Discount Code on Mail Chimp

[manusmenu]

Hi!



I am trying to set up a Buy Now Button directly in my Mail Chimp Newsletter with a Discount Code.

I would like to offer my Newsletter subscribers a discount on the purchase of my e-book. Ideally, I would like for them to be able to just click on the Buy Now Button directly from their email/my Newsletter.



I have tried copying the code provided by e-junkie, but when I test the email, the only thing that shows are the words "Discount Code"... no box to type the code into and no Buy Now Button image.



What am I doing wrong?



Thanks!

Our Buy Now button code with the Discount Code field works as an HTML form, and I don't think HTML forms can work in email newsletters. There's two ways you can work around this:



- You can use an Add to Cart button for the product, so we can show the Discount Code field in the shopping cart before the buyer proceeds to checkout;



- You can include the Discount Code in the Buy Now button URL you include in your newsletter, rather than expecting newsletter recipients to enter the code manually -- see this help page for further instructions with code examples:
