Coupon Code Help

Coupon code for shopping cart

[Ellen C Braun]

Hi,

I'm hoping this is in the right topic, and that you can help me out!

I am going to be releasing an ebook very soon. It's a unique activity book for kids, to draw viral traffic to one of my sites.

I have a few questions about how to do this best.

I'd like to offer members of my list, and some of my partners' lists a code that lets them access the ebook for free. I'd like to set up a shopping cart with a coupon code. The page says the ebook costs $19, and an email promotion gives them code XYZA to enter, which will make the ebook free.

How do I do this?

My site is hosted with <snip>, if that helps you.

What is the simplest way to implement this idea?

Paypal will not support coupons outside of ebay. I've been told on various forums to get a code written at rentacoder or the like, but I am sure a simple program like this MUST exist on one of the open source, or even paid, shopping cart systems!

Please help!

Thanks!

You can try using mals-e.com, shopping cart.

Thanks, mals-e looked good 'till I saw the 50 (free account) or 500 (paid account) limit on downloading digital products!

Any other ideas for a shopping cart with a coupon code feature *OR* a third-party coupon-code program that can be purchased and integrated into any popular shopping cart system?

Thanks in advance:)
