Shop (PayPal) discount code
I realise it's time to move on to the new fully-fledged Paypal Shop - but my client is on a budget and is using the old Paypal shop, and wants to know if there is any way with this to apply a discount code to products?
I think I know what you might say...

Hi Alex
no because we're just using PayPal functionality - this is why we developed our own Shop as we were very limited as to what was possible with PayPal.

Thanks Rachel - it's what I thought, and I've already told my client it would be better to move onto the new shop. They only have around 40-50 products, so I'm thinking that setting up and installing the new shop might not take too long...
In terms of un-installing the PayPal shop would I need to remove any tables from the database?
Thanks, Alex
Yes, you should remove the existing shop tables from the database. Keep a backup, of course.
Thanks Drew - just going back to the PayPal Shop quickly - I know that buttons are created dynamically, but if I created a subscription button at PayPal's end, could this be added to the Perch site?
How does a subscription button differ?
I think it's set up so the payment comes out of the customers account again after a set period of time. It comes under an area in PayPal under merchant tools called recurring and subscription payments.
It looks like I may have convinced my client to switch to your new shop though - can you see how recurring payments could work with one of your apps?
Thanks, Alex
We don't have anything to offer recurring payments currently.
