My site crashed few days ago and i noticed that Promotional Codes are not working anymore.
I followed all the instructions from this post: https://eventespresso.com/topic/promotional-codes-not-working/ but still the same problem.
Here is my site: https://www.sbaycpr.com/enroll-class/itemized-view/
When I try to add a second attendee it should make a 50% discount for this one and should be a total of $75, but it’s $100.
Please help me!

Hi Richard,

The other post had an issue with the promo code box not displaying in the cart. Since your site does not have a cart option it would be a different issue.

Can you let us know the name of the event and the Promo code assigned to it so we can investigate further?

All the events have a promo code named SPECIAL50OFF

Hi Richard,

How much is SPECIAL50OFF set to discount? Is it set as a percentage discount or a fixed dollar amount? It looks like it’s discounting 25%.

Thanks for the fast reply! Yes indeed, it’s set as percentage. Is this wrong?

It depends. If you intend to discount each ticket by 25%, then it’s correct. If you intend to discount the tickets by another amount, it’s not correct. What is the intended discount?

An event has the price of $50 for a person. If 2 persons register they pay $75 both.

Did you change it? Now it looks like it’s set to discount $25 per ticket. A percentage discount equaling 25% will discount each ticket 12.50 to make for a total of $75 for two tickets. Please note that promo codes discount each ticket and will apply if one or two tickets are purchased.

Yes, I changed it. Why it doesn’t not apply the coupon?

It applied when I tried testing it. Are you entering the promo code in the Promo code field when you fill out the registration form?


Rich O

I do not enter any promo code.

Is there any possibility to set the promotional code automatically without being necessary for the visitor to enter it?

No, they’ll need to enter the promo code to get a discount that’s based on a promo code. The early discount feature will automatically apply a discount without entering a promo code though.

One more question. How can i use early discount feature to work when 2 attendants registers but to keep the price full when a single attendant registers?

Hi Richard,

It turns out that the early discount feature will alwaysdiscount the price with one ticket up until early registration is over. It sounds like the Volume Discounts add-on is better suited for the discount scheme you are looking to offer:

Hi Josh,
I installed Volume discounts and configured it but it doesn’t work. Can you tell me the main steps to follow in order to put this in function?
Thank you verry much!

Did you follow this guide first:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/multiple-events-registration-use-add-to-cart-link-instead-of-default-registration-form/

Then you set up the Volume Discounts according to this guide:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/volume-discounts/

Then for more details with a usage example there is this guide:
