Creating Promo Codes

Create custom promo codes to offer discounts or credits

Updated over a week ago

Promo codes are a great way to offer discounts or provide account credits instead of refunds! You can create as many promo codes as you’d like, each with its own unique name and flexible expiration dates, tailored to the packages you offer.

Feel free to share these promo codes with travelers to help lower the subtotal of their orders. They can easily apply the codes at checkout during registration or in their traveler portal.

Promo Code Settings:

  • Unique names for each code

  • Limited quantities available for added excitement

  • Custom activation and expiration dates to fit your needs

  • Conditional requirements for specific trips or packages


How Do Promo Codes Work

Promo Code is one of the best ways you can do to incentivize bookings and reward your loyal customers.

There are two types of promo codes that can be created:

  • Percentage Promo Code: This will reduce the subtotal by the percentage discount. It can only be applied at checkout during registration.

    • If a percentage promo code is applied, it will reduce the subtotal balance.

    • If the traveler is paying the processing fees, the fees will be calculated based on the discounted subtotal.

  • Specific Amount Promo Codes: This will reduce the subtotal by the indicated fixed amount. It can be applied at check out during registration or in their traveler account after purchase.
