"Buy Now" discount codes

[kevinwaldo]

I'm sorry, I just can't figure this out.



Just starting up w e-junkie, and I think I added the code alright to my site www.freetvsecrets.com.



Don't need a full cart - it's just one ebook - so the "buy now" button seemed most appropriate.



Added the discount code "EARLY" so that people who buy now get a discount. Figured $10 off the $29.99 cover price.



It SORT OF looks like everything's working - discount box is there, and I can even see the promo code "EARLY" on the Paypal payment processing page.



But no discount.



Have tried varying the number, and following everything I can find in the e-junkie instructions.



Any ideas?

I submitted a request to the helpdesk, and they told me specifically what was wrong.



The default setting for expiration date is sometime in the future - I think 2012 or something.



If you leave it on the default, it won't work - you have to manually set it to zero.



I don't know why the default is what it is, but that's why my discount codes weren't working.



I know from some other folks' e-mailing me since I posted this that it's a common problem - no one would think to change the default.



In any case, all good for me now.
