Discounts Feature Expanded

The Discount Feature on our service has been in place for some time now as a simple flat fee discount based on the user entering a system-generated string of letters/numbers (discount code). We have expanded this functionality to include all of the following situations:

Discount Code Flat Fee - User enters the code provided by the seller and is given a flat fee discount off the price of the items in the cart. Example: $1.00 Off with Coupon Code.

Discount Code Percentage Off - User enters the code provided by the seller and is given a discount equal to the amount specified by the seller from the total amount of their cart. Example: 10% Off with Coupon Code.

Number of Items Flat Fee Discount - Based on the number of items in the customer's cart as specified by the seller gets the customer a fixed amount off. Example: Buy Two or More, Get $5.00 Off.

Number of Items Percentage Discount - Based on the number of items in the customer's cart as specified by the seller gets the customer a percentage amount off. Example: Buy Two or More, Get 15% Off.

Value of Items Flat Fee Discount - Based on the value (cost) of items in the customer's cart as specified by the seller gets the customer a fixed amount off. Example: Buy $10 Worth of Items, Get $5.00 Off.

Value of Items Flat Fee Discount - Based on the value (cost) of items in the customer's cart as specified by the seller gets the customer a percentage amount off. Example: Buy $10 Worth of Items, Get 15% Off.

That should cover most scenarios for people wanting to use discounts. The discount system can be accessed via the Selling tab once logged into the site. Let us know if you see any issues with the system and we will get right on them.

Thanks,
