Desired behavior:
Ability for administrator to create special 'discount codes' which can be entered during membership application or renewal to reduce the price by appropriate amount.

I vote for this feature... definitely a plus for someone like me who is launching a new website and would like to attract new subscribors.

The "ideal" feature would also allow a "number" of codes. For example: the first 50 subscribors to apply the code get 50% off the first year.

Just an idea!

Yes, this would be nice to offer a renewal discount (which as far as I have learned, can't currently be done.)

Discount codes would be great.  I would like to see them more for event registration than membership.

To be able to add promo codes or discount codes would be a great addition to the software.

 I currently am beta testing a product at Promo_Code_Software and have found many uses for the software.

I am sure I would use it here with my WA account when implemented.

Tools all marketers need in the one product

Sounds good.  I'd like to offer:

• an early-bird membership renewal discount
• discount pricing on event registrations for members only (non-members pay full price)

 

The second thing is available now - setup two registration types with different prices - one for public, one for members.

This would be an excellent feature to link membership discounts to event attendees or respondents to advertisements etc.  Definitely a yes vote from me!

I would definitely like to see this capability. I would like to hand out brochures at our events as a way of introduce our new website and to encourage people to pay their membership dues online.  In each brochure I would list a secret code.  When people register as members, they enter the code and if their code is correct, they win a free membership.

I would really like to see a discount code available on the membership application. It's a great way to encourage people to join. I hope it will be available soon.

 

 

We're very interested in "true coupon codes".

 I mentioned this in the "wish list" forum, not realizing it was actually on this forum already.

Anything new on it?  I remember you saying that you wanted to get the Authorize.net function working first, right?

Interested in learning how to market your website? SEO, Google AdWords, Blogging classes all available at www.HippoIMT.com Now a Wild Apricot site!

Any forecasted date for this to be implemented?  I'm really interested in offering a membership discount (either a dollar amount or a percentage) so that some or all of my membership levels can offer a single-parent discount.  Right now, I have a separate "Single Parent" membership level in addition to my "Regular Member" level, but at least one person has complained about the separate designation.  A discount (check box?  Check here to receive the single-parent discount.) on the Regular Member level would be more discreet.

We are discussing right now whether we can put this into release 2.38 (dev starts early Nov, release Dec). It is still up in the air.

Here is how our initial thinking on how to implement this:

• New page under Settings/Members: 'Membership discount coupons'
  • List all existing coupons, ability to view details/edit/delete/add
  • Coupon parameters:
    • name, e.g. 'Conference promotion'
    • Discount - ideally (optional): ability to specify either % (0 to 100) or amount (any positive amount)
    • Secret code: ability to enter your own or generate - like we have in Events
    • usage limitations:
      • How many times: Unlimited/specified number of times (E.g. First 20 people to use this coupon will get $20 discount)
      • (Optional) What membership levels can it be applied to?
    • Active/not active
• During membership application show a field 'Discount coupon code'
  • Only if valid coupons exist for currently selected level
  • System will validate the coupon and record its usage, deduct it from the total.
    • Total can't become negative, only goes down to zero.
    • This means that a paid level can become free.
    • I think coupons should be recorded in transaction log as payments/adjustment
• When a particular transaction is viewed, it should be possible to see that a coupon has been used.
• Each coupon usage should be recorded and in the coupon list it should be possible to how many times it has been used and view all transactions where it has been used
• Initially this will be applicable for new applications, though ideally we need the same for renewals and events
• To think through how to reflect discounts in reports

With the new group functionality, you ought to allow coupon codes to be assignable to groups as well as different membership levels. 

Coupons should also be either for membership renewals, or event registrations. or both. 

We give a membership discount to people who are "group leaders" ... we want to take $25 their monthly dues.  This would be ideal!
