Discount Codes
For any form, section, or individual payment item, you can create a custom code that will apply a discount to the price.
Discount Code Behavior and Application
- Discount Codes can only be applied to fixed price items, and not open amount items.
- Discount types are: percentage (i.e. 25%), relative amount (i.e.-$25), or absolute amount (i.e. price = $25).
- They can be applied at the Form, Section, and Item Levels.
- Form Level effect the total amount to paid through the form.
- Section Level effects the total amount of the section.
- Item Level effect the price of a single Payment item.
- A "Discount Code Field" must be added to the form where the code will be input.
- At the Form and Section levels, there is a setting labeled "Apply discount to individual sections/items?" Turning this setting on allows relative discounts to be applied to each section or item in the section that meets the discount code minimum amount.
- For example, with the setting applied at the form level, a relative discount of -$10 will be applied to each section with a total price of $10 or more; with the box unchecked the relative discount would only be applied once to the form total.
- This setting is only relevant for relative discounts and does not affect an absolute or percent discount.
