Create a promo codeNew

A code your Lekty'Fans type at checkout (e.g. NOEL25), or a link that applies it automatically. As a percentage or in euros, on one, several or all of your Lekty'Books, with an end date or no end date.

1. Click « Create an offer », then choose « Promo code » under « Offer type ».

The link with ?code= applies the discount as soon as someone lands on the Lekty'Book page: perfect for a story or an email.

Launch a time-limited discount with a strikethrough priceNew

A strikethrough price that everyone can see, no code needed, until the end date, with a countdown on the Lekty'Book page. The strikethrough price follows the law: it's the lowest price from the last 30 days, calculated by Lektify (the « Omnibus » rule).

1. Open your Lekty'Book, then the « Discounts and promo codes » menu.
2. Click « Create an offer » and keep « Time-limited discount ».
3. Enter the « Discount » (% or €) and check the final price example.
4. Choose the « Offer duration ».
5. Click « Launch discount »: the strikethrough price and « Ends in … » now show for your Lekty'Fans.

Your commission is calculated on the price actually paid.

Create a bundleNew

Several of your Lekty'Books sold together at a price you choose (a « bundle »), with no limit on how many. The bundle has its own public page, a mosaic cover or your own cover, and an « Also in the bundle » box on each Lekty'Book. Each Lekty'Book is still sold on its own too.

1. Click « Create a bundle » in Offers, or check your Lekty'Books in « My Lekty'Books » and then click « Create a bundle ».
2. Choose the Lekty'Books. For a subscription Lekty'Book, set the « Included access » (« Lifetime » or a number of months).
3. Fill in « Bundle title », « Description » and « Price » (minimum €4.99). Check « X € if bought separately ».
4. If you want, edit the « Summary shown in the bundle » for each Lekty'Book, and the cover (« My cover » or « Back to mosaic »).
5. Check « Published (visible and on sale) » and click « Create bundle », then « View page ».

A Lekty'Fan who's on the fence buys everything at once. Revenue is split between the Lekty'Books in proportion to their individual prices.

Offer a free trial on a subscriptionNew

Free days before the first subscription payment, and you choose how many. Only one trial per person per Lekty'Book, protected by account, email, IP address and bank card. A reminder email goes out 3 days before the trial ends.

1. Open your Lekty'Book and the « Access type » menu.
2. Under « Free trial », type the « Trial length in days » (leave it empty for no trial).
3. Click « Save »: the preview shows « N free days, then the subscription starts. ».
4. On your Lekty'Book page, your Lekty'Fans see the « Try free for N days » button.

If the card has already been used for a trial, the subscription starts right away, with no trial.

The last-chance offer when someone cancelsNew

The discount offered to a subscriber when they click « Cancel », before they confirm. It applies to all your subscription Lekty'Books, and it's only offered once per subscription.

1. Open the « Offers » page and scroll down to « Last-chance offer ».

4. Choose « For »: « the next month », « several months » (with the number of months) or « forever ».

Lots of people stay when you offer them something before they leave. Your commission follows each discounted invoice.

The canceled payment messageNew

What a Lekty'Fan sees when they leave the checkout page without paying: your message, plus (if you want) one of your promo codes, a free Lekty'Book, the Lekty'Book's free trial or an invitation to get your news. It shows up when someone comes back from a canceled payment and when they close the cart's payment window.

1. Open the « Offers » page and find « Canceled payment message ».
2. Check « Enabled » and write « Your message ».
3. Choose whether to « Offer a promo code » (create a code first) and « Offer a free Lekty'Book ».
4. If you want, check « Remind them of the Lekty'Book's free trial (if it has one) » and « Invite them to get my news by email ».
5. Click « Save ».

The Lekty'Fan sees « Before you go, a word from … »: a well-timed gesture brings back some of the people who were hesitating.
