Discount Codes / voucher codes / gift vouchers - are any of these possible at checkout???

[rfollett]

I am very confused as to what is possible - all I want to do is create a simple voucher code called say voucher10 and allow customer to apply this at checkout but i cannot see how to do this.. I found this documentation:

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Merchant/merchant/GCIntro-outside

which indicates it should be possible but none of the mentioned options are available on my profile ??

Hi rfollett

I too am looking for a similar solution. Any joy yet?

The link you provided is hwo to set up a Gift Voucher; these do not resolve my problem because it means someone has to pay for the Gift Voucher first and that defeats the outcome of the exercise.

Hello,

I still have no solution - sorry. Please let me know if you find one

Hi rfollett and EyeManSonny,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you both on this.

I believe that the link I've provided below may help with providing the option to apply a discount code or coupon at checkout:

https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/express-checkout/ht_ec-coupons-loyalty-p...

There are also some tutorials available here which may help, in particular Applying Discounts to a Buy Now Button and PayPal Coupon Codes for PayPal Payments Standard (PPS):

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/training/

If you have any further questions or difficulty at all, you can contact our colleagues at Merchant Technical Support on Twitter @PayPal_MTS.

Hope this helps 🙂

I have used 1 & 1 to produce a site. The site builder allows you to add the PayPal mini shop app but how do you get it to recognise a discount code?

I didn't understand any of what the link should (of course I'm not a coder).  Is there any way to just plain out create codes?  Or can you at least show an easier to understand graphic?

TIA

I would also like to enable a discount code on my website for customers. I followed the link provided but quickly found that the level of knowledge needed to implement the steps is WAY beyond me. Surely PayPal can make a little wizard which will create the code so I can send it to my developer?
