Sending discount code

[weathergirl]

Hi,



I want to send a buyer a discount code for one of my products. I've followed the instructions on the site and created the code, but am confused about the discount fields ... does it have to be a percentage? Can I not send the buyer the option whereby she enters the code and gets to buy the product at a predetermined price (say 19.99)? If yes, where would I enter that?



Also, where does she enter the code? When I tried to test this, I clicked on the BUY NOW button I have on my site, it took me to an external page where I'm invited to click on a link to buy the book, and that takes me directly to the PayPal checkout page. I saw no field for a code.



Grateful for any help. Thanks!

This help page explains our discount settings:

Buy Now buttons bypass our cart and take the buyer directly to instant checkout for just one item at a time; they also can't use all the same sorts of discounts that would work with our standard Cart buttons; this page explains more about that:

Summarizing in a nutshell, general discounts for All Cart Items can take either a percentage or flat amount off the order subtotal (pre-tax/-shipping) or off shipping. Product-specific discounts can only modify the per-unit price of the item. Buy Now buttons can only work with product-specific discount codes that have no special conditions such as expiration, max. use count, or minimum order.
