This all started when I was researching to see if Squarespace offers any solutions that would allow you to set quantity-based discounts (i.e. $4/each, 3 for $10), and long story short - there isn't any which is a huge bummer. Then I'm thinking that maybe I could post a product listing and call it a "bundle", a "set" or a "box" priced at $10, and customers can select 3 products that are eligible for the discount as variants, but in this case, tracking inventory will be a huge mess. So my question is, can I use the same SKU in multiple listings? And what will happen if I do that? Will they share the same inventory cuz if they do, that'd be real nice. Please help! Thank you!

I am trying to setup integration with an affiliate program. I'm sending an XHR to the affiliate on order confirmation (using the code-injection tool), but I can't figure out what the SquareSpace variable is to get the discount code. I need to include this in the JSON I'm sending. Does anyone know what that variable is called? What I have already is below. I've tested it with hardcoded data to confirm that it does work correctly, but I need to know what that "coupon" variable is on the SquareSpace side. <script type="text/javascript"> let request = new XMLHttpRequest; request.open("POST", "AFFILIATE_LINK"); request.setRequestHeader('Api-Key', 'APIKEY'); request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json'); request.send(JSON.stringify({ "coupon": promoCodeThatINeedFromSquareSpace, "amount": {orderSubtotal}, "customer_id": {customerEmailAddress}, "external_id": {orderID} })); </script> Thanks in advance for any help!

We are looking to offer unique discount codes and only apply to a specific customer so that they cannot share codes. Is this possible in Squarespace / can it be integrated with a third party? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Site URL: https://www.homebrewdice.co.uk Hi All, I was wondering what the best method is to offer people a Discount Code for signing up to our Newsletter. We have a Promotional Pop-up that appears upon visiting, and I'd like the incentive of a DC to get them to input. The ideal scenario is as follows: Someone visits the site The pop-up shows, and they input their email In their inbox, is a DC for 10% off their next order It's a single-use DC per customer / created automatically for them with a one-use limit Note: We don't send regular emails, only for big projects we are working on (i.e. a Kickstarter that's coming up), but otherwise the list is untouched. If anyone does something similar, please do let me know, but any advice is hugely appreciated 🙂

Site URL: https://www.allergyvillage.com Hello I am looking to run an offer where any 6 products can be picked for £9.99, is there any guidance please? Best, Rhian

Ive looked and came up empty handed. Is there a way to add thresholds pricing to quantities on items? For example, if you buy 1-10 of product A, its $15.99, but if you buy 10-20 of product A, they are 12.99. etc etc. I need a way to set the thresholds, and then hope that it also calculates it. TIA

Hi all, I'm looking to develop a new e-commerce site for our company and like the look of Squarespace. One thing I can't find the answer to is whether a specific group of customers can be set up with different pricing. So, when they log in, they get to see discounted pricing while other customers see the standard pricing. We deal with a lot of overseas resellers of our products and it's useful for them to be able to buy through the web site. Thanks in advance. Steve

I've seen there are so many basic ways to offer discounts that are missing... how do you guys deal with that? For example: I want to give a discount to all owners of Product A for product B I want to give all current clients (who created an account) a discount I want to prevent discounts to be applied on items already on sale. I want to send a discount code only to people who have purchased in the past with AND are subscribed to the newsletter (for legal reasons)

Hello everyone, I've been trying to find a go around for a bogo 50% discount code can anyone help me please? Much appreciated

Hi there, Having fun with Squarespace 7.1 for the first time. Is there a way to generate a number of unique discount codes in batch? It is important for us to generate unique discount codes for our members. Creating them one by one is looooooooooong. So we're looking for a way to generate them in batches, and ideally export them from Squarespace for easier distribution. Alternatively, we're open to import coupons if this is also possible. Patrick

Is it possible to assign a discount to members when they are shopping on a squarespace site which has a public shop as well? A client is looking at automatically assigning discount to products in the existing shop for members...?

Site URL: https://www.zaziplays.com Hi, We have recently expanded our shop section to have more products in it and will be adding more soon. we currently stock each product in two colours and are offering people a small discounted price when they buy a set of two or set of three (of the same product). we have done this buy creating a separate category for single item, set of two and set of three. We have then proceeded to have colour options that correspond to the amount of cups they are buying so if one cup just 2 options (colour A or B). if they buy a set of two they can choose (two of colour A, two of colour B or one of each) we then replicated this with sets of three with all the possible variants. While this works fine for now when we add 2-3 more colours for each product it will become very messy (a lot of colour options in the list to choose from. What I am wanting to know is how can we best simplify the colour choosing process for the customer? In an ideal scenario I would ant something along these lines; Customer can see the colour options displayed next to one another and they can add how many they want of each colour (Via text box, or increase and decrease arrows) and the website calculate the cheapest option for the customer (example 5 cups being a set of three and a set of two) I have thought of taking the colour options off and having a form attached to the buying process to capture the colours but I am unsure if this will link into Trunk which we use for stock management. We currently have the basic commerce plan but would upgrade to another plan if needed. I think I have given all the details I can, feel free to ask for more info if needed. Thanks in advance

