If you want to create a discount for the initial payment of a membership contract, you have a couple of ways to proceed. For example, if you are running a promotion where you want the initial payment to be $10 and then the following months to renew at the regular price, you can configure either an automatic discount or discount code.
First, you want to determine if you plan to use an existing membership contract or create a new one.
If you are using an existing membership contract and you do NOT want those already with the contract already to get the discount, you MUST create a discount code that new buyers will enter at checkout. If you create an automatic discount for a membership that customers already have in their account, they will receive the discount too.
If you do not want to create a discount code that customers must type in upon checkout and rather have the discount take place automatically in the customer's cart, you must create a new membership contract so that the discount will only impact new buyers of the contract.
*Note: Code(s) will not work on a membership that is set to bill on a future start date.
If Using a Discount Code:
Navigate to Discount Type > select Discount code.
Type in one or more codes that customers can enter upon checkout to redeem the discount. Again, this will only apply to the initial payment of the membership.
You can then either select whether you want to use % off or $ off.
Next, select the studio location(s) where it can be redeemed.
Navigate to Products > select Select Type > search for the Membership.
If this discount can be used by anyone, navigate to User Segment > set to Everyone.
If clients can only redeem this once, enter '1' for Discount Orders per Customer.
If Using an Automatic Discount:
Repeat the same process of setting the discount up in the previous example, but set the discount type to Automatic Discount. This means the discount will automatically apply upon check out.
*Note: If you are creating this discount for a contract that is already in use and active, it is important to note that it will be applied to current renewals if the user segment is set to 'Everyone'.
Under Discounted Orders per Customer, enter in '1' indicating that only ONE interval should be discounted.
