Hi Al-Guevara,

 

Welcome to the community! 🙂

 

PayPal does not have a feature that automatically creates and manages coupon or discount codes for your shopping cart but our colleagues over at Magento do have this feature in their shopping cart software.

I'm sure there are many other 3rd party shopping carts that support coupon and discount code management as well.

 

If you would rather not use a 3rd party shopping cart, there are ways to specify discounts using PayPal buttons.  Your website would need to be programmed to manage the discount variables for your items.

You can find the list of our discount variables here:

HTML Variables for Individual Items

 

 

I hope this helps! 🙂
