- Define the Promo Code Name
- Enter a Name for Internal Use: Input a name that will help you recognize the purpose of the promo code (e.g., “Spring Sale” or “New Client Discount”). This name will not be visible to clients, serving only as an internal label for organization.

- Enter Discount Amount: Define the percentage discount the code will apply, allowing you to set the exact reduction for eligible bookings.
- Choose the Eligible Client
- Select Client Email: If this promo code is intended for a specific client, select their email from the list. This feature helps you target certain clients with exclusive discounts, supporting personalized promotions.
- Limit Promo Code by Setup
- Select Eligible Setup(s): Choose which setups the promo code will apply to. This ensures that discounts are only available on specific configurations or services, helping you manage the code’s applicability.

Tips for Optimizing Promo Codes
- Run Seasonal Promotions: Use promo codes for seasonal events (e.g., “Spring Sale”) to drive bookings during slower periods or encourage specific services.

- Track Usage Data: Regularly review promo code usage to understand which promotions resonate most with clients, guiding future campaigns.
