Discount codes

Discount codes with the rules built in

A discount code in byTicks takes a percentage or a fixed amount off the ticket price. You choose the tickets, the dates and a limit per code, and service fees are always paid in full.

Create a code

One code, every rule

Type a code such as EARLY20, or let the wand make one. Pick the event and set a percentage or a fixed amount in the event's currency.

  • Entire Cart, or Specific Products such as only the Early Bird ticket
  • Optional: a minimum order, a start, an end and total redemptions
  • Combinable with other codes, or kept on its own
  • Prepare codes on draft events, before the sale starts

In the cart

What the buyer sees

The buyer enters the code in the cart and sees the discount in the total. It lowers the ticket price only: 50% off a € 20.00 ticket with a € 0.50 fee comes to € 10.00 + € 0.50.

If a code does not work, the buyer sees why, in English, Dutch or Spanish.

Guests and invites

A 100% code for free tickets

On a ticket without a service fee, a 100% code skips the payment step and the tickets are emailed right away. On a ticket with a service fee, the buyer still pays the fee.

Results per code

See how often each code is used

The Discounts list shows every code with its status and how often it was used. Admins also see the total discount per code in the Earnings Details widget.

  • A code is Active, Scheduled, Expired or Inactive
  • Each order shows its code under Discount Applied, for admins
  • A code counts as used after payment, so abandoned carts do not use up a limit

Example

A club night with four codes

A Friday club night: 20% off the Early Bird ticket for the first 100 orders, a code for each of two promoters, and one for your guests.

  1. Expired

    EARLY20

    20%Early Bird only

    Turned Expired by itself after its 100 orders.

  2. Active

    PROMO-A

    10%Entire Cart

    One promoter shares this code, and every order counts under it.

  3. Active

    PROMO-B

    10%Entire Cart

    The same deal for the second promoter, so you can compare the two.

  4. Scheduled

    GUEST100

    100%Guest ticket only

    For invites, on a ticket without a service fee: no payment step.
