Reports overview
Back to topThe Promotions report is a simple view into voucher usage.
From the Promotions report, you can + Add Vouchers, view if and when a voucher has been used, and access the associated booking.
|
Be sure to give your vouchers and all discounts descriptive names to help you find them in internal reports, for example, Summer Promo 10% Per Booking, After Tax. |
|
While the Promotions report does not show individual voucher values, a tip is to include the discounted value in the title of the voucher. As well, if you use items instead of products, then the Active Discounts report is an option to cross-reference discount and voucher values. |
