Setting the discount type for your event

If you want to set a specific type of promo code, (ie; percent discount, dollar amount discount, combo deal, flat rate), follow these steps for setting the promo code:

Select the “Add coupon code” button located on the left side of the screen

1. The pop-up window “Create Coupon Code” will appear
2. Click the first checkbox labeled “Manually create one code”
3. Find the section labeled “Type of discount”

4. Check the relevant box with the type of promo code discount you want to apply (flat rate, percentage, combo deal, or no discount)

NOTE: A code can either deduct a set dollar amount, such as $20 from the entire order or $5 from each ticket. You can choose to deduct a percentage from the entire order, such as a 10% discount. Another option is to set up a combo deal such as buy 2, get 1 half off. Lastly, you can choose to create a code that gives no discount and is simply for tracking purposes.

5. Once you’ve entered your promo code information, click the purple “Save Coupon Code” button at the bottom of the screen to save your discount

Setting your date and time limitations:

The customer will be required to use a code (their email address) to checkout. No one else will be able to purchase a ticket until the designated time frame.

In the “Create Coupon Code” window

1. Go to “Set date/time limitations (Optional)”
2. Here you set when your promo code is valid and when it expiresNOTE: A promo code can be set to only become valid after the specified date. If no starting date is set, the code will become valid immediately. An expiration date can also be set. After this date, the promo code will no longer work.

Removing codes from an event
