I have a question I'm doing some promotional flyer's for my CD project and i would like to put a discount code on the flyer for people to receive $2 off my $8 CD thus making it $6 for the people who get the code from the flyer and use paypal...

Is there a way of doing that (USING A PAYPAL BUTTON) so as they fill out the form it gives them and options to put in my specified code and get the $2 off and them continue on using paypal???

I tried the calculation script thing it would have been great but I could not get it to work when I edited it down to just one item...

Thank you in advance,
MrMarkess

I have the same question/issue!! I have noticed that you have not recieved a reply and neither have I... hmmm does this mean there is no way to do a discount on BV pages with PayPayl???????
Very Frustrating!!!

I have searched all over PayPal as far as the FREE account goes, (Premier) and I can find no way to do discount. You probably can set up a discount situation in the "Paid account" (Pro).

judavvforum - thank for this insight, I appreciate it...
I am assuming 'pro' costs something extra, hmmmm
I will keep looking

Thank you again and if anyone else out there has ANY information it would be greatly appreciated!!

It is all in the mechanics. Make yourself a paypal button that reflects the discounted price as if it were a new product. Make your page that links only FROM the flyer (not your website navigation) and include the form. On the form confirmation page, include this dedicated paypal button.

NOTICE: I can't confirm that this will solve the problem, but you were asking for suggestions. :)

K.,
You should set up a "Premier PayPal Acct" As far as I can remember there are no extra charges and by going thru the PayPal site to make your buttons there are many additional options for the buttons. The PP buttons in BV are great but they are for "simple" purchases.
I would try judavvforums advice also.

Ooops, yep, getting tired...misunderstood...thought they wanted customers to opt-in to mailing list and get discount for it. Thanks, CarbonTerry, for keeping me straight. :)

I made my PayPal buttons at PaPal and have looked for the discount option. I don't think it exists. (I also have the Premier account AND there is no extra charge. You just have to let them "verify" your emails and bank account, But that's no big deal!)

Actuall, it sounds like Karen's idea will work for Mr. Markess. It sounds like he is wanting to do a test market. It's kind of like having a password protected page that you get the password from the flyer.

Paypal has a good discussion forum for questions. I accessed it and did a search for discount codes. Here is a link on how to do it according to paypal: http://www.pdncommunity.com/pdn/boar...id=59318#M3061

Hope this helps.
