I just recevied this message from my event director –
Wanted to bring something to your attention, not sure what we can do. I had a woman (Allie Appeal) sign up with a promo code. She was doing a large booking for 15 people, and the code was set for 15 uses for $60 dollars off. When she entered the code, it only showed one “use” and split $60 dollars savings across 15 people. I’ve included the invoice here for you to check out. I’m already in contact with here and am working on a solution.
Something else small I’ve noticed, it will count as a “use” if someone enters the code to get a subtotal, then not pay. Can we make the “uses” only for those confirmed reservations?
Is there a way around these things?

Hi there,
Currently promotions apply to events rather than tickets themselves, so this:

Is the expected behaviour for promotions, it applied $60 to the registrations linked to the event the promotion applies to.
So just to clarify, you’re looking for promotions to apply to each individual ticket. In the above example its $60 per ticket so it’s a $900 discount as a whole (15 tickets, $60 discount applied to each individual ticket so $60 x 15 = $900).
Is that correct?
(Again, we don’t have that functionality built into core but we do have some custom snippets that may help, I’m double checking the expectation flow here to see if indeed they could apply or not)

Not as it stands.
The reason the promotion shows as used once its been applied to a transaction is becuase the user technically can return to that same previous transaction and complete the purchase. So the promotion was ‘used’ to apply the discount to the transaction, if we don’t mark is as such you can have X number of transactions with a promotion applied to it which could then be finalized at a later date even after the promotion was properly ‘used’.

Any updates on this? This is starting to be a problem for us.

Hi there,
Sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean. What updates are you waiting on?
The behaviour you’re seeing is currently the expected behaviour for promotions, they apply on an the event level rather than ticket level.
I asked above to confirm how you want the promotion to apply so I could check if we have anything available for it. We do not have that functionality in core and the example we have for ticket scope promotions is available here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-promotions/bc_ee_ticket_scope_promotions.php
However, I’m not sure if that will work for you setup, it does not track usage per ticket.
