You can set up an Early Bird Discount in Groovio by using Discount Codes to give students a reduced rate when they sign up for a course class before a term starts. This discount can apply to classes, products, memberships, packages, or any other items you select.
Steps to Set Up an Early Bird Discount
Go to Discount Codes in your dashboard.
Click on Create New Code in the top right of the page.
Enter the name of the discount, such as “Early Bird Offer – Term # YEAR.”
Select the discount type as Promotional Code.
Enter a unique code for students to use, like “EARLY424.”
Add a description, such as “Early Bird offer eligible until the end of week 7.”
Set the Expiry Date to the last Sunday of week 7 (or any date you choose to end the early bird period).
Limit of Overall Count: Leave blank if there’s no limit on usage.
Limit of Use Per Student: Set to “1” so each student can only use the code once.
Choose either a Monetary Amount ($) or Percentage (%) for the discount, then enter the discount amount.
Under Classes, select all course classes that are eligible for the early bird discount.
Click Confirm & Create Discount to save.
Note: You’ll need to create a new code for each term, as discount codes are term-specific.
Alternative Option: Using Multi-Course Discount Rules
If you want the system to automatically apply discounts for students who book multiple courses within the same term, consider using Multi-Course Discount Rules. This setup allows Groovio to apply discounts automatically, without requiring a discount code.

This option may be ideal if you’re looking to offer additional discounts to students booking multiple courses in one term, as it simplifies the process and applies discounts automatically.
Using either the Early Bird Discount Code or Multi-Course Discount Rules ensures flexibility in your studio’s discount offerings, allowing you to cater to various student needs and booking preferences.
