Types of discount codes
Choosing between percentage and fixed amount discounts
When creating a promotion, you can choose between two fundamental types of discounts: Percentage and Fixed amount.
Percentage discount
A percentage discount deducts a specific proportion of the total booking cost.
- How it works: if you set a 20% discount, a EGP 1,000 trip will be reduced by EGP 200 (leaving the client to pay EGP 800).
- Best for: encouraging higher-value bookings or running store-wide sales (e.g., "Black Friday 20% Off").
- Limit: the value cannot exceed 100%.
Fixed amount discount
A fixed amount discount deducts a specific dollar value from the booking, regardless of the total cost.
- How it works: if you set a EGP 50 discount, a EGP 1,000 trip will cost EGP 950 (leaving the client to pay EGP 950).
- Best for: specific rewards, referral bonuses, or clearing inventory (e.g., "EGP 50 off your first trip").
