I need a way to track credits and allow members to use accumulated credits on paid events. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

That is not a supported feature at this time.

About using promotions and discounts?

Sorry but can you expand on that, please?

Yay Tony! 😀

I need a way for my members to use what we call credits against events where we charge money. An ideal situation is each member can collect $ credits. Is there a limit to how many different discount codes I can create? Maybe I create 1 discount code for each member who has credits. Usually we issue credits in $25 increments so if the code is for $25, then all I need to do is increase the amount of times that code can be used?

For each event, is there a way to limit how many “credits” the discount code will let you use at once? For example, if a discount code for $25 has 3 uses, will the member only be able to use 1 use per event? And 1 coupon code per event?

Finally, how do you protect the discount codes from people who use Honey and like services that scans for discount codes?

Ha! Hello 🙂

No.

So, yeah, in theory that sounds like it could work. Offically I can’t say that its a feature, because your using the promotions differently than they were intended to be used.

But… you can create promotion codes that can be used multiple times so it sounds feasible.

For each event, is there a way to limit how many “credits” the discount code will let you use at once? For example, if a discount code for $25 has 3 uses, will the member only be able to use 1 use per event? And 1 coupon code per event?

You can set a ‘Number of Uses Per Scope Item’ value on the promotion, which because promotions currently only apply to events themselves, you can reword that to be ‘Number of Uses Per Event’ which I think is what your asking here.

Set that to 1 and the promotion can be used once per event, 2 then twice etc etc.

Finally, how do you protect the discount codes from people who use Honey and like services that scans for discount codes?

The short and sweet answer is we don’t.

If people share a promotion code there isn’t a realistic way in which you can prevent that from being used.
