You can set the discount in the PayPal properties.

Sorry to hijack this thread Pablo - Where exactly do you set the discount? I cannot see this option.

You can add a discount and other additional PayPal options via "Extra Variables".

Thank you for this - So how would the customer use this? Would they automatically get 10% off or can they enter a code at the checkout to deduct the 10%?

In this case, the discount value will be subtracted from the total price.

Note that this is standard PayPal functionality, not specific to WWB.

More options:

In that case I will post in suggestions for a Discount code feature.

I am aware of this - PayPal does not need to deal with discounts - as WWB will and will send the final figure to PayPal to charge the customer. (This is how [RZ]'s worked).

Just want to quip in on this. I think it can (or could) be done with javascript. At onetime in a webpage (galaxy) site (far far away) the owner gave very helpful PayPal code (javascript) to do this. The site wasn't a coding or design help it was just something the owner done on the side. I did try using the web archive to find it but I get told the archive is not secure. I do have a reference to the PayPal community that shows an example using javascript can't say it is valid anymore as it is old.
Anyway here is the PayPal link.

Interesting BF - However this does not need to be connected to PayPal imho - It can be setup like what Pablo currently has with Extra Variables - It would look like this:

Using the PayPal shopping cart can be a game-changer when managing purchases and applying discounts easily. While planning my trip, I was surprised How I found great deals on German travel insurance for my trip by combining a promo code with PayPal's seamless checkout process. It was super convenient, and the added discount improved the whole experience. If you're looking for ways to save, check for deals or discounts that work directly with PayPal payments!
