account alt applied automatic button buyers cart code confirm discount ejc ejejc email free glitch help img issue items javascript offer order paypal product products reply resolve return selling send setting setup site src standard tested tyson url

I have a bit of an issue and wonder if anyone has an idea on how to resolve it. On our "main" site everything is fine. We offer free shipping on orders over $80, so we have a discount code for this. Now we will be selling a second set of products (we have 4 products - I set up new item codes so each item has two different codes) On the second site (it is directed to a different group of customers) we will need to charge shipping (not an issue - have that setup) but we can't do the free shipping for orders over $80. Is there a way to make the discount only apply to certain items? I don't see a way to do it with item discounts since they could not be applied to shipping. We might just be out of luck but want to confirm this before I give up.

Thanks

You would need to modify your Cart Discount on shipping to specify a Discount Code, then add &discount_code=YOURCODEHERE to the Add to Cart button URLs on the site where the discount should apply. E.g., if your standard Add to Cart button code normally looks like this:

<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=XXXXXX&cl=YYYYY&ejc=2" target="ej_ejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/></a>

...then with the discount code specified, it would look like this:

<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=XXXXXX&cl=YYYYY&ejc=2& discount_code=YOURCODEHERE" target="ej_ejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/></a>

Tyson - thanks for the reply. I have tested it out and there is a glitch. It pops up with a box saying that the order has to total $80. Don't want this popping up. I am kind in a bind as the secondary site is suppose to launch tomorrow and we can't afford to give them the free shipping discount. Help!

Hm, then you could simply leave the discount code off the button URL, and tell buyers they can enter the discount code manually in their cart to get free shipping on orders over $80.

As another alternative, you could simply have a completely separate E-junkie account for each site/product line. One account would have the automatic shipping discount on orders over $80, and the other one wouldn't. If they would both need to send payments into the same PayPal account, you would need to add a Secondary Email to your PayPal account and then use that for the new E-junkie account's PayPal Email setting.
