Coupons reduce the cart price for bookings and amenities or packages purchased by prospects or members. You can customize coupon settings to limit the properties a coupon can be used at, the amenities and packages the coupon applies to, the spaces the coupon applies to, who can use a coupon, how many times, and how long a coupon is active. Users can only apply one coupon per transaction.
TIP: When adding a coupon, you can copy data from an existing active or archived coupon. Locate the coupon you want to copy and click the Additional Options button. Select Copy from the drop-down menu. The New Coupon screen appears with the fields populated according to selections made in the original coupon. If the original coupon's end date is in the past, you must enter a new end date.
