Clubs and Coaches can now create their own promo code for members, players, guests or friends to receive a discount or credit when booking camps or coaching courses.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are sending a Payment request/Renewal Request for a course, the option to apply a discount is not available.
This is a great feature if you want to offer early bird promotion to book on holiday camps or coaching courses. Free trial sessions or credits for sessions that had to be cancelled due to weather for example. Please see this guide to complete the following tasks.
Watch this short 5-minute video to get you started!
Note: Discount codes are only available in the coaching and holiday camps module. It is available for all courses with the exception of LTA Youth Start. We plan to roll out the discounts module to other modules such as the court booking module and membership module in the future.
