If you don't want to actually pay and then refund yourself, you can create a 100% discount code that when entered at the checkout will make the order free.
Steps on creating 100% discount code on Manage
- Go to Venue Details > Discounts/Surcharges.
- Click Add Discount/Surcharge.
- Type: Discount
- Name: this is what will show up to the customer when they see the discount. For example, “100% off testing"
- Discount code: It must be in capital letters and no spaces. For example, RANDOMWORD (do not use the word TEST as people often try that and can get free meals from you)
- Percent discount: this is where you enter the percentage off you want. For example, for a 100% discount, you would enter 100.
-
Description: enter a description of what the code is e.g. “100% off testing discount”. This description is for you and your team to know what the discount is for.
- Click Save
- If you want the discount to only be effective for a specific date (for example, from February 09 to 14, 2023 only)
- Select Edit on the right corner of the discount code
- Select Add time slot
- Choose the Start and End Dates
- Click Save
- If you want the discount to only work for specific days of the week or times (for example when you're going to be there):
- Click the clock button
- Add the time slots of your discount. For example, on Wednesday 4pm-6pm and name it the same as the discount/surcharge name.
- If you want specific days, for example, Wednesday and Thursday enter in 12:00am-11:59pm for those days so that its only valid for those specific days.
- Click Submit
DO NOT click Set as Venue Wide Button. Otherwise, it will make it free for everyone without having to enter the code.
