You can set the discount in the PayPal properties.

Sorry to hijack this thread Pablo - Where exactly do you set the discount? I cannot see this option.

You can add a discount and other additional PayPal options via "Extra Variables".

Thank you for this - So how would the customer use this? Would they automatically get 10% off or can they enter a code at the checkout to deduct the 10%?

In this case, the discount value will be subtracted from the total price.

Note that this is standard PayPal functionality, not specific to WWB.

More options:

In that case I will post in suggestions for a Discount code feature.

I am aware of this - PayPal does not need to deal with discounts - as WWB will and will send the final figure to PayPal to charge the customer. (This is how [RZ]'s worked).

Just want to quip in on this. I think it can (or could) be done with javascript. At onetime in a webpage (galaxy) site (far far away) the owner gave very helpful PayPal code (javascript) to do this. The site wasn't a coding or design help it was just something the owner done on the side. I did try using the web archive to find it but I get told the archive is not secure. I do have a reference to the PayPal community that shows an example using javascript can't say it is valid anymore as it is old.
Anyway here is the PayPal link.

Interesting BF - However this does not need to be connected to PayPal imho - It can be setup like what Pablo currently has with Extra Variables - It would look like this:
