Signup Anytime Community

Signup Anytime supports several different ways of enabling discounts for registrations.

1. Discount Codes.  These are the simplest kind of discounts.  Simply create a code, set the dollar amount, maximum number of uses, and expiration date.  Then, send the code out by e-mail, postcard, etc.  When registrants get to the checkout screen, they'll be able to apply the discount code by copying in the code you created.  You can reach the discount editor in the Signup Anytime administrator by navigating to My Account -> Discounts.
   
2. Multi-registration Discounts.  For many youth leagues, families who register more than one child get a discount on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th registrations. In Signup Anytime, these types of discounts are handled by category.  So, if you wish to provide a discount for more than one registration in a Fall 2009 category, simply create a new Multi-registration discount.  Choose the number of registrations (you'll need to create a multi-registration discount for each multiple - 2, 3, 4, etc.) and amount of the discount.  These discounts will be applied automatically as registrations are added to the basket.  Note that only ONE multi-registration discount may be applied per cart.  You can reach the multi-registration discount editor in the Signup Anytime administrator by navigating to My Account -> Multi-Registration Discounts.
3. Questions.  Sometimes, you may want to offer a conditional discount, and allow registrants to select it as they register.  To do this, add a new question to your event (in the event editor) and make it a multiple choice - drop down type.  Add the applicable Answers, setting the price to a negative value for the amount of discount.
4. Date-based discounts.  If you want to provide early registrants with an early-bird discount, this can be addressed by adding a new fee.  In the event editor, navigate to the Registration Fee tab.  Click "Add Fee".  Set the effective date to the earliest date/time of registration.  Make sure that the "regular" registration fee has an effective date set to the end of the early registration period.
