Why is it useful?

MeetMax Discount Codes work like the ones you’re likely used to using online.

Once you’ve created a Discount Code, MeetMax invoices will have a Discount Code field.

An Attendee can enter their Discount Code to change the invoice total:

You can place as many controls on a Discount Code as you need. If you’re worried about a code being shared widely, you can limit:

• The number of times it can be redeemed
• The invoice items it applies to
• The amount of time it’s active

You can create as many Discount Codes as you need.

Creating a general Discount Code

In this example, we’ll create a simple promotional code - 15% off registration. We’ll give this code an expiration date.

Step 1. Head to the Configure tab. Choose Reg Types/Options, then Discounts:

Step 2. The Add Discount form has a few required fields, and many optional ones. Feel free to use only the criteria you need.

The top section has these fields:

  • Discount code: The public code you’ll give to your Attendees. It’s not case-sensitive.

  • Type: You can set a Fixed Amount, or a Percentage. Once you choose one of these, enter its amount.

  • Apply discount to: We’re applying this discount to the invoice total. You can also have it apply only to specific items. (See the section below for details.)

Step 3. In the Criteria section of the form, you can set optional limits:

  • Limit usage: You can set a maximum number of times this discount can be redeemed. If you’re creating a discount code for one person, set this to 1. If you want to offer a discount to the first 10 registrants, you can set the limit to 10 and give the code to as many people as you like.

  • Minimum: This setting lets you limit the discount to specific registration levels. You can set a minimum invoice amount, and the discount code will only work on invoices at or above this amount.

  • Start and End Date: Use this setting to make a limited-time discount code. If an Attendee registers for your event but doesn’t pay until after this end date, the discount won’t apply.

Step 4. Click Submit to save the code.

Creating a Discount Code with conditions

Sometimes, you’ll want a Discount Code that only applies to specific parts of a registration.

In this example, our event has a standard registration price and a discounted Early Bird price. We’re setting up a 15% discount, but we only want it to apply to the standard registration fee.

Step 1. Head to the Configure tab. Choose Reg Types/Options, then Discounts:

Step 2. Fill out the Add Discount form, as shown in the section above.

In the Apply discount to field, choose Charges matching conditions below.

In the Conditions section, choose the Registration Types and/or Options this discount can apply to:

Use the + button to add more conditions as needed. You can set a Discount Code to apply to multiple Registration Types and Options, or only one as we’ve done here.
