Apply Discounts and Promotions

From the Advance Sales or Daily Sales page, you can apply discounts and promotions to reduce the price of the purchase prior to payment. You can apply manual discounts and promotions as the only discount on a purchase or along with multiple discounts. For example, when a patron purchases three tickets to the Sea Turtles lecture, she presents an AAA membership card to receive a discount that takes $1 off of each ticket. Along with the manual AAA membership card discount, another discount has already been configured to automatically reduce all orders during the month of July by 10%. After the program calculates both discounts, it applies the $1 AAA membership card discount to each ticket and then reduces the total price of the order by an additional 10%.

You can apply promotion code discounts and promotions when the patron presents a valid code. You can apply promotion code discounts as the only discount on a purchase or along with multiple discounts. For example, when a patron purchases three tickets to the Sea Turtles lecture and three Sea Turtle T-shirts, he presents a valid promotion code discount that takes $1 off of each ticket and each merchandise item. Along with the promotion code discount, another discount has already been configured to automatically reduce all orders during the month of July by 10%. After the program calculates both discounts, it applies the $1 promotion code discount to each ticket and merchandise item and then reduces the total price of the purchase by an additional 10 percent.

If you have security rights, you can also enter adjustable discounts at your discretion. For example, you can apply a 10 percent discount to an order for an unsatisfied customer, or take $10 off an event that is already in progress.
