Hello All,
I'm new to PayPal as a merchant. I'd like to offer sales/promotions/ to my customers online. However, PayPal has been unhelpful. They do not offer such an option through their buttons.
I'm wondering how others are doing this. It seems absurd to me that PayPal cannot offer a solution for this. Offering promos/sales is an important part of doing business.
I shop on other websites all the time where they offer for example "Free Shipping with Orders Over $55.)" or "buy one item and get second at half off" etc. or even more simply X% sale on items.
The best PayPal was able to offer me was a link to a list of third party providers if shopping carts. It is a very long list, and I checked out a few, but none of them say upfront if they can offer a shopping cart which with discount solutions.
I'd appreciate any help I can get. Mainly I'm wondering how others are providing this service???

It appears Paypal can not do this. Given the poor response by PayPal I am going to investigate whether there are other services that can provide this functionality.
