Discounts guide: codes and automatic discounts
With Discounts you can lower the price of your products, your bookable services and your subscription tiers. They're great for promotions, special dates or rewarding your community.
You can open it at esponsor.com/discounts.
Two ways to discount
| Type | How it works |
|---|---|
| Discount code | You create a word, for example SUMMER20. Anyone who types it at checkout gets the discount. |
| Automatic discount | It applies on its own, no code needed. Your page shows the original price crossed out next to the discounted price. |
If a product has an automatic discount and someone also uses a code, the automatic one wins.
How to create a discount
- Tap Create discount.
- Choose where it applies: Shop (products and services), Schedule (bookable services, and tickets if you have them) or Subscriptions (your tiers).
- Choose Discount code or Automatic discount. If it uses a code, type the Discount code.
- Fill in the options (explained below).
- Check the Summary and tap Create.
Discount options
How much you take off:
- Percentage: takes a % off the price.
- Quantity: takes a fixed amount off.
There's a minimum discount, which you'll see on the form. For now, 100% discounts can't be used on subscription tiers.
Duration (subscription tiers only): choose whether the discount lasts for the First month only, Several months (you choose how many) or Forever. After that, the person pays their tier's regular price.
Usage limits (optional):
- Maximum redemptions: how many times the discount can be used in total.
- By date: the day the discount stops working. It uses the time zone shown on the form.
If you don't set any limits, the discount works until you deactivate or delete it.
Applies to: choose whether it's valid for the whole shop or all tiers, or only for the products or tiers you pick.
An automatic discount for the whole shop or all tiers takes priority over discounts for specific products or tiers. If a product or tier already has an active automatic discount, you can't add it to a new discount.
Share your discount
In your list of discounts, tap a discount to see its details. There you can:
- Copy the code, if it's a code discount.
- Copy link for each product or tier in the discount. Anyone who comes in through that link already has the discount applied, without typing the code.
Share the link on social media, in an email or in your Link in Bio.
Manage your discounts
Your list shows each discount with its Name, Status (Active or Inactive), Type (Automatic or Code) and Uses, meaning how many times it's been used.
- Edit: change its options. You can also activate or deactivate the discount without deleting it.
- Delete: the discount stops working for new purchases.
Deactivating or deleting a discount only affects new redemptions. If someone already subscribed with a discount, they keep it on their renewals for the duration you chose.
Ideas for your discounts
- A code for your followers on one social network, so you know where your sales come from.
- A limited-time automatic discount for dates like Black Friday or Christmas.
- A discounted first month on your subscription tier, so more people try it.
