How to create promo codes, discount links and QR codes

A promo code takes money off a booking, or lets the customer pay only part of it now. Customers type it at your website's checkout, or open a link that enters it for them.

Discount

A Percentage off, with an optional Maximum discount, or a Fixed amount.

Deposit option

Nothing off the price: the customer may pay this share now and the rest later.

Create a promo code


  1. 1

    Open the form

    Go to Bookings → Promo codes and click Add promo code. Give it an Internal name for your list; customers don't see it.

  2. 2

    Choose what it gives

    Under What this code gives, choose Discount and its Discount type, or Deposit option and its Deposit percentage.

  3. 3

    Choose what it covers

    Under Scope, choose All products, or Specific products and pick them. Add a Minimum order value if a booking must reach one.

  4. 4

    Choose when it works

    The Booking window is when the booking must be made; the Travel window, when the tour must take place. Maximum redemptions caps the uses. Leave any of them empty for no limit.

  5. 5

    Choose where it works

    Apply to storefront lets customers use it at your website's checkout, and Apply to backoffice lets your staff add it to a booking. Both start on.

  6. 6

    Write the code

    Under Codes, type the Promo code customers will use, or click the button beside it for a random one. Click Create.

A promo code that takes 22% off.

A deposit code leaves a balance to pay, and nothing reminds the customer of it until you set a Full payment due date on the booking.
