Discounts and voucher codes overview
Back to topView of the Discounts list for those using our classic version with items.
From time to time, you offer your Customers discounts. That might be in the form of a public discount code displayed in your advertising. When the Customer enters that code at checkout, the applicable discount is applied to their total.
Alternatively, you may create a one-time use voucher code for a particular Customer.
Either way, you can achieve this with Checkfront!
Comparing discount codes to voucher codes
Back to topWith this feature, you can reduce the price of an item at the time of booking by supplying a unique discount or voucher code.
What is a discount code?
You may use a discount code for general promotions or to track campaigns and referrals. They are also used for creating general date discounts such as weekend specials. Discount codes may be used in your advertising and redeemed multiple times by multiple Customers.
What is a voucher?
Vouchers redeem purchased deals from syndication sites such as Groupon and Living Social (see Using Groupon vouchers with Checkfront). These codes are added to the system via an imported CSV file and are only redeemed once. You may also use a voucher code to reward preferred Customers with a one-time use special discount.
