Discount Codes Add-On

[Paul Oaten]

Hi Stephen,

Is there a placeholder code I can use in the booking/confirmation email template that flags up that a discount code has been used and/or calculates the amount of discount given?

Also, the codes themselves appear to be case sensitive. Is there a way of making them not case sensitive (ie without creating additional codes in a different case)?

Also, would be nice if the fact that a discount code was used was flagged in the Booking Details page under the Events menu

There’s no e-mail placeholder for discount codes as of yet, and it sounds like you might require conditional logic. Probably the best way of doing this would be to use the [code on this thread] to add your own place-holder, or perhaps dynamically alter the message if a discount code has been used.

You can get the discount details (array) and discount amount with the following:

$discount = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking_id, 'discount', true );
/* Retruns array indexed by
 *  - id - ID of the discount code
 *  - code The actual discount code
 *  - discount - percentage/flat amount discount (i.e. 50 is either 50% or 50 currency units discount)
 *  - discount_type either 'percentage' or 'flat-amount'.
 *  - min_requirement  - minimum checkout value or ticket quantity
 *  - min_requirement_type - 'tickets' or 'amount'
*/

$discount_amount = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking_id, 'discount_amount', true ); 
//returns float (positive), the amount of money discounted from the total price

Is there a way of making them not case sensitive…

Not yet, but I think they probably should be. I’ll fix this in the next update.

Agreed, will add this in an update to Pro.
