How can I use discount codes?

[guest_user]

I have a client who sells photographs off her website, she would like to have a "Christmas special" like a "buy 4 for the price of 2" kind of deal. Paypal does not allow this sort of calculation on their shopping cart system and they recommended I look for a 3rd party cart that works with paypal to do that kind of calculation.



Does your script allow "specials"?

E-junkie does support discount codes. You will be able to offer discounts like $5 off or 25% off if the total is $20 and you an also create special codes. Please see http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.discounts.php for details.

I am going to put a link to your site on each one of my product pages, below the puchase buttons. PanosFX is well known among Photoshop and Photoshop Elements users. In the next couple of days I am going to migrate the rest of my products to your servers.



Now, my question is, which you have kind of answered above but still want to check in my case, is there a way to set the shopping cart to automatically compute a particular discount if the customer buys a particular number of products?

Currently I am selling 7 individual products. In order to promote bundle shopping I have created 3 bundlepacks "a la carte". I would love to give the customer the option to pay a discounted price for a certain combination of products, no matter what these products are. For example the buyers can pay 10% less if they buy any 3 products, 14% for any 5 products, etc. This is particularly userful for my future plans, when I will be adding new products and the list of choices will extend.

Awesome! Thank you :)



It is possible in E-junkie to create discounts that get applied automatically without entering a discount code, but they are based on order amount not the number of items. So if you products are priced the same pretty much, then you are simply use that feature to achieve what you want. However, our "cart" discounts will only work with E-junkie cart.

I'm a web designer, and one of my clients is looking for an e-commerce solution where he can sell codes at his show, so that people can go to his website and download his album with them. That means that I need a large number of discount codes equal of 100% of the album price, that can only be used once. Is this something that can be done?

[shivani]

Yes, absolutely. You can create the discount codes for 100% discount or a discount code which gives flat discount which is equal the the price of the album.

But can I create individual codes that can't be used more than once?

[shivani]

Yes, you can limit the code usage to 1.
