CVENT; Using discount codes (i.e. for a bursary) – Coach Education

If you need to allow a partial/full discount on a course signup, this can be done through CVENT as below:

Step 1: Find the event in CVENT

Step 2: Click the 'Advanced' tab:

Scroll down to 'Discounts' and it should show that you currently do not have any discounts
Click 'Edit' in the top right-hand corner
'Discounts' will now become editable

Step 3: Creating a discount

Click 'Create Discount' and then fill in the following fields:

Discount Code: Whatever you'd like to call it - could be Bursary40 for example
Capacity: Set this to how many uses of the discount code you will allow (can set to 1 usage & create multiple discount codes if you'd rather)
Calculate by: Set this to 'amount' & set to the desired discount. Can also be set to percentage if offering a % discount.
Amount: Set this to the sum or percentage of the discount
Active: tick this
Details: click the dropdown and under;
- Effective from/to: Set a date window for this discount to be active
- Stackable: always set to 'No' (this means it cannot be used in conjunction with other discounts)
- Apply discount to: select 'The final total'

When done; click 'Create discount' & 'Save' in the top right corner.

Step 4: Enabling discount codes on the booking page

You now need to click on the 'Website & Registration' tab

Next to 'Registration', click 'the Customize' button;

Your customer should then be able to apply the discount code you give them at on the booking page for your event, which will reduce the final total (or skip payment if the discount is the whole cost of the course)
