Automated discounts

Set up discounts that apply automatically without a promo code.

Automated discounts apply to purchases automatically — no code needed. They're rule-based: when a client purchases a qualifying item, the discount is applied at checkout without any action from them.

Create an automated discount

  1. Go to Setup → Promo Codes (or Automated Discounts)
  2. Click Add New
  3. Select Automated Discount
  4. Configure the conditions:
    • Which pricing option triggers the discount
    • Which pricing option gets the discount applied
    • Discount amount — percentage or fixed amount
  5. Save

Use cases

Multi-class pack upgrade incentive When a client buys a 10-class pack, automatically discount a 20-class pack to encourage them to buy the larger option.

Membership upgrade When someone is on a basic membership, offer them a discounted add-on automatically.

Loyalty reward After a client's third purchase, they automatically get 10% off their next pack — no code needed.

Bundle discount When clients buy a class pack and also purchase a merchandise item in the same session, apply a 15% discount automatically.

Viewing usage

Automated discounts are tracked in your payment reports the same way as manual promo codes. You can see the discount applied on individual client payment records.
