Even with the remote hosting option we mentioned last week, you may hit some trouble if the file you are selling is over the 2 GB limit we provide for remote files. But fear not! There is a work around. 

Our remote file size option being limited to 2 GB is a hard technical limit that is imposed by our web server architecture. That limit is derived from the maximum value that can be represented by a 32-bit signed integer, which is 2,147,483,647 bytes, which is 2.147 GB.

Some people have asked us, and maybe you are asking it too, “why don't we just upgrade the web server to allow larger files?”

Both brick and mortar shops and online shops have a frequent need to offer products at a discount. Your strategy may be to clear out old products to make room for something fresh and new or convert new customers with a discount so they get hooked on your product and come back for more. 

With e-junkie, our discount feature provides an easy way to create a discounts that will automatically apply to your products. This means customers won't have to enter a code to get the discount. (For information about e-junkie discount codes, click here.) You can setup automatic discounts by item or for all cart items, which is a good idea for holiday sales.

e-junkie is setup to be an easy, do-it-yourself system that can be used by just about anyone, anywhere. That's what makes it a great tool, but of course there are some limitations (as there are with any system). 

We do not have a report to tell you what you how much VAT you owe to the different E.U. member states, but you can easily calculate this. In this blog post, we'll show you how. 

Note: You will need to use a spreadsheet program to complete these calculations. Bear in mind as you go through these step-by-step instructions, different spreadsheet programs might have slight differences.

Now, the first thing you will need to do is download your transaction log for the time period you need. In your e-junkie account, click on View/Download Transaction Log near the bottom right corner. Once the log opens set the date range you want. It will look like this...

You may have noticed that the payment processors we integrate with do not allow free checkouts. But you might not know that we have our own free checkout feature you can use. With this feature, your buyer pays nothing and we do not charge a per transaction fee. This is a great option for teaser products. For example: if you want to offer a free song download to entice your fans and potential fans to buy your whole album.


We can only provide a set number of free checkouts based on the subscription plan level that you have, from 100 up to 1000 per day. But here’s how you can temporarily increase the limit.

In E-junkie support, we often get e-mails from concerned users who have they received an e-mail telling them that their subscription to E-junkie has been canceled. These e-mails are automated e-mails our system sends out when PayPal contacts us and lets us know a subscription has been canceled, usually on their end for some reason.


But, if you get one of these do not panic. First, we do not just cut off service to our users if this happens. Second, all you need to do is setup a new subscription. If you are unsure how to do that, the e-mail will contain a link to a help page with all the steps you need to take.

There you go, a short and sweet tip for this week.

The online marketplace is crowded, if your customers can get in and out with a simple click of a button (instead of scrolling down lists of options) they are more likely to buy right now. Luckily, you can make your customers' shopping experience quick and easy with e-junkie.  

When you are selling a product that comes in different colors, patterns, etc. you can use our variant feature to set up a product with Variants to allow a single product to handle it, using drop down menus for buyers to select the size and color.  But consider having buttons for each option, a button for a small white shirt, a different button for a small black one, etc. This can still be setup with our Variant feature and then just a little extra coding is needed to make each set of options into a single button.

Picking up from last week, this we want to talk about setting province-specific tax rates for all the Canadian e-junkie users. We didn't leave our neighbors to the north out! 

Now the one problem you may find is that there is not a way to separate the GST and PST in the cart or receipt. But, since HST is used in many places this will not be a problem for everyone.


Start by going to Seller Admin>Edit E-junkie Cart Sales Tax & VAT Settings.  On the following page, in the lower right, enter in the abbreviation for each province and territory, followed by a comma and the tax rate. See the screenshot below to follow along as you set your settings.

Shipping in the United States can be tricky if you are not using USPS Flat Rate Boxes. Part of the reason for this is that most people only really think about the 50 States, and the shipping can be different outside the contiguous United States.

E-junkie, being based in the United States, has certain settings based on the way things are set at the U.S. Postal Service. The United States, according to them, includes all the outline territories - Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, America Samoa and Wake Island. 


Even when shipping within the United States, UPS or Fed Ex can charge these locations can increase the cost of shipping.  So you will want to set specific shipping rates for these locations. We will show you how.

Some of our merchants have products that can all ship for the same amount, maybe you are selling CDs and/or DVDs or maybe clothing. Our shipping does allow you to setup a flat rate so the buyer gets charged for each item they are purchasing. For this example we are going to charge a flat $2.50 for each item.

Starting from the Admin page you will click on the Edit E-junkie Cart Shipping Settings link on the right side of the page. Then click Next on the page that loads, because you will not need the first page in the Shipping Settings.
