How to Create a PayPal Shipping Discount Code
If you run your own e-commerce site or store, and use PayPal buttons to make sales, chances are you've created "button codes" through PayPal for your "Add to Cart" or "Buy Now" buttons. The process is quite simple; but if you want to get a little more complicated and add discounts on shipping, you'll need a different type of code associated with the various for sale items on your site. Since creating a working HTML code from scratch is not easy for everyone, PayPal makes it simpler by providing many template codes on its website.
