The BookingPress – Advanced Discount Addon is a premium extension for the BookingPress plugin for WordPress. BookingPress itself is a powerful booking and appointment scheduling plugin, and the Advanced Discount Addon allows you to set up and manage complex discounting rules for your bookings. This addon is especially useful for businesses that offer promotions, seasonal discounts, or price adjustments based on specific booking conditions. With this feature, you can attract more customers by offering discounts under certain circumstances, like early bookings, group discounts, or limited-time offers.

Key Features of BookingPress – Advanced Discount Addon:

1. Multiple Discount Types:
   • The addon allows you to create various types of discounts, such as percentage-based discounts or fixed amount discounts. You can offer discounts based on the total booking amount or for specific products/services.
2. Discount Based on Time and Date:
   • You can configure discounts that are only available for specific time periods or dates, such as a weekend special, early bird discount, or seasonal promotion. This helps in managing discounts that are time-sensitive or based on peak/off-peak hours.
3. Discount on First Booking:
   • Offer a special discount for first-time customers or users who book for the first time. This can help in attracting new clients and encouraging them to make a booking.
4. Fixed or Percentage Discounts:
   • You can set discounts as a fixed price (e.g., $10 off) or as a percentage (e.g., 10% off). This flexibility lets you tailor discounts according to your pricing strategy.
5. Minimum/Maximum Booking Criteria:
   • You can apply discounts only if certain criteria are met, such as a minimum booking value, specific number of bookings, or for group bookings. This ensures discounts are only applied when the conditions align with your business goals.
6. Discount for Specific Services or Products:
   • If you offer multiple services, packages, or products, you can create discounts for specific ones. For example, you can provide a discount on a particular service or a bundle of services.
7. Custom Discount Rules:
   • Create customized discount rules for different scenarios. For example, offering a discount to users who book multiple sessions, book during off-peak hours, or book in advance.
8. User Role-Based Discounts:
   • Apply discounts based on user roles, such as giving special offers for VIP clients, regular customers, or certain membership types.
9. Coupons and Promo Codes:
   • You can create promo codes that customers can enter during checkout for a discount. This is a great way to run marketing campaigns and promote your services.
10. Automatic Application of Discounts:
    • Discounts can be automatically applied based on the conditions you set, reducing the need for customers to manually enter discount codes.
11. Display Discounts on the Booking Page:
    • Discounts applied to the booking will be clearly visible on the booking page, making it easy for customers to see how much they are saving before completing their booking.
12. Discounts on Multiple Bookings:
    • Offer discounts when customers book multiple appointments or services, encouraging them to book more at once.
13. Comprehensive Reports:
    • The addon may also offer reports or analytics on how much revenue has been generated from discounted bookings, allowing you to track the effectiveness of your promotions.

Ideal Use Cases:

• Service-Based Businesses: If you run a salon, spa, coaching service, or any other service-based business, you can offer discounts on appointments for specific services or packages.
• Travel & Tourism: Travel agencies or tour operators can provide discounts for group bookings, early reservations, or off-peak periods.
• Fitness Studios & Gyms: Fitness centers or personal trainers can offer discounts for multiple sessions, yearly memberships, or first-time customers.
• Event Booking: Event venues or event organizers can provide discounts for bulk bookings or for early bird reservations.

Benefits of Using the Advanced Discount Addon:

• Attract More Customers: Offering discounts is a proven strategy to attract more clients, and this addon helps you implement that effectively.
• Flexibility: You can create a wide range of discount rules to suit your business needs, whether it’s time-based discounts, loyalty discounts, or one-time promotional offers.
• Boost Customer Loyalty: Offering discounts for repeat customers or VIP clients helps you keep your customers coming back.
• Easy to Use: The addon integrates with the BookingPress plugin, which means you can set up discounts easily without any complicated configurations.
• Increase Sales: By encouraging larger bookings or earlier reservations with discounts, you can boost sales and improve cash flow.

How It Works:

1. Set Discount Rules: In the BookingPress settings, you define the discount rules. You can choose the discount type (fixed amount or percentage), apply it to specific services, set a date range, or establish a minimum booking value.
2. Discount Visibility: When a customer books a service that meets the criteria, the discount is automatically applied, and the savings are displayed on the booking page.
3. Checkout Process: If you’ve set up promo codes or coupons, customers can enter these codes during checkout to redeem discounts. Otherwise, the system will apply the discount automatically based on your rules.
4. Track Results: Monitor the effectiveness of your discounts through reports, and adjust your strategies as needed.
