Overview of Using Coupon Codes in Calendars

Coupon Codes in Calendars let customers enter a discount code during booking on the booking widget. When a valid code is applied, the widget recalculates the price in real time and the appointment record shows an itemized Discount (Coupon) line in the Payments Tab. You control coupon rules with controls including percentage or fixed amount, validity windows, usage limits, and eligibility by product or calendar.

Key Benefits of Using Coupon Codes in Calendars

Coupons help you smoothly and easily run targeted promotions:

Higher Conversion: Timely discounts reduce checkout friction and cart abandonment.
Flexible promotions: Use percentage-based or fixed-amount discounts for seasonal or limited campaigns.
Control & Targeting: Limit redemptions per contact or overall ensuring a coupon is not over-used
Better Customer Experience: Customers can apply/remove a code directly in the booking widget with immediate price updates.

Supported Calendars & Limitations

Coupon codes are fully supported across all calendars for both the Neo and Classic booking widgets, as well as for Services (v2).
Coupon codes are not supported with the older Service Menu (v1). We strongly recommend moving to Services (v2) for a more modern booking flow, ongoing support, and access to features such as coupon codes.
Coupon codes are only available through the booking widget and cannot be applied to appointments created manually via the in-app modal. Support for this functionality is planned for a future release.

How to Use Coupon Codes in Calendars

Step 1: Enable 'Accept Payments' and 'Coupon Codes' in Calendar

Before creating coupons, make sure payments are enabled on your calendar.

Go to Calendar Settings > Forms & Payments.
Enable Accept Payments.
- Once enabled, a Product is automatically created in your Products Tab with a Calendar tag (this product cannot be deleted).
Scroll further down and enable Enable Coupon Code option.
- This will add a coupon input field to your booking widget.

Note: You must enable coupons individually for each calendar where you want them active.

Step 2: Create a Coupon

Navigate to Payments Module > Coupons and click New Coupon.

You’ll see the following options:

Coupon Code: Enter a custom code (e.g., 10OFF) or click Generate to auto-create one.
Coupon Type: Choose between:
- Percentage Coupon (e.g., 10% off).
- Fixed Amount Coupon (e.g., $50 off).
Discount Offered: Enter the percentage or fixed discount value.
Start & End Date/Time: Define the coupon validity window.
Limit Redemptions: (Optional) Restrict how many times the coupon can be used overall.
Limit to Products/Offers: Select specific calendars or products where the coupon will apply.
Limit to One Use Per Customer: Prevents multiple uses by the same customer.

Once saved, the coupon is ready to share with your customers.

When booking via the calendar widget, customers will see a Coupon Code input box.
If the code is valid:
- The discount is applied instantly.

If invalid:
- An error message appears.

Step 4: Tracking Coupon Usage

All coupon and payment details are visible in the Payments Tab of the Appointment Modal:

Discount amount.
Adjusted total.
Attendee-level breakdown of payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I see the discount after booking?
Open the appointment and check the Payments tab. You’ll see Discount (Coupon), Amount Paid, and Remaining Balance totals.

Q: Can I edit or disable a coupon after it goes live?
Yes. Open the coupon in Payments > Coupons to update limits/dates or disable it. Changes affect future bookings.

Q: How can I test a coupon without charging a real card?
Set the calendar’s Payment Mode to Test, complete a test booking using your gateway’s test credentials (e.g., Stripe test cards), then switch back to Live when you’re done.

Q: Can customers stack more than one coupon on a single booking?
No. Only one active code per checkout is supported. Customers can remove a code and apply a different one before paying.

Q: Are coupon codes case-sensitive?
Codes are not case-sensitive. For example; if a coupon code is 'SUMMER25' and a customer enters in 'Summer25', the coupon will apply.
