Hi Team

Have installed the promotions widget into sidebar, shows Title but no content?

Am I missing something?

I have one promo as a test with all fields completed.
Cheers

Hi Gazza,

The promotions widget will only display ‘codeless’ promotions.

For example, on this site I have 3 promotions – http://take.ms/WsaD7

2 of them use codes and are considered ‘secret’ compared to the codeless promotion that anyone can use. So we don’t display promotions that uses codes within the widget.

Do you all your promotions currently use codes?

Aaahhh, I see…

This makes sense, however, would it not be good if the user could determine what Promotions to show, regardless of secret or not? (like a checkbox – show, no show) If show, hide the Promo Code, so at least this remains a secret.

In my case, I have a Promotion with a code for a Bursary “prize” for a certain course that potential attendees can apply for. So I want to promote this “Bursary” to all as like a selling tool, so they can apply (via a contact form or email etc) – then register and enter supplied code. Make sense?

I realise I could just use a text widget to do all this to.. Maybe this is the simplest way to go?

Also I am using EE to register for a course that lasts say 6 months, and they can either pay EG $600 for the 6 months or pay EG $120/month x 6 (recurring) – so two types of tickets. This Bursary can be used against either ticket.

If the Bursary Promo is say for a 50% discount, then it would be $300 or $60 respectively.

Can you suggest the best way to set this up?

Thanks in advance

I think a text widget is probably best.

You can set up a discount to have a 50% discount, but we DO NOT have a system in place to handle the recurring billing.
