Hi, I just installed EE4 but do not see the option to add promotional codes anywhere. Am I missing something, how do I activate this setting? Thanks.

Hi bmenard,

Yes, you missed that promotion codes are not yet part of EE4. That functionality will be available at a later time (no announcements at yet).

However, with EE4 you can do some different discounting which may meet your needs? https://eventespresso.com/features/multiple-ticket-pricing-options/

You can setup tiered pricing based on the quantity of tickets you allow them to purchase. You can have multiple tickets like an Early-bird discount that expires at a certain time (or multiple Early-bird tickets).

What are you trying to do specifically? Do you have to have promotion codes themselves, or are you trying to offer discounts?

If you have to have discount codes then we’d recommend using EE3. It looks as if you have a EE4 personal license so if you need to use EE3 instead, please contact the sales team and they can help you pay the difference and get onto EE3: https://eventespresso.com/contact/

Hi, we are trying to offer discounts for people who already have memberships. But I’m unclear on how that will work. Won’t people without memberships be able to register at the cheaper price too?

Hi,

Currently there is no membership system or discounts in place in EE4, so yes logged in users and non members will share the same prices.

Starting today, current support license holders can opt in to the pre-release channel and download the Event Espresso 4.7 and Promotion add-on pre-releases.

We’d love to get your feedback on some of the new promotion features and changes that we’ve been working on. These include:

  • New interface for managing promocodes
  • Promo code discounts now apply to entire order instead of per ticket
  • Promo code generator
  • Automatic (non-promo-code) discounts
  • Discounts limited by quantity
  • Discounts limited by start date and end date
  • A widget for displaying non-promo-code discounts
  • A shortcode for displaying non-promo-code discounts
Important: The Event Espresso 4 promotions add-on will activate only if Event Espresso 4.7 is active. This means you’ll need to install the Event Espresso 4.7 pre-release before installing the promotions add-on.

If you haven’t already opted into Event Espresso’s pre-release channel, you can go to your account page and check the box to opt in to the pre-release channel. Once you opt in, the download files will be available under the EE4 tab under the Pre Release Downloads heading.

You can find out more information about in the pre-release channel guide.

If you have feedback about Promotions or the 4.7 release, please reply to that Promotions announcement or start another new topic.
