Setup and Promote Discount / Promo Codes
Discount Codes are a flexible way to run promotions, reward members, and drive new sign-ups.
They can be used to reduce the cost of memberships, bookings, or both, depending on how they are configured.
Members enter a code during sign-up or purchase, or staff can apply it manually.
Discount Codes are managed from Settings > Financial Configuration > Discounts Codes / Referrals.
