Webstore Discount & Coupon Codes
I would like to sugguest the idea of adding discount or coupon code options to the Web store. I think that this would help us to serve our customers even better!

Sorry for not providing an update! Coupons were added late last year and can be managed under Settings in the Webstore app.
-
The webstore is getting updated in the coming months, and one of the first new features to be added is the much-requested coupon code feature.
As we get closer to making this feature available, I'll have more details on how it will function and when it will be ready.
Thanks everyone for hanging in there while we're in the home stretch for this new addition.

Webs seem to have no interest in this facility and do not listen to their customers - how short sighted
-
I have found an interim solution - it has a monthly fee depending on what you want to do, but is worth it. check out www.ecwid.com - they have a shopping cart that you can plug into your store.. everything, coupons, inventory, orders is managed through their interface.. Much superior to anything I have used or looked at while deciding what to do..
webs - how about partnering with them/?? -
@Dom why have you stated "if" when this thread has been tagged as under construction? I need to know now whether this feature will be available for my site; other wise I will have to cancel my services.
-
Please please read these posts and respond with this new function, so many of us who pay good money to use Webs need to offer discounts to customers.
Cheers -
I think we're all on the same boat here...i wanted to give discounts to Facebook fans on my webs site so i can slowly come out of Etsy, but without the ability to use coupon codes im stuck :( i think that would be a great way to get more business. I'm also a Premium member and something should be done about this.
-
Yes....I am a Premium pro member.....I think something needs to be sorted out regarding discount.promo codes..... I paid an awful lot for my site, I think when something is requested (and there are loads of requests for this) someone needs to action this!
-
Hey, I am a Premium member with a webstore. I need the coupon/discount apps pronto. I have waited long enough.
-
I would like to add coupon codes to my webstore also. I offered for customers to get 10% off their purchase when they friend us on Facebook but I have no way of giving them 10% off if they check out with paypal or google checkout.
-
I've just spend 15 minutes reading through dozens of requests for discount and coupon codes in the form of Ideas (as Webs.com suggested) and Questions and Problems.
Webs.com you need to pick up the pace here and respond directly to this feature request. Is it in development? Will it only be considered for development when enough Premium Account users "like" this idea. What more do you need from us, your paying customers, to address this issue? We all have businesses to run that are loosing out because we are unable to run webstores that offer discounts/promotional codes/coupons.
If anyone out there finds a solution to this problem before Webs.com, please pass it on!

I'm glad that other people are searching for an answer for applying discounts and coupon codes too! I hope that we can get a solution soon! I paid for a Premium Account to get more shop items for my store and now am also frustrated because I can't reward my customers with this extra feature! Please help!

I was considering shifting my shop to Bigcartel where you can offer customers a % discount. While reading through their FAQ I learned that their users have issues with not being able to offer dollar amount discounts or having to manually turn off the discount. So it appear that there are limits with all the budget end market of shopping carts.
However, the folks at Bigcartel ANSWERED their readers FAQs and promised to look into the issue. So I give them big thumbs up for customer service!
If you are happy with a % discount then you might want to look at Bigcartel and just link it to your Webs site as a page.-

Tamara,
Please note that this is not a problem but an idea topic. This functionality was never added into the Web Store Application.
Currently this is an enhancement that users would like to see put into progress. However it's something that we're still considering at the moment.
I assure you that these enhancements are reviewed, however please understand that much time is needed to fully sort the enhancement. We have to consider the pros and cons of the change. It's not an easy decision to make as much thought has to go into the process of editing an application.
Please bear with us. We hear you. You're welcome to continue to post suggestions here. However as stated, this is not an issue. I hope that clarifies!

YES DOM..This is a PROBLEM AND AN ISSUE! How can you tell us it's not? Offering discounts to customers helps us promote good quality customer service, gets us more followers, and hopefully more income. Not being able to do something as simple as giving someone 10% off...is a PROBLEM! Because if the customer finds the same or similar product on another website that is giving a coupon code...and that customer goes and shops there...THAT IS A PROBLEM! WE JUST LOST A CUSTOMER..MONEY!!! And if we don't make money..WEBS don't make money! Simple!

I think you have to look at the section which has the apps that you qualify for and another section in your site settings.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all your comments thus far. Please continue to provide us with your suggestions here. We'll be sure to provide any updates if we decide to go further with this enhancement. Thanks!

PLEASE ADD COUPON CODE OPTIONS!!!! It certainly can't be that hard to implement!
-

Totally agree - how hard can it be to add this function? I spoke to WEBS and they said no plans to add this feature so I'm looking to move to another provider
-
-
-

As a Premium user of two Webs sites I am disappointed to see the word "if". I love Webs and think overall the enhancements have been well thought out and intuitive. For something as basic as adding the ability for a coupon or discount seems like a no brainer. I am curious as to why any delay to add this feature.

