Discounts
You can offer your customers discounts using our system if you are selling multiple products from your website and using the "Add to Cart" buttons for your products on your website. The "Add to Cart" buttons you place on your website work in conjunction with the PayLoadz Shopping Cart and this is where your customer will have the option to enter any discount code you have active.
