Discount Codes lets you offer special deals to your clients to help boost your bookings. Whether you're trying to attract new clients or reward loyal ones, you can create custom codes with rules like "first-time clients only," "minimum booking amount," or set specific start and end dates.

These discounts work across your marketplace profile, booking link, and custom websiteβ€”making it easy to promote your services and stand out. Available for PRO and free trial users.

Why Use Discount Codes?

Discounts are a powerful tool to:

  • 🎯 Attract first-time clients

  • πŸ” Encourage repeat bookings

  • πŸ’¬ Promote your services through search and profile tags

  • πŸ’Ό Drive sales during slow periods or special occasions


Who Has Access?

βœ… PRO Plan users – Full access to create and manage discounts

βœ… Free Trial users – Temporary access during the 30 day free trial

❌ Free & Lite plan users – Discount Codes are not available on these plans. Upgrade to PRO to unlock this feature.

Once your Free Trial ends, all discounts become inactive until you upgrade to PRO.


πŸ› οΈ How to Create a Discount

  1. Go to your Profile

  2. Tap Discount Codes

  3. Click Add New Discount

  4. Set your rules (discount type, dates, client eligibility, etc.)

  5. Click Save & Publish

You can view, edit, or delete codes anytime. Edits apply only to new bookings.


🎯 Discount Rules You Can Set

β–ͺ️ First-time clients only
This means the discount will only work for clients who have never booked with you before. It’s great for attracting new clients to try your services.

β–ͺ️ One-time use per client
Each client can only use this discount once. Perfect if you want to run a promotion without it being reused multiple times by the same person.

β–ͺ️ Minimum booking amount required
Clients must spend a certain amount (e.g., $50 or more) before they can apply the discount. This ensures the discount only applies to higher-value bookings.

β–ͺ️ Start and end date scheduling
You can choose when the discount becomes active and when it expires. Ideal for limited-time promos, seasonal offers, or special events.

πŸ’‘ Discounts are capped at 80%
You can offer up to 80% off a booking, but not more. This helps ensure you're still earning from each booking while giving clients a great deal.
