Student Discounts

It's easy to assign discounts to students by adding & enabling a discount % or $ amount directly on the student record

One way of adding discounts to a student is by creating a discount program for their recurring bills.  To see how that works, click HERE

A simpler way to do this is to define the discount on the student record itself which will automatically apply these discounts in different payment situations.

  • Auxiliary: This will apply to any fees assessed through the time based billing blocks

CAUTION:

  1. Make sure you unenroll students from discount programs to prevent duplicate discounts
  2. If you use coupons for discounts on signups and you are enabling sign up discounts, make sure to disable those coupons to prevent duplicate discounts being used on a sign up form
  3. Discounts will only be applied to new invoices created after enabled on a student account.  If you have any queued or unpaid invoices, you should make sure you manually apply those discounts to existing invoices.
