Discount Codes to be used when booking an appointment online

[JuniperRising]

I'd like to offer a special for clients for booking online, but there is no option for them to enter in a discount code when booking their appointment. This would be an essential asset to business marketing, promotions and bookings. It's important to have pre-paid booking options, but if i want to offer a discount, there doesn't seem to be any way to do this

Has there been any progress on this feature request? This would be extremely helpful in promoting my business. I'm surprised that this isn't available yet.

Has anyone found any workarounds for this?

Rather than getting over enthusiastic replies about how great it would be to get the feature from Square reps I'd like to hear from square directly about why, after 6 years, this feature is still not available. 

Genuinely about to switch to Wix because I can't offer a discount code for appointments. Absolutely mental IMO.

All I can say is just switch to Acuity (which Squarespace bought awhile back). You'll find everything you need there.

Why is this still not a thing!? The fact that you can give out discounts on items but not appointments is INCREDIBLY annoying!!!

The work around that I've found is this:
Turn on Business must accept or decline all appointment requests in the appointment settings.

Before you accept an appointment, add the discount manually for them.

BUT this is not the best form and hard to communicate to customers.

@JJ_ So it has been over a year and still nothing. I am really getting tired of Square promising features that are so basic and fundamental and not implementing them YEARS after they have been suggested. Time for me to look into other booking sites 🙄

It’s frustrating when you create a discount for clients to then have them unable to use them because the booking software doesn’t offer a place to put it in. There also isn’t a way to add the discount if you have the settings set to accept payment ahead of time.

@Kassi_ After booking an appointment online, customers are presented with this:

But they can't use gift cards to pay for booking appointments online. 

I've had a number of clients ask me about this feature and I always have to tell them it's not possible. They then either have to get over it or move to another platform, neither of which is good. 

Could y'all please add this feature? It would make Square more cohesive to have everything be able to use the same gift cards, including Square Appointments. 

Thanks!

2023 and still no ability for clients to use coupons codes or gift cards online when booking an appointment. I'm a software engineer by trade. I will happily jump on for free just to add this feature, because clear the devs hired don't know how. Just let college kids help, something. Gloss Genius and the others are looking more attractive every day that simple things aren't available, but stuff no one wants is added. We can't even add a credit to someone's account 🤦🏽‍♀️

This would be a great feature to drive forward business and see who actually looks at and uses discount codes.

[TinaLash]

Still no feature for coupons or discount codes to be used at booking.

This is a strong selling point for businesses and this needs to be fixed! 

I was working on it for an entire day before I realized this forum of same issue.
