Discounts are a way to offer people money off Sessions.
Discounts are similar to, but distinct from, Vouchers. While Vouchers require a Voucher Code to be entered on the Bookings Site, Discounts are automatically applied to a Booking Cart that meets certain Booking requirements.
You can apply Discounts to a Project by navigating to the Project Page and selecting the 'Discounts' tab. Here, you can select which automatic discount you would like to apply to your Project:
Percentage: A fixed percentage is discounted from the Booking total. For example, if a 10% Discount is enabled, and an Account Holder books £100 worth of Sessions, their final total will be £90.
Amount: A set amount is discounted from the entire Booking total. For example, if an Account Holder books onto a Project with an automatic discount set to the amount of £10, their total will be discounted by £10, regardless of how many Sessions they have booked onto.
Fixed Amount: A set amount is discounted from a Booking when an entire Block is booked onto.
Discounts can also be Stacked when the 'Stack Discounts' box is ticked. This means that Automatic Discounts can be applied to a Booking Cart in conjunction with a Sibling Discount.
Sibling Discount
A Sibling Discount is applied when two or more Participants from the same account are booked onto the same Session. This will apply both when the Sessions are booked simultaneously or separately.
To activate the Sibling Discount, navigate to your Project Page by clicking through 'Bookings > Projects > All' and click on the name of your Project. Then, click on the Discounts tab, where you will find a drop-down menu named 'Sibling Discount'.
The Sibling Discount can be set up using the same Discount Types as Automatic Discounts: Percentage, Amount and Fixed Amount. Select the option you would like to apply to your Project from the dropdown menu.
You will also have the choice to apply the Sibling Discount to 'All Siblings' or 'Additional Siblings'. If 'All Siblings' is selected, the Sibling Discount will be applied to all Customers. If 'Additional Siblings' is selected, the Sibling Discount will apply only to subsequent customers who book on after the original customer.
In the 'Discount' tab of a Project Page, you will also see the option to offer Taster Sessions.
Using discounts on blocks
You can set discounts to be applied within certain blocks.
To do this, navigate to your chosen project, then select the 'Blocks' tab.
You can then select the relevant Block that you’d like the Discount to apply. Once inside the details section of the block, scroll down, and you will find the “Discounts” Section. Clicking on it will expand the menu.
Using the drop-down menu, you will be able to select whether the Discount is a Percentage, which is a percentage taken off of the entire booking, Amount, which is a set amount from the entire booking, or Fixed Amount, which is a set amount that's discounted from each session in your booking.
Next, you can select how much this discount will be, by entering an amount in the amount field.
Discounts within a block will only apply if the customer is booking for all sessions within that block. This means that if they only select a few sessions, or the block has already started and some sessions are missing because of it, this discount will not apply.
It is also worth noting that the discount within a block takes priority over any other discounts for that project. So if we have a 20% discount here and a 20% discount within the discounts tab, the whole project will only be 20% off.
Be sure to click save to apply any changes, then your discount will be applied to the Block.
