Promotional Codes

When you want to give your supporters a discount for purchasing their tickets, you can offer them a promotional code.

Please note that Promotional Codes only work with Ticket and Item Form Elements. It does not work with the Calculated or any other Form Element to prevent any possible issues with accidentally "discounting" a donation.

To create a code, select Utilities from the left navigation, and choose Promotional Codes from the dropdown. 


If you have not created any codes, click Create New to get started.

  • Code: Your code can be anything you like. (Numbers and letters only).  The code will automatically display in uppercase, though entering it is not case sensitive.
  • Discount: The Discount itself can be either a percentage OR a specific dollar amount. If you want to offer some supporters a percentage and others a straight dollar amount, simply create multiple codes.
  • Quantity: If you want to limit the number of discounts you wish to give, enter a number here. When that number has been reached, the code will no longer work for your supporters. You can reset it to Unlimited by clicking Unlimited under the box.
  • Save your code and it will be ready to go in your new activity.
