Settings for Code and Bulk Discounts
There are two main types of discounts within Ludus: Code and Bulk. Explore the drop-downs below to learn more about each type and the various settings and options for each.
Code discounts are a code that patrons or admins can plug in during checkout to have a percentage or flat amount taken off items or an entire order. Multiple settings can be used in conjunction with each other to create a discount that works the way you'd like.
Settings and Terms:
- Code - The code that patrons or admins will use to receive the discount.
- Amount - The percentage or flat amount that the discount will remove. Flat amounts can be set to be per item (ticket or fee) or on the overall order.
- Event Times/Class Times - The times to which the discount applies. Set to all times by default.
- Tickets/Fees Limit - Limit how many tickets/fees the discount can be applied to. Can be set per patron or total.
- Usage Per Patron - Limit how many times a patron can use the code. This is different from a Ticket Limit. For instance, entering "2" here would mean that a patron can use the code on two orders before it is no longer valid for them.
- Inventory - Total number of times a code can be used (regardless of the patron) before expiring.
- Price Types - A limit to which prices the discount can apply to.
- Apply to Add-Ons - Whether or not this discount applies to any Add-Ons with the order.
- Auto-Apply - Have this discount code automatically apply based on the email domain or pass holder. Suggested Article: Auto-apply discounts
- Buy X, Get X - A discount that requires the purchase of a certain amount to receive a certain amount off on others.
- Minimum Tickets/Fees - A minimum number of tickets/fees must be in the cart before the code will apply. If the discount only applies to one event time the count must be met for that event time.
- Availability - An automation for when the discount is available for use. IE - If the discount is available only for a "flash sale".
Bulk discounts automatically grant a percentage or flat amount off once requirements are met. There is no need for patrons to insert a code, as the discount applies as soon as their cart hits the set minimums.
Settings and Terms:
- Amount - The percentage or flat amount that the discount will remove. Flat amounts can be set to be per item (ticket or fee) or on the overall order.
- Bulk Amount - The item and amount of that item that needs to be in the cart for the bulk discount to automatically apply.
- Tickets/Fees - Individual tickets (or fees for classes) are selected by the patron
- Events/Classes - The number of separate events in the cart at one time
- Event/Class Times - The number of separate times for an event/class in the cart at one time.
- Event/Class Time - The event time for which this bulk discount functions. The default will be all times.
- Price Type Limit - Set which price type has to be selected for this bulk discount to apply.
- Apply to Add-Ons - Whether or not this discount applies to any Add-Ons with the order.
- Availability - An automation for when the discount is available for use. IE - If the discount is available only for a "flash sale".
Note - You currently cannot have 2 bulk discounts set up for an event. (IE, $4 off on Saturday and then $4 off on Sunday). The first discount set up like this for one event time will work, but the second event time set up like this will not currently work. We recommend a code global discount in this situation. There is an update for this on our roadmap!
Note - The Availability setting on discounts is not available on Pass Discounts.
