applied appreciate automatically blank bonus buttons buy buyers cart code described detail determines discount display don entering expired expires explains help item limit message min notification number offer option orders page product purchase redirects sales sell setting settings showing sign sold sort special stock stop taking times total type

Hi

I want to offer a a special bonus to the first five people who purchase from me. So I understand that I can do limit the number of sales via the inventory option. However, I don't then want it to say out of stock (this is actually an egood,).

What I want to have happen is that it redirects/ a sign comes up that says "the first five have been sold, you now have the option to purchase without the special bonus".

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

We don't have a way to display the sort of notification you described, but you can set up a discount that's only good for the first 5 buyers. This help page explains our discount settings in detail:

The Max. Use Count setting determines how many times a discount can be used before it expires, so you would set up your discount with Max. Use Count = 5. That setting will not work with our Buy Now buttons, so you would need to be using E-junkie Cart buttons to sell your product with this type of discount.

You can set up the discount with a Discount Code that buyers would need to enter to claim the discount, and this would display a "discount expired" message to anyone entering the code after its Max. Use Count has been met.

You could just leave the Discount Code setting blank to have the discount automatically applied to the first 5 orders that meet whatever conditions you specify for the discount (Product and Min. Item Qty./Total); however, in this case once the Max. Use Count has been met, the discount would simply stop being applied without showing any message about this to buyers.

Okay thanks for that -- really appreciate you taking the time :)
