  • Apply a coupon discount as part of a promotion at the time of sale either in the Shopping Cart or in Checkout.
  • Set a one-time discount to be applied to an upcoming payment.
  • Override the price so that it doesn’t show up on your client’s invoice as a discount.

How discounted passes and plans affect staff pay rates

When a staff pay rate is defined as a percent of the price that the client has paid and the client visit is paid for by a pass or plan that was sold at a discount, the discount is applied directly to the staff member’s pay rate. Because computing a per-visit price isn’t possible for an unlimited plan, staff pay is based on the single-visit price of the service paid by an unlimited plan.

It’s important to pay attention to how your discount and pay rate settings work together:

Discount and pay rate settings Client discount Staff pay rate set at Staff earns
$ discount with % base pay $20 off $100 visit ($80) 50% of visit $40 for visit
% discount with % base pay 50% of $100 visit ($50) 50% of visit $25 for visit
$ discount with fixed base pay $80 off $100 visit ($20) $40 per visit $40 for visit
% discount with fixed base pay 50% of $100 visit ($50) $40 per visit $40 per visit
Discount on unlimited plan (single-visit price: $20) ($20) 50% per visit $10 (regardless of total plan price)
