Frequently asked questions

Can I create multiple discount codes?

Yes, you can create unlimited discount codes per property. Create different codes for different campaigns — welcome-back codes for returning guests, seasonal promos, social media exclusives, last-minute deals, and referral codes. Each code tracks its own usage and performance independently.

Do guests have to type the code manually?

No. Each discount code generates a shareable link that auto-applies the code at checkout. When guests click the link, the discount is already applied — no typing needed. Guests can also enter codes manually if they prefer.

Can I limit how many times a code is used?

Yes. You can set max uses, expiry dates, and minimum night requirements on any discount code. For example, create a code that works only 50 times, expires after 30 days, and requires a minimum 3-night stay.

Does the discount affect fees like cleaning?

No. Discounts apply only to the nightly rate subtotal. Cleaning fee, taxes, and processing fees are separate and unaffected by discount codes. This ensures your fixed costs are always covered.

What happens if a code expires during checkout?

The code is re-validated at payment time. If expired, the guest sees a clear error message and pays the full price. Codes are never honored past their expiry — even if the guest started checkout before expiration.

Can I see which bookings used a discount code?

Yes. Every booking shows the code used, discount type (percentage or fixed), and amount saved in your admin panel. You can track which codes drive the most bookings and calculate your total promotional spend.
