Some companies offer specials or "coupons" for certain programs. You may want to offer an Early Bird Special when signing up for a class or any other kind of special. You can also use Program Discounts and/or Individual Account Discounts.

NOTE: Currently, Coupon Codes are only available in percentages

Enrollsy allows you to attach ONE Coupon Code to any program. Customers can only put in one Coupon Code at a time in Enrollment. However, you CAN do a combo using two discounts at once.

How Coupon Codes Work

The coupon code is a percentage off the total amount due (currently Coupon Codes are only available in percentages). The system automatically divides the total amount due between the payments set up in a Payment Plan. Customers will get that percentage off what’s due at enrollment and on any Payment Plan they choose.

NOTE: If an amount of a coupon code is edited AFTER someone has used it to enroll and they have one or more Payment Plans, you will have to manually edit their individual Payment Plans.

How to Create a Coupon Code

Step 1 - Find the Program

Head to the Programs page and click on the Program editor (pencil icon) beside the Program you want to add a Coupon Code to.
