How to Add and Manage a Discount Code in ScheduleDrop

This article walks you through how to create a new discount code, configure its parameters, and manage existing codes within your ScheduleDrop account.

Written by Sam Arnold

Accessing Discount Codes

To access the Discount Codes section:

  1. Click Bookings in the main navigation.

  2. Select Discount Codes from the drop-down menu.

This will bring you to the Discount Codes page, where you can view existing codes and create new ones.

Creating a Discount Code

To create a new discount code, click Add Discount. This will open the discount code configuration form, where you will define each of the following parameters.

Code Name

Enter a name for your discount code. This is the code your customers will enter at checkout to redeem the discount. For example, you might name a summer promotion "SUMMER25."

Discount Type

Select the type of discount this code will apply:

  • Percentage — A percentage is deducted from the booking total (for example, 25% off).

  • Fixed Amount — A set dollar amount is deducted from the booking total.

Enter the corresponding value based on the discount type selected.

Limitations

The Limitations section controls when your discount code is active and how often it can be used.

Expiration

  • Toggle the Never Ending switch on if you want the code to remain valid indefinitely.

  • If the code should expire, set a start date and end date.

Valid Days

Select the specific days of the week on which the discount code can be redeemed. For example, you may choose to limit the code to weekends only, or allow it to be used every day of the week.

Maximum Usages

Control how many times the discount code can be redeemed:

  • Leave the Limit Total Usage toggle off to allow unlimited uses.

  • Toggle the switch on and enter a number to cap the total number of redemptions.

Customer Eligibility

Select which customers are eligible to use the discount code:

  • New Customers Only

  • Existing Customers Only

  • All Customers

Booking Type

Specify which types of bookings the discount applies to:

  • One-Time Bookings Only — The code applies exclusively to one-time bookings.

  • Recurring Bookings Only — The code applies exclusively to recurring bookings.

  • Both — The code applies to both one-time and recurring bookings.

Recurring Booking Parameters

If you select Recurring Bookings Only or Both, you can further refine how the discount applies to recurring bookings:

  • Apply to all recurring bookings.

  • Apply to the first recurring booking only.

  • Apply to a specific number of bookings in the series (for example, the next five bookings).

When applying the code to a set number of bookings, any bookings beyond that count will not receive the discount.

Booking Form

Select which booking forms the discount code applies to. If you want the code to apply to all booking forms, leave this section empty.

Service Area

Select which service areas the discount code applies to. If you want the code to apply across all service areas, leave this section empty.

Saving the Code

Once all parameters are configured, click Create Discount Code at the bottom of the form. The new code will appear in your Discount Codes list as an active code.

Managing Existing Discount Codes

To manage an existing discount code, click the three dots to the right of the code in your list. You will have the following options:

  • Edit — You can update the name of the discount code, the booking forms it applies to, and the service areas it applies to. Other parameters, such as discount type, limitations, and customer eligibility, cannot be modified after creation.

  • Duplicate — Create a copy of the existing code, which you can then adjust as needed.

  • Delete — Permanently remove the discount code from your account.

Note: Because most parameters cannot be edited after a discount code is created, we recommend reviewing all settings carefully before saving. If you need to make significant changes, duplicate the existing code and create a new version with the updated parameters.