It would be so much more professional, modern, up to date and on par with other E-Commerce websites if customers could add a discount code to the web store checkout and have it applied before they make final payment.
As the creator of a huge E-Commerce site, I would like to be able to offer recurring customers discount, but at this stage it is not possible.
Please, please, please WEBS, upgrade the web store app to allow for discount codes. We would also like to see other payment options i.e. Direct Deposit, COD etc.
This is a matter of urgency WEBS. I love using your services and refuse to go elsewhere so please make the web store a matter of priority!

Below is some of the ideas posted by Webs users that I think would really help Webs and its users.
• Different price set when buying more than one- Such as buy 3 for $6
• Free Shipping option on different order sizes- Such as spend over $15 get free shipping
• Discount codes- Codes that change and can't be replicated (only be used once) so that their will be certain discounts to items
• Different Download Codes- Different links or codes to be used for users to buy and download. (It would be great if the code would change for each order/checkout so users wouldn't be able to distribute the items illegally.

check out ecwid.com this java plug in will do most of what you want.. and you can embed in a webs page.
-

@ Locustgroves how exactly does this site work? Does this apply to adding coupon codes to our webs website?
-
-
you will have to re-set up your store through the ecwid panel, but other than that being a pain, the tool really is a fantastic e-commerce store.
it not allows coupons, regardless of how your users pay. you can create all the coupons you want for use, set expiration, etc.
it will also track your orders, and customer information - which i couldn't do with webs e-commerce store either.
I have multiple options with different weights, prices and hence shipping on each product - and this tool handles it seamlessly. their forums response and helpfulness to work through what you want to do is also great.
check out their demo's and also log into the forums.
I chose to pay for the service, but there is a level that is free as well.
hope this helps.- view 2 more comments

Sorry Dom.....I didn't mean that Webs was asking for more money....but further up the feed someone suggested a plug in which you said was a great idea....but surely that's paying for a feature that other website companies offer as part of their packages. I just wanted to clear that up. :)
-
-
Ah I see. My Apologies for the mixup Sarah. :-) Thankfully @locustgroves mentioned the free option as well. I would recommend making use of that option if that works for you. :-)
Thanks for correcting me. Employees make mistakes too! :-)

I am completely frustrated by this topic. You have all these suggestions and you know that a lot of people are going to leave webs.com if you don't change these services and you still can't tell us an estimated time frame?
Coupon codes, for starters, obviously. Calculating shipping, would be awesome, but I don't mind setting shipping for each item at the time. Integration would be amazing. Ecwid has an app on facebook you can add to your page.
Please bring webs up to 2011 speed!-
We're currently hard at work on our new sitebuilder, which is using all our resources for the moment. Please rest assured that we've heard everyone's interest in updating this app. The feedback and suggestions have been excellent and this app is a top contender for updating once the sitebuilder is complete.
As soon as we can provide more information or a timeframe, we'll absolutely post here. Until then, thanks for all the great ideas and please continue to share your thoughts on features you'd like to see! -

Just a thought regarding coupons and discounts: If we were able to duplicate our store and have a backup store that was either accessible through members only.... or a second store that was not in view, we could then alternate the different stores that would ultimately have different pricing. Once the sale was over, then we could reinstate the original store and hide the sale store until it was needed again. Not sure if this makes sense, but I think it would be a temporary fix. ~CL

Just wanted to add my vote for this feature as well. It is a must these days to have option for coupons.
Also can you make optional tax/shipping mention - as in our case there is no shipping and tax (we sell training workshops in Australia). -
-
More Professional and Organized Options for WEBSTORE:
- Shipping Calculator
- Coupon Codes
- Price Options (if there is a difference in cost because of size/quantity of the same product)
- Control of Featured Products displayed
- Removal of Categories in the box above the products
- Quantity of products displayed on the pages (currently 30 which is too much)
- Related or Recommended Products when viewing one specific product
I'm sure some of them have been mentioned before, but these I believe are the essential features that would make your webstore application fit in the competitive level that other ecommerce sites are at.
I wish that I had reviewed the site with more time and realized that you lacked these features before purchasing 2 years of service only because it was at a good price. I guess you get what you pay for.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
WEBSTORE: Professional and Comparable Features for ecommerce apps.-
I completely agree with you. these features are a must have and need to be addressed quickly. There are so many of us requesting the same things. I'm starting to think we're wasting our time asking.
-

