Recommended Reading Before You Start
After an event is already created, you can add a discount code for the event. This code may be entered by constituents at the time of checkout when purchasing a ticket. Once entered, the code will apply a specified discount to the purchased ticket(s). You can distribute this code to all constituents or to specific groups of constituents.
Please note: If you have both a code discount and an automatic discount set up for your event, the greater of the two discounts will apply; not both discounts. Only one discount will apply per ticket per event. The best possible discount will always be applied to the purchase.
Instructions
Add a Discount Code to an Event
To add a discount code to an event:
1. Select Events in the navigation menu and then select Events in the drop-down menu.
2. Select your event on the Events page.
On the event's Overview page:
3. Select Discounts in the left side menu.
On the Discounts page:
4. Select the Add Discount button in the upper right corner.
The Create Discount pop-up will appear.
5. Complete the Create Discount pop-up per the image and table below. When finished, select the Continue button in the lower right corner.
| Field Name | Description | |
| A. | Internal Name | Enter the internal name of the discount. The public will not see this name. |
| B. | Discount Activation Method | Select Code since this discount method requires the constituent to enter a code to receive the discount. |
| C. | Code | Enter the discount code for use by constituents. This is the code you must distribute to constituents so they may apply it during the ticket checkout process. (You may not include spaces between words or letters in the code.) |
| D. | Public Description | If applicable, enter a description of the discount code. This field is visible to the public. |
| E. | Amount | Enter the discount amount (you may choose either a specific dollar amount or a percentage discount amount). |
| F. | Active Dates - Starts | Enter the start date on which the discount code will be available for use (the default selection is Immediately). |
| F. | Active Dates - Ends | Enter the end date on which the discount code will no longer be available (the default selection is Does Not Expire). |
| G. | Who Can Use this Discount? (for clients that use the membership module) | If you wish to make this a member-only ticket type, select either All Member Levels to apply this ticket type to all membership levels your organization supports or select Specific Member Levels to select specific membership level(s) that qualify to purchase this ticket type (optional). |
| H. | Minimum Requirements | Allows you to indicate whether a minimum dollar amount or a minimum number of tickets must be purchased in order for the discount to apply, as applicable (optional). Select the applicable checkbox if applicable. |
| I. | Usage Limits |
The top checkbox allows you to limit the use of the discount code to a specified number of uses per customer (a field will appear when the checkbox is selected into which you may enter the amount of times the discount code may be used per customer). The bottom checkbox allows you to limit how many times the discount code may be used as a whole across all customers (a field will appear when the checkbox is selected into which you may enter the total amount of times the discount code may be used). For example, you may set a maximum usage to limit the usage of a discount code to the first 50 customers who use the discount code. In this case, you would select the checkbox and enter "50" into the field that appears when you select the checkbox. You may select one, both, or neither of these options for your discount code. |
On the next page of the Create Discount pop-up:
6. Select the event occurrences to which the discount will apply. (If you select Specific occurrences, you must specify the day(s) of the week and/or the specific occurrence date(s) on which the discount will validly apply. If selected, constituents may only use the discount for occurrences on the specified date(s).) Once you have made your selection, select the Continue button in the lower right corner.
On the next page of the Create Discount pop-up:
7. Select the ticket type(s) to which the discount will apply. (If you select Specific tickets, you must select the specific ticket type(s) - i.e, Adult, Child, Senior, etc. - to which the discount will apply.) Once you have made your selection, select the Save button in the lower right corner.
The discount now appears on the Discounts page.
