Offering a discount

Hi @Advanced36008!

Looks like you already found our workaround post here: 

In your situation, the cloned hidden event is likely something that could work well, especially if you’re thinking of perhaps pairing with an email campaign. It’s a good way of getting the hidden event out to the correct audience and increase bookings.

Dear Calendly, how is it that you STILL don’t offer coupons or discount codes as an opttion? Seriously...I am so on the verge of leaving Calendly as a result of this. THis is a MAJOR FEATURE DEFICIT and all of these workarounds are plasters on a gaping wound.

When are we actually going to see a REAL solution and why has this not been prioritised? (Quite honestly, what dev HAS been prioritised on Calendly - I’ve seen very little change or enhancements in the 3-4 years I’ve been using it and this lack of development is unacceptable in a copetitive market). 

Hi there

I’ve just written an open letter to Calendly on LinkedIn requesting that coupons be urgently supported. Would you be so kind as to support it with a comment to help us make progress twoards a solution?

You may also be surprised at how annyingly simple the soution is! (Yes, there is one - I don’t know why they aren’t implementing it)

Here is the link to my open letter. Grateful for any support: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nataliefordcoaching_head-of-product-engineering-api-integrations-activity-7265798924672618496-5MhC/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

I would LOVE support for coupons, so I can make your clients feel special by giving them discount codes.

Stripe supports coupons already. All Calendly needs to do is set a flag when it displays the Stripe payment page, and then the Stripe coupon entry box will become visible and fully functional.

***IT IS LITERALLY THAT SIMPLE***

Why hasn’t Calendly hasn't implemented this?

We also are in dire need for the ability to make use of coupon codes.  Please implement!

Hi Outten,

I've waited over 2 years for this ridiculously simple feature to be added. Calendly confirmed to me they aren't adding this any time soon, so I left.

I recommend “You Can Book Me” instead - it offers discount codes and coupons and has all the same features as Calendly. It looks and feels very similar to Calendly too, and it has a nice intuitive setup.

The only difference is it's a wee bit more expensive (they take a 1% cut of your Stripe payments and you have to pay 5p per text if you send text reminders). Otherwise it's like for like and a good choice if you really want the coupon feature, which let's face it is pretty fundamental and necessary!

Best wishes

Agree with all of this, we are in desperate need of a way to use coupons natively in Calendly!  Our current workaround doesn’t actually work and we’re back spending hours thinking about the best way to do this.  Our last booking platform made this easy but lacked other functionality which brought us to Calendly.  And now something that should be simple is causing us to waste time with ‘workarounds’ that don’t work well.

Please make this a priority!

Echo’ing everyone here. I run my entire business off Calendly and this discount issue and lack of action on Calendly’s part is why I’m now starting to migrate everything over. There’s a huge cost to this and it will take a while to fully move over but at $250/month this is insulting that Calendly can’t even give us a discount code feature.

I’m done with manually copying events and having to do all of these manual workarounds. It’s 2025, this should have been fixed a year ago.