I'm sorry but we have waited long enough! There are sooo many of us requesting the same thing, but nothing is getting done about it.
We are paying customers (for now!) and you tell us that if we have any suggestions we would like adding to webs to put them on here, well we have!! but its got us no where. If you can't or don't want to create the software to allow us to add the features mentioned here then why don't you team up with a company that does? as all your doing is annoying your paying customers by not addressing this problem and to be honest I'm surprised something as important as this isn't available to us anyway! As being able to offer customers discounts, coupons etc.. is important for those of us with online stores.
Please do something about this as a lot of us on here have been waiting years for this feature to be added, I know I have and we are getting tired of waiting and can you blame us.
For online stores things like: discounts, coupons, shipping calculation, currency changing etc.. are very important
So before we end up going with someone else, that offers these features please address them as personally I do like webs but I just don't like how these requests that are important are not being answered which I'm sure is the same for everyone else. -
-
I've been using ecwid.com for afew months now, and its 1000x better than what webs offers and its free. I suggest looking into their estore, and just use webs to build/host your site
-
-
If you are using Google Checkout, you can create coupons within their site, either set dollar amounts or percents.
-
-
This is an age old request. Make coupons available in the webstores. I have to try many alternatives and give refund checks for free shipping. Please set up some effective coupon code to make and apply coupons.

Discount code feature would be GREAT, I am having customers ring or email me to redeem their membership discount, although the discount is AWESOME as it is generating business all the extra work of having to sort order totals out with discount & getting intouch with customer to confirm really is time consuming and a Pain in the A**. Now if doing that is bugging me imagine how it would be making my customers/members feel having to come direct everytime they want to place an order so they don't miss their membership discount.
Gosh come on Webs.... -

HERE'S AN EASY AND FREE WAY TO OFFER COUPON CODES ON YOUR WEBSITE: You can offer coupon codes if your customers use Google Checkout. Just go to www.googlecheckout.com, sign in, click Tools, then click Coupons, then click Create a New Coupon.
So far I've made two coupon codes for our website and they've both worked for our customers. I just found out about this a couple weeks ago :)- view 1 more comment

just contacted webs about the discount code facitlity - no plans to offer this (unbelievable in this day and age!) - can anyone recommend a new site builder with this facility

I can....email me at loodyloo10@live.co.uk and I'll email back....can't putit on here as they'll delete x

I know of it but does it work for Paypal if i offer that method as well?

Why is no one from Webs commenting on this issue or updating us with what they are doing to install a discount feature - this is not good service from webs

The under construction flag says 11 months ago. Has any progress been made on the discount/coupon application? My customers are waiting!

I can do this with Google Checkout, but it is still a good idea for Webs.
-

Because I want to allow my customers to choose payment processing companies (google or paypal) and paypal doesn't have coupon capabilities, I introduced ECWID cart to my site.
Unfortunately due to the lack of integration with webs and ecwid, my products were not searchable by web engine crawlers, and have now transferred my domain and hosting to another service provider so I could use joomla and it's ecwid integration.
Sorry webs, you were just too slow to respond to this business concern. -

Webs.com is missing out on a great customer sales getter by not offering coupon/discount capabilities...not to mention the loss of current clients.

I am so annoyed right now. I just recently upgraded my account here on webs and have sadly found there are no discount codes to offer my customers. Reading through the comments, it has been a whole year since people brought it to their attention. Why hasn't anything been done? This is a critical feature for business owners! Thinking about cancelling and moving elsewhere, because this is a feature that I really need...

See comment above xx

is pretty sad ...
GOOGLE CHECKOUT not supported outside US.
and webs theme limited no ecommerce feel ..
Struggling . .. . anyone know better website cheaper email me shirechin@gmail.com thanks
htp://youngpalacebeauty.blogspot.com -

What do yu mean by Google checkout is not supported outside US. isnt it like Paypal. You choose where you want to receive payments from? Please update me on this. Also, as of 6/26/2012 the system is now labelled googlewallet.
-
-
Notice that there have not been any updates form Webs on this "idea" or "enhancement" - I have just made my site live and really need to look at discounts/ couples, bulk buys (ie discount if you order more than 1 of the same product, or any other eCommerce feature instead of ordering just one of each item. Are Webs actually going to provide an update or provide the functionality to do this, or as a small business do I need to look elsewhere
Does anyone in the UK know of a cheapish eCommerce system that can do these sorts of functions and still offer payment through paypal... any help would be appreciated as Webs do not seem to be updating their members...
cheers guys -
-
We would all like the automatic coupon with paypal but it does not, only google offers that. However, I have had to improvise so checkout my site at www.fiwikidsbooks.net. I like webs and I am waiting for them to get those functionalities now that Vistaprints have acquired them.
-
-
This problem has been talked about here in 2 years now, why is nothing done??
-

Hi Dom/Other Officials
I am wondering how the progress on deciding the outcome of this idea is coming along. This post seems to have been written some time ago now, and I would also like to use a similar feature. Came onto the Q&A to ask this same question :-)
Regards,
