Have found and tried numerous times to deduct $2 from shipping cost after first item ordered and it won’t stick into my listing to show a shipping discount offered. so frustrating. someone please help !!

You need to add the shipping discount to each item. I did test your booth and you are right there in no shipping discount. If you still can’t get it to work contact support.

If you have a large booth you can go to update item as a group, change each price then go in and change shipping.

To have a shipping discount
Go [URL removed]
Sell on Bonanza (top of screen)
Edit booth options (tab an the right)
Discount & coupons (tab)
this is where you set up your combined shipping.

I don’t recommend just using coupons, because your original price will show on internet sites and buyers won’t see a coupon unless they are in your booth and in the item.

StarvingPackrats method is the combined shipping discount not item discount..and that is the proper method to set it up….

The other option is instead of $2.00 you use 100% (or whatever % of you want to use) of the shipping discounted on additional items..both methods work…as long as you click on the save all my changes button at bottom of page

this comment is incorrect from StarvingPackrats
While it won’t directly come off the shipping side (it’ll come off the item side), the buyer ought to get the $2.00 discount on each additional item.

If you use this method…unless there is something wrong with your settings…it should work…

Go to discounts and coupons in your edit booth options.Check the box that shows [URL removed]

Offer a discount for each item after the first when calculating shipping costs.
Buyers will pay normal shipping costs for the item with the most expensive shipping costs. For each additional item in their [URL removed] add $ to the price of each item shipped after the most expensive item.
I have mine set to add $.50 for any additional items.

I ship nearly all my sales First Class in padded envelopes.
No matter what shipping cost you enter, the $.50 additional will automatically be added on the billing invoice for any additional purchase.

I think this might [URL removed]

Upper left corner of your screen, under
SELL ON BONANZA
click EDIT BOOTH OPTIONS.

Click DISCOUNTS & COUPONS.
In the COMBINED SHIPING DISCOUNT section,
check the box for “Offer a discount for each item after the first when calculating shipping costs.”

Just below that, you’ll see a sentence with pull down boxes. Make it read like [URL removed] "Buyers will pay normal shipping costs for the item with the most expensive shipping costs. For each additional item in their [URL removed] SUBTRACT AN AMOUNT FOR EACH ADDITIONAL ITEM | DOLLARS | subtract $ 2.00 from the price of each item shipped after the most expensive item.

While it won’t directly come off the shipping side (it’ll come off the item side), the buyer ought to get the $2.00 discount on each additional item.

This might be an easy addition The Boyz can make in this section to add a check box to “apply discount to item” or “apply discount to shipping”. If you’re interested in suggesting it, you can do that [URL removed] [URL removed]

actually this does come off the total shipping costs…hit the “Save All My Changes” button at the bottom or it won’t stick

I don’t think it is possible here like it is on Etsy. If it is I hope we get some input from Admin. :) Might be best to keep the free shipping since many sources feel Free Shipping is a draw. You might want to explore some kind of discount coupon as an alternative??

I agree,,,free shipping and adjust your sales price accordingly.

You may want to check on your shipping costs. It is coming up as $12.73 UPS calculated shipping.
For better internet search results use a flat rate not the calculated rate.

better reset that to USPS and not UPS…your buyers are being charged UPS 1 pound rate 3 day

Mind if I ask WHY do you want to do this?

Bonanza selling fee will remain .50 for each sale, anyways

Instead of changing all of your listings (go in, put amount down to $5, then change the postage to $2 in BULK EDITING AREA

Am unsure why you want to change such from $7 FREE SHIPPING to $5 plus $2 postage

Please [URL removed] paypal charges you percentage of BOTH item cost AND postage too-

Add Free Shipping to all your title-many buyers like ME WANT to buy from FREE Shipping sellers or at least I sure dos

You can do such in bulk if you wish
