Promotions and Discount Codes
Build discount codes and promotions that can be used by attendees while they are buying tickets or registering for your events.
Event organizers choose Event Espresso for accepting event registrations for conferences, classes, workshops, seminars, and more.
Use the Promotions and Discount Codes extension to add promo codes for your attendees to use.
Here are examples of promotions that you can create for your events:
– A percentage based discount (e.g., save 15% with a discount code)
– A flat amount discount (e.g., save $10 with this discount code)
– A discount that is available for a limited amount of time
Promotions can also be restricted by a date range, limited by usage for an event, or limited to specific events.
And here are some ideas on how to use promotions with your events:
– Share a promotion code on social media to encourage early registrations for an upcoming event
– Allow partners like speakers and sponsors to register for your event at a reduced rate
– Share a promotion code with your email list
– Grant your staff the option to provide a limited amount of complimentary registrations
– Reward your most loyal attendees by inviting them to register for future events with a discount
Enter a discount code during registration checkout
A confirmation message is shown when a promotion code is activated
An attendee will see the discount code in the checkout summary

The best event plugin system we have used! We just closed registration for a girls/ladies conference at our church next month. This year we have over 400 registrants and only a few were mail-ins. Everyone else registered on our website, which is running Event Espresso 4. We had to close registration early because we are at capacity! We had fewer duplicate registrations this year than in years past using other software. We also received a lot of compliments on the “new system”. Registrants stated that it was much easier to use than in previous years.

Frequently asked questions about the Promotions and Discount Codes extension
Is a WordPress website required?
Event Espresso and the Promotions and Discounts extension are both plugins for WordPress so you’ll need a website running WordPress to use them. If you don’t currently have a website, then take a look at Event Smart where you can use event registration software with promotions and discount codes for your event registrations.
What kind of promotions can I create?
You can create a flat discount (e.g., save $10 with this discount code) or a percentage based discount (e.g., save 15% by using this promotion code) and assign them to your events. These promotions can then be restricted with conditions such as a limited number of uses and start/expiry dates.
Are there specific discount conditions that are not yet available?
These conditions are not yet available:
– Apply a promo code to a specific ticket or registration option
– Automatically trigger a discount when certain events are added to the event shopping cart
Can I offer an early bird registration option in Event Espresso?
Yes, here is a video tutorial on how to set up an early bird ticket or registration option in Event Espresso.
Can I get a report to show the performance of the promotions?

This report includes information collected from an attendee including payment confirmation information and promotion details. The report can be created in a few clicks from your WordPress dashboard (WP-admin) through the button at the end of the Registrations overview screen.
