Create and Manage Discount Rules for Event Registrations | Zoho Backstage

Discount Rules

Encourage registrations and increase ticket sales by automatically applying discounts when predefined conditions are met. Discount rules allow you to offer discounts based on the total order value or the number of tickets purchased, eliminating the need for attendees to enter promotional codes during registration.

With discount rules, you can define eligibility criteria, configure discount amounts, set redemption limits, and control how long the discount remains active.
