Create a promo code

  1. Click the Create New button
  2. Fill out the Promo Code form—with the form you can:
  • Choose a promo code name
  • Choose whether your discount is a percentage of the cost or a specific dollar amount
  • Choose which tickets or registrations your code applies to
  • Set the promotional period for your promo code
  • Limit the number of redeemable codes or make them unlimited
  1. Click the Save & Create New button to save your promo code and create another one
  2. Or, you can click Save Promo to save your promo code and return to your promo code settings

How promo codes affect campaign totals:

The discounted amount will appear in your campaign's progress metrics. For example, if a ticket is discounted to $50 from and original price of $100, a $50 purchase will display in your campaign totals. 

How promo codes relate to fair market value:

The chosen Fair Market Value/Event Costs of a ticket or registration will not adjust with a promo code, even if a percentage is chosen. If a promo code is applied to a ticket or registration that is more than the tax-deductible amount, the promo will deduct from the donation portion first and the event costs second.

Example: If you have a $100 ticket and $40 is the fair market value, that would make the donation portion of the ticket $60. A promo code for $50 would leave a donor with $10 as the tax deductible amount.

How promo code quantities work:

The limit refers to the total number of times the promo code can be redeemed overall.

Example: If you set a limit of 4, the code can be used for up to 4 total discounted registrations. This can be across 4 separate transactions or one transaction with 4 registrants.
