Suggestion - coupon

[cassel]

I know that s2Member Pro offers the option to create and use coupons, however, i find that it requires a convoluted way to use them:
- you need a pro-form (ok that is not bad)
- the client needs a Paypal account OR you need Paypal Pro, both that are added "requirements"

I wonder if (and i am not a coder here!) by adding something to a paypal button code, it could trigger the appearance of a code field to enter the code and the value of the code entered would be subtracted from the total to pay when the customer is directed to the Paypal site.

I find that using the Paypal button is actually more convenient and flexible than using the pro-form because it can be used "as is" (no Paypal pro, no Paypal account even!).

Any idea if incorporating the coupon feature to a button is something feasible? I could even live with a box that would have the button AND a code field to put on the site (instead of the long pro-form).

(disclaimer: i am NOT a programmer! )

Thanks for the suggestion. We've been considering some improvements to the coupon codes and this is one of them. No date for it, though, as you can understand.

In the meantime, I've had an idea of how you could implement a simple coupon code system for a button, but it'd require custom coding in the page where the button is.

If you have any suggestion, you might offer it. In case i can understand it, i might do it. If not, i will ask the programmer to implement it and give me a template for it (he is great in helping me that way). I am sure others would like that workaround too.

I'm emailing you about it.

I have the need for a simple coupon code or a way to offer certain users a discount. If you could post your solution it would be appreciated. I have S2Member pro but I am not using pro forms nor Paypal Pro.

Sure Ryan, I'll email you in a moment.
