Free Checkout
Using E-junkie's built-in Free Checkout
Payment processors like PayPal will not process a transaction without any actual payment, but you can still offer items for free through our shopping cart! If a buyer's order total is 0.00—either because the item(s) they are ordering have a Price set to 0.00, or because a Discount reduced their order total to 0.00—then their cart will show a button for E-junkie's Free Checkout.
This is available via our Add to Cart buttons/links and Product Pages, which are also used for E-junkie Shops in our Marketplace. However, it will not work with our Buy Now buttons/links, because those skip past our cart to take buyers directly to instant checkout with a specific payment service, which cannot handle orders without any payment, so it is not possible to accept free orders via our Buy Now type of purchase buttons/links.
Our Free Checkout simply requires the buyer to provide their Name and Email, and optionally their Company and Phone, before we would grant access to their thank-you/download page. The Name and Email each buyer provides can be added to the Buyer Group list we maintain for each product they order and can also be submitted to your Webhook Integration URL(s) and/or third-party mailing list integration. If you wish, you can make the Phone field required for all checkouts in your E-junkie Dashboard under Manage Seller Account > Edit Preferences.
Free Checkouts daily limit
To prevent customer abuse of the Free Checkout option and limit potential losses in case of inadvertent misconfiguration by the Seller allowing unintended Free Checkouts, our system will only process a limited number of Free Checkouts per day for each Seller. We will email you a notification when you have reached 80% of your limit for the day, and at every 5% increment thereafter. This daily Free Checkouts limit varies according to your subscription plan level:
