Paypal Website Payments Standard Help

[suarve]

Hi,

I'm just in the final stages of setting up a simple paypal web standrd integration into an ecommerce site.

I want to offer a bulk discount to the whole cart. I've read the developer guide and can't finad anything, as that discusses more complicated examples. They mention how to apply discounts to specific items, but not the whole cart.

So say i had two items in a cart totally £100 and wanted to offer a fixed discount of say 10%, I'd want this to show in the paypal checkout page.

Any ideas what variable to use for this?

Many Thanks

Well if they dont specify a total discount for the total price. You could instead just apply your discount to every basket item. That would achieve the same as a total cart discount.

I'd be surprised if they didn't have a total discount option tho. say for a 1 off discount on the whole order.

Found it, there's a hidden variable you can send: discount_rate_cart .

woohoo!