Site URL: https://www.essentialseco.ca Hi, i am new to Squarespace e-commerce and am trying to set up a PROMO CODE for a gift with purchase instead of a % or $ off. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have an item on my website which is constantly discounted as it's an upsell product. When I put the item in my basket and checkout, the only price displayed is the sale price. Is there any way the original price can also be displayed? Thank you in advance to anyone that helps! :)

Site URL: https://balanceforcyclists.com/2021home Hello! I have three products that need to have distinct discount amounts on them, but need to use a singular discount code for all three options. It is a subscription service product, and only one can be purchased at a time. The pricing scheme and discounting is as follows: $9.95 > $1 off with discount code // $14.95 > $2 off with discount code // $19.95 > $3 off with discount code What I would like to have happen is that the client enters its discount code (i.e., "ABC") and that code triggers the appropriate discount depending on the product (or price level) chosen. I'll need to repeat this with different discount codes as well, the code is the tracker for a certain group's performance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Site URL: https://fourgen.org I want to create a discount code for 35% off a certain product, but only if at least 4 in quantity of that product are purchased. It's basically a group discount for a training I offer. I can't find a way to set the discount so that it only kicks in if the quantity in the cart hits 4. Does anyone know if there's a way to do that?

Site URL: http://www.whitecloudkiteboarding.com/shop Hi all I am hoping that you might be help to please help me with some problem solving. I have been trying to find a solution for the functionality that I am after for a quite a while now. I run a shop that sells kites. The customer needs a number of different products and I wish to offer a discount based on a combination of products. I looked at the Advanced plan and saw it offered the Automatic Discount feature. I could figure out from the video whether it would suit my needs but but I decided to upgrade anyway. All I've managed to do is get my site to automatically apply a discount if the cart is over certain dollar amounts. I see you can apply for a certain category but that's not what I'm after. I'm looking for a solution that says, if you add product A + B, get 5% off, if you add product A + B + C, get 10% off. Someone suggested that a 3rd party app might be able to achieve this, but I have no idea where to start. Please can someone suggest how I might achieve this. Thanks is advance!

Hi, is it possible to change the text in this area ? doesn't fit in with what i want to do Thank you

Happy New Year to you all! I am setting up a wholesale products page. As our customers will be buying in multiples of 50/100 I was wondering how I can go about adding this feature on the product page? For example: 50-100 items cost £3 each 100-200 of the same item cost £2.50 Is there any way I can set this up so it automatically generates a cost for the differing price and amount? Therefore our customers can add the products they want and checkout without me having to invoice etc. Many thanks in advance, Helena.

hey guys! i've set up my entire store and i am soon ready to release it, as a photographer i sell prints in 4 different sizing, i have set prices for all of them and a sale price, once i release my website i'd like to offer a launch sale, is there a way to ''tick'' all of my product on sale without having to manually go to each miage and tick sale on every sizes? this seems ridiculous,, i know the discoutn page is there but i don't want the exact ammount or % for every size, which is why i set sale prices on each sizes, thanks!

Site URL: https://www.jewelboutiquemalta.com/ Hi All, I have an online store with squarespace. Is there any way to add a 'Make an Offer' option next to the 'Add to Cart' option?

Site URL: https://www.strappedcamera.co Help! I have just upgraded to the advanced ecommerce plan and need to set-up a buy one, get the second product half price discount for an upcoming offer...but no matter what I've tried, I can't seem to find a way to do this (or even a work around). I really don't want to have to switch to Shopify, but the lack of ecommerce options on Squarespace is driving me crazy! Has anyone had any luck with this or can suggest a possible work around that I haven't thought of? Thanks in advance!

To encourage membership to have a trial, I would like to offer discounted or free first month. The discounts do not work when fee is set to reoccurring. The only way I can find for a discount to work is for one time fee. Any idea on a workaround or if a fix is being worked on? It's seems to be an intuitive use of a discount and like something a lot of people would want. I thought of doing one time fee with discount and then plan to add a subscription on the backend in Stripe, but that takes the automation out totally and you don't collect the credit card information so it ends up a monthly invoice. Thanks for help!
