New to paypal, sort of. On the business side, we need to have people put in a coupon code for 5, 10, and 20% off our 1 product were selling, I have no clue how to do this. i think it has something to do with the "advanced variables" under Create a Paypal button. i could be wrong, can anyone help with this? thanks
Unfortunately there's no built in account profile features to do what you have in mind. In addition, you can't use the online button creator as it has limitations. Basically your code must be manually generated. The code can be scripted to use the PayPal "discount" variables or scripted without the variables. The logic for the coupon/discount is done your web page or site first, then the end results are uploaded to PayPal.
See this example for using the "discount" variables:
If you're not in doing your coding, then your options are to find a 3rd party shopping cart or service that has the features you need. For example, check out this cart, very easy to use:
