thanks, I am now able to see the link price changes. Maybe I can also have them enter a code which would have some info about their license.

Regarding the price issue:

Be sure you don't have a regular priced product in your shopping cart already, if you have it in there at regular price clicking through the link to add that item again with the additional amount will have no affect.

Likewise, if you have it added at $5000.00 but click through with a lower amount parameter it won't change anything and the price will stay as it was previously. Be sure that you click the "remove" box and update your cart to empty it between tests of each link.

We sent you an email regarding the PDF stamping issue recommending that you double check what was entered in your Payment Variable Information URL setting, is the problem persisting?

Regarding the PDF stamp option:

I went through the details outlined in the guide and placed the adjusted code into the site (removed password protection). A few hours later I made a test purchase and noticed the PDF wasn't stamped - any ideas?

When I changed the number in this link:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=905833&cl=160545&ejc=2& amount=4960.05

to this:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=905833&cl=160545&ejc=2& amount=2960.05

- the price is still listed $5000. Am I missing something here??

You would just take your existing button code for the item, which looks like this:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=905833&cl=160545&ejc=2" target="ej_ejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);"> http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/>

...then take the href= URL from that code:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=905833&cl=160545&ejc=2

...and add the &amount= parameter at the end to mark-up that items' price when this link is used:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=905833&cl=160545&ejc=2&amount=4960.05

Pardon the long line-wrapping here in the forum -- that URL should be just one long line, no spaces. You can even put that URL through a link shortener like Bit.ly, TinyURL.com, etc. to send the buyer a shorter URL that redirects to that purchase link.

sorry but where, specifically, do I go to create the new link?

To create that link, I simply added &amount=4960.05 to the end of your Add to Cart button's href= URL -- whatever amount you specify there would be added to the base price of that item.

We don't have any built-in way of requiring an agreement to license terms before purchase, but see this forum discussion for some ideas on how to approach that:

This help page explains our PDF Stamping feature:

Hmmm how did you create that link? That's exactly what I need! - Although, I would like to customize it with info regarding the licensing agreement and school name, etc.

Also, I had no idea about the PDF stamping feature - how does one find and utilize it?

You could send them this link to order the ebook at a $4960.05 markup above your product's base price:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=905833&cl=160545&ejc=2&amount=4960.05

Then they would use their download link to obtain a copy of your ebook, which they would redistribute to their students on their own, independently of our system. If you're using our PDF Stamping feature, their copy (and all copies they redistribute) would be stamped with the name and email address they provided during checkout.

You could also arrange for payment on your own independently of our system, then when you have received their payment, just use your Seller Admin > "Send free download link" to send them a link to obtain their first copy, which they would then redistribute; however, that would not engage the PDF Stamper.

To issue them a "free" (after independent payment) download that is also Stamped with the university's name and email, you'd create a secret discount code good for 100% off the item total, then use that code yourself to place a cart order for 0.00 using our Free Checkout, then during that checkout you could provide whatever name and email you wish identifying the university, which would be Stamped on their copy of your PDF. The link to the download page would be sent to whatever email address you provide at checkout. You may also want to at least temporarily enable "Receive a copy of email sent to buyer" in the product's settings, so you could forward your copy to another party at the university, if their own email is different from the one you provided at checkout to be Stamped on the file.

Hello, I was contacted by a university in London who wants to buy one copy of my eBook for for internal viewing by their entire student body. I'm trying to figure out the best way to sell them one copy for 5k +

How would one go about doing this? I would love to sell them one copy for $5000+ but unsure of the limitations and setup procedure for such a thing

Thanks!
Ben
