Must know
  • Promo codes require a code typed in at checkout; automatic discounts apply with no code.
  • Automatic discounts come in two forms — per-program family and multi-session discounts set on the program itself, and org-wide automatic discount rules built on the Discounts page.
  • All of them show as a reduction line on the invoice, so families see the savings either way.
Uplifter has two separate ways to give families a break on price, and they’re configured in different places.

​
Promo codes

These are the discount codes you build under Settings > Financial Setup > Discounts. They only apply when a customer types the code at checkout, and they can carry a scope, validity window, usage limits, and a minimum spend. Use them for time-boxed campaigns, referral offers, or “first 50 families” promotions where you want to hand out a code.

​
Automatic family and multi-session discounts

These are set on the program itself — on its Billing step — not on the Discounts page. There are two kinds:
  • Family / sibling discount — a lower price when more than one athlete from the same family enrolls.
  • Multi-session discount — a lower price when one athlete signs up for several sessions.
There’s no code to enter — the discount is applied automatically at checkout whenever the cart meets the rule you set. They’re ideal for standing offers you always want in effect.

​
Automatic discount rules on the Discounts page

You can also build automatic discount rules on the Discounts page that apply org-wide with no code — a staff or member price, an automatic sale, a new-customer welcome, or a family/sibling rule that spans every program. These sit next to your promo codes on the same page and carry an Automatic badge. If you run both a per-program family discount and an org-wide family rule, both can apply to the same line — retire one when you turn on the other.

​
Which to use

Reach for a promo code when you want families to enter something for a limited-time offer. Reach for an automatic program discount when the break should always apply based on how much a family is enrolling. Both land as a reduction line on the invoice.
