Question

How can I allow invitees to apply discount codes to the price of my event/s upon booking?

I am offering package deals for my event types and would like to allow my invitees to book multiple dates for a discounted price. How can I do this?

We are also looking for a coupon code.  Our clients pay for a session in SamCart and then we give them a link to book their session.  By giving them a link and a coupon code we can be sure that they can only book a session based on the number of session a coupon is good for.  Right now, we are using Acuity which works well but we are looking to move to Calendly because of the cost savings.  But if we cannot get coupon code functionality that will be a deal breaker.  

Any update on this feature request?

Adding to this thread. I run online group events and want to be able to offer discounts or free passes to people. It’s too much admin having to send those people a seperate email with the zoom link for the paid event or worse, a zoom link for the paid event so everyone is on the same meeting but a booking link for a discounted rate. It’s too much admin and becomes confusing. Definitely exploring other options unless this will be a feature available in Calendly. Thank you!

Please do implement this feature soon to allow ease of use in offering discounts to our valued clients.

I second this...

This is BASIC functionality for online systems that take money.

We have just spent ages developing an onsite workaround that requires the user to enter “discount code” upfront, and then filters the event types.

It would have saved so much work to have the user enter the code at the point of paying rather than upfront. Besides being an usability issue (users expect to add codes at the end, not the beginning),  this has more than doubled the amount of event types we need to manage.

Wow, I can’t believe this thread has gotten so long and Calendly still isn’t offering this feature.  How is this not an option! I agree with everyone this feature should be a given, when almost any other platform would offer this as standard.

I am going to add my frustration to the thousands of people who have searched for information on Calendly’s (non-existent) coupon function and come up with nada.

The ability to offer a coupon for services or products is a basic and necessary function. For Calendly to not provide this as part of their core offering, or after so much feedback from users, is simply not good enough. It would seem to indicate a deliberate attempt by Calendly to ignore their users needs.

I for one will be transferring my service to Acuity, who do offer such a function. Because, you know, having a coupon function is a necessary part of an appointment booking process.

Adding my .02 to the request for the discount code.  I simply want to have the ability for people I choose to give it to, to see the value of my time.

How amazing that I am literally looking for this option while this thread is red hot in the calendly community.  I hope the response is quick to solve this with a feature release update.

Adding my 5 cents too to request Calendly to prioritise being able to add a discount code. I have enjoyed using Calendly over the last few years however am starting to have to move away from it and use Kartra because having to create clone events is just not manageable. Being able to apply a discount code is a very basic feature and much needed!
