How to set up a promo code in Zoho Backstage

Promo Codes

Incentivize prospective attendees to buy tickets to your event by offering discounts and special offers. In Backstage, there are two types of promotional codes: discount codes and access codes. 
 
A discount code offers a reduction in the price of a ticket. Include discount codes in your promotional strategy to boost ticket sales. 
 
An access code reveals a hidden ticket class. These can be used to give your VIPs access to hidden or private ticket classes that aren't available to the public.
