• Easier to read refund emails: The messages sent to you and the customer now have the sale id in the subject line so you can quickly and easily find the sale and customer requesting a refund.
• Improved coupons: You can reinstate old coupons if they are deleted or expired. Suppliers may now also pass in 2Checkout coupons with the order using the “coupon” parameter.
• The new CSV upload: Now you can upload product lists using either commas or the pipe symbol. This should make listing large numbers of products much faster.

I want to thank our developers for getting these updates out. I also want to thank all of you who have given your feedback to let us know what we can do to help make selling online easier and more convenient.

• percentage off individual items or off entire sales
• a set amount discount off an individual item or of entire sale
• free shipping

And if you’re feeling ambitious (or generous!), you can also set up multiple coupons.

What does the customer do to redeem the coupon? When you create a coupon, you will provide the coupon code that you can distribute to your customers in whatever manner you like. The customer will enter this code when making a purchase and the discount will be calculated automatically into the sale. The discount can also be applied automatically by passing the coupon code into the purchase routine using the coupon parameter. It is important to note that if a coupon is being applied to a recurring product the discount will only apply to the first installment.
