added appropriate button buttons buy cart code codes com common cover date default discount don early ebook expiration explains figured full instructions manually number page payment paypal posted price problem processing request seemed setting settings site sort specifically submitted won working www zero

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?

This FAQ page explains what Discount settings will (and won't) work with Buy Now buttons:

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.
