Report Overview

Active Discounts Overview

The Active Discounts report is a simple list of discounts attached to at least one booking.

From the Active Discounts report, you can add new discounts, view how many bookings each discount has been applied to, see when the discount was last used, and view the total revenue used with each discount.

Discounts associated with Void, Pre-booking, or Cancelled bookings are excluded.
If a discount has not yet been used, it does not appear as part of this report.

Be sure to give your discounts descriptive names to help you find them in internal reports, for example, Summer Promo 10% Per Booking, After Tax.
