  The ability to create discounts for specific events Reply Quote I want a way to limit discounts to events.  For example, students get 10% off our annual conference and that is it.  I don't want to give them 10% of membership, meals, etc, but there seems to be no way to do this.   Also not all stand alone programs may provide a student member.  Therefore I would like to be able to restrict the events like I can the membership levels now.

  Re: The ability to create discounts for specific events Reply Quote FYI - currently there are no discounts for events but there is a way to create specially priced registration types - 'event coupon codes'. See http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Event+coupon+codes Our thinking for the future is to create universal discount codes which can be restricted to certain areas.   Dmitry Buterin, Chief Apricot

No need in special discount coupons.   Evgeny Product Design Team

  Re: The ability to create discounts for specific events Reply Quote Well yes and no.   In my case I have one day, two day and three day registration rates for both members and non-members.  Then I have early bird and late registration.  I want to offer students a discount on registration so in order to do that without a discount I would need to duplicate all those registration types with the student discounts.   So I end up with  3 reg categories X 2 membership types (yes or no) X 2 times spans (early or late) X 2 Student categories (yes or no)   So now I need to create 24 levels of registrations... and there is no duplicate registration type, SO I have to create them by hand and it confuses my members when I am done.   Event based discounts would really simplify this situation.

  Re: The ability to create discounts for specific events Reply Quote That makes sense, thank you for more details. What if instead of having 3 registration types for 1, 2 or 3 day rates you create it as "extra-cost" with 3 radiooptions? This would reduce total number of reg types to 4.  And I also think if we make a change in the system and allow to have "extra-cost" value to be negative, can it work as discount? In your case there could be additional "extra-cost" checkbox like "I'm student" which gives a certain amount of discount. I would be glad to hear your comments.   Evgeny Product Design Team

We have so many levels of registration for our events since we offer discounts to many partner groups. If we could set up ONE registration and have them click options say 10% discount for members of X group, that is great! We would ask that there be a way to enable the discount with a code so that it is not open to everyone! Meagan
