Discount

A Discount is a monetary reduction to fees or items when a user meets specific criteria set by the school. Discounts are commonly applied to registrations, summer camps, the online store, and lunch programs.

Example: A school may offer an early bird discount to students who register for classes or activities before a specified date.

Discounts are classified as Products in the system. Therefore, they are created in a similar method as any other Product. Note: When creating a discount product, select the Product Type to “Discount.” Note: Discount products can be grouped into a Product Category such as “Summer School Discounts.”

Amount specifies the discount amount. This should be entered as a negative value if you select either a fixed or percent discount type in the “Discount by” field.

Discount by:

- Discount Applied to Each Eligible Product subtracts the listed amount from each eligible product. For example, if a student registers for three eligible classes with a $50 discount, the total discount will be $150.
- Total Discount Amount subtracts the listed amount once, provided the number of eligible product criteria is met. For example, if the amount is $50 and the student signs up for three eligible classes, the discount will be $50 total.
- Percent Applied to Each Eligible Product subtracts the listed percentage from each eligible product. For example, a 10% discount applied to three classes will discount each class by 10%.
- Total Percent subtracts the listed percentage once if eligibility criteria are met. For example, a 10% total percent discount applied to three classes will discount the total amount by 10%.
- Product Overwrite Amount replaces the product amount with the listed value. For example, if the Product Overwrite Amount is $50, the student pays $50 for each eligible class.

Is Stackable Discount indicates whether the discount can be combined with other discounts. If both discounts are stackable, both will apply. If one discount is not stackable, only the discount with the higher priority will apply.

Once Per Day limits the discount to being applied once per day.

Discount Order determines the sequence in which multiple discounts are applied. For example, if a 10% discount has a lower order than a $20 discount, the system first applies the 10% discount, then subtracts $20 from the remaining balance.

Pay In Full indicates that the discount can only be applied if the user pays the full amount at the time of purchase.

Expiration Date is the last date the discount can be applied. This is often used for discounts with deadlines, such as early bird discounts.

Must have at least # eligible product(s) selected defines the minimum number of eligible products required for the discount to apply. This is typically used when discounts depend on the number of classes a student enrolls in.

Restricted defines whether the discount can be applied once per student or once per family.

Requires Waiver Code indicates that a waiver code must be provided for the discount to be applied.

Note: For non-stackable discounts, the “Percent Applied to Each Eligible Product” and “Total Percent” will calculate to the same amount. For stackable discounts, “Total Percent” applies to the discounted amount after previous discounts, while “Percent Applied to Each Eligible Product” applies to the original amount.

Example: If a class costs $100 and two 10% stackable discounts apply:

- With “Percent Applied to Each Eligible Product,” both discounts will subtract $10 each.
- With “Total Percent,” the first discount subtracts $10, and the second discount subtracts $9 (10% of the remaining $90).
