Coupon-less Coupon codes?

I need to create a special discounted program for some users and would like to avoid Paypal pro (mainly because it means I have to wait to be approved, and I want this deal out now).

Any ideas on what would be the best way?

I thought about just creating more Paypal buttons, and place them on special landing pages, with lower prices, longer trials etc.

But in this case I won’t be able to tell discounted users from each other, right?

Also I’m not quite sure if making a new button for Level #1 would actually work separately or make all my Level #1 members pay the discounted price?

Hi Adam,

Please see below:

While you don’t need to upgrade to PayPal Pro to start using the s2Member PayPal Pro-Forms, it’s true that you cannot use the Pro Coupon Codes feature without PayPal Pro. If you wanted to create your own custom coupon system, you could utilize the dynamic shortcode attribute feature to dynamically configure a PayPal button depending on which coupon code the user submitted (again, that would be a custom solution created by you).

Also I’m not quite sure if making a new button for Level #1 would actually work separately or make all my Level #1 members pay the discounted price?

Buttons are independent from each other, so any previously created Level 1 buttons would remain at the price and configuration the button was generated with.

Thanks again Raam!

If I go for the one-more-button method, is there a way for me to distinguish between same-level members who are paying the lower price and the regular price?

Glad to help, Adam!

For that, you could assign a Custom Capability to the button (e.g., “discount”). When a user purchases with one of the discounted buttons, their account will have the Custom Capability called ‘discount’.
