Hi there,

You could start with the Promotions and discounts add-on and use that to build on top of. The add-on does have features that allow for limiting promo code usage. So for example if you create a promo code discount and set it to apply to one event, and set its limit to 5, someone could book a ticket 5 different times and after 5 the discount will no longer apply. You can also set the discount code to apply to any event as well.

There’s more information about the Promotions add-on in the documentation:

Can I easily create promo code with EE Api ? Cause in this example I have to create a discount code (with a limit set to 5) each time a user buy my fidelity card.

You can create a new promotion using the models, a promotion needs a price object attached to it, so it’s not as simple as just creating a new row, but it’s not all that difficult either.

You’d need to dig into how the promotions add-on creates new promo’s and basically copy that on the hook you use.

Can I apply unlimited promo code to an event ?

Do you mean apply multiple promotions codes during checkout or set multiple promotions that apply to an event?

And Can I do that by ticket ?

The promotions system does not currently support setting promotions on tickets, only events.

I was meaning can I on the system create 10 or 100 or 100 000 coupons ? (I dream bigger)

In that case, there’s no limit within EE on how many promotions you create.

But I’m interested by the question can I “set multiple promotions that apply to an event” ?

As long as a promotion is not set as ‘exclusive’ you can use more than one promotion on an event at any one time, if a user has 2 promo codes, one for say $5 off and another for $10 off, they could use both together.

Is it something that can be develop on the futur by EventEspresso ? Just to know if I have to develop my own solution

We do have plans to add a ticket ‘scope’ to promotions:

However, we are currently working on other feature so it’s not something we will be introducing ‘soon’.
