.

thanks for the feedback i think i might take what webmonkey suggessted and tweak it a little. I am going to place a statement on my site that states if you have a coupon please send em the code and i will forward ordering /payment instructions

I think this will work

Sounds like a lot of extra (unnecessary) work to me.................... I know there is a way to set up a 'redemption' value for coupons and gift certificates. I can't remember right now, but I am certain there is one, because when you go to purchase something that option is available to enter in a code. I would contact paypal again and tell them there is a feature, but you just need help finding out how to integrate it.

thanks i did call paypal and was told it no longer is an option but if i want to contact a 3rd party provider i can get a customized cart

well it truly is not worth the money

i will just have the person send me the code and i will send an invoice

Well ain't that a daisy? If it's no longer available, then why the heck do they still have it there to use? Sometimes I wonder if PayPal has a left hand that doesn't even know there's a right? LOL

[MOMMYSCLUB]

i agree first the person i spoke with said yes they could help then said well you will have to use one of our providers so i said fine and she walked me thru the process and then said all you have to do now is pay the monthly membership (what????) i pay a fee don;t i everytime i use paypal

so i said no thank you and figured out another option

[JohnnyD]

That's just bogus. I guess they will just try to stick it to you any way they can these days.
