Offers

Overview

Offers give you the ability to create and generate special offer codes for products, services, gift cards and memberships at the location level! Offer codes can be shared with clients to be applied during self-booking or can be applied by staff during the checkout process.

*Please Note: Offers are available to businesses with Premier and Enterprise subscriptions. Essentials customers: to access full Offers functionality, reach out to the Support team via Help Chat or by contacting support@blvd.co to upgrade your subscription today. Please see the Discount Reasons support article for more info on what you can accomplish without Offers.

Applying Offer Codes at Checkout

  1. During the checkout process, the front desk can easily enter or paste an offer code in the Offers section. If the order applies to the rules you've selected and you've selected Auto-Apply when setting up an offer, the offer code will be automatically applied. You also have the option to select from a dropdown listing of all applicable offers codes.

    If an appointment does not fit the criteria set for a specific offer, they will not see the option to apply it. (ex. If an offer code has expired, if it’s not the correct date or time, if they did not receive a specific service or product, etc.)

Stacking Offers and Other Discounts

When two or more offers apply to an order, both discounts will be applied in order to give the client the best possible price.

  • Ex. Flo is getting a Head Shave during the Holiday Sale (during the month of December), as well as on the 13th day of the month. In this case, both offer codes can be applied so that she gets both 13% off for the day of the month sale and an additional $20 off for the Holiday Sale.

In addition, if an offer is applied to a ticket and another discount is manually added, both discounts will be applied to give the client the best possible price.

  • Ex. Ross is purchasing an Argan Oil Shampoo that is eligible for the Blowout Product Sale offer. We’re giving Ross an additional discount of $5 for referring a friend. Both the offer and manual discount are applied to the product sale.

Applying Offer Codes during Self-Booking

  1. After a client chooses a date and time, they’ll be prompted to review their booking. By clicking “Have a promotion code?” they can enter an offer code and click Apply. This offer discount will automatically be applied at checkout.
