Coupons

Everybody loves coupons, especially on the Internet. I can't tell you how many times I go to check out on an Internet shopping site and I see a little box that says, "Enter Coupon Code" and I immediately ask the Google and it politely responds with a relavent Coupon Code thus saving me some $. I've looked into how to add coupon(s) code(s) to my own site and Paypal (my payment Pimp), has been promising coupon code like functionality for payment processing at least 3+ years, but has yet to deliver. So...it leaves people such as myself, the option of either going out and using a 3rd party shopping cart application which does support coupons, or rolling my own. I opted for the latter. So...if and when I ever finish the 115 boards currently in the work queue, select boards will have a little Coupon Code box next to the "Add Item to Cart" button. I will offer the coupon code as some type of certificate towards future purchases for anyone buying a board, once I start completing the current set of boards and offering them for sale. And for those of you who happen to be reading this, I will reveal one of the 3 coupon codes now. You can probably guess the other 2! :-> The code is "envmero-10" which will give 10% off the price of selected boards (i.e. those boards with a coupon code box next to the "Add to Cart" button). The other 2 coupon codes will be for 20% off and 30% off. *** REMEMBER - you have to enter the coupon code, click the "APPLY COUPON" Button AND then add the item to the cart. When you go to checkout via Paypal, the discount should be reflected in the checkout price (or view cart). The coupon will only apply to select boards.
