Bulk Discount Codes

Bulk Discount Codes

The Bulk Discount Codes add-on allows you to create multiple discount codes at once instead of adding them manually one by one. This is perfect when you need to generate unique codes for sponsors, partners, VIP guests, students, corporate discounts, influencer campaigns, and similar use cases.

Once the add-on is activated, go to Tickera -> Bulk Discounts

You’ll see the following options:

1. Discount Code - Enter one or more discount codes, each on a new line.
2. Discount Type - Choose how the discount is calculated:
   • Fixed Amount (e.g., 10 = €10 off)
   • Percentage (e.g., 10 = 10% off)
3. Discount Scope - Defines how the discount applies:
   • Per Item – discount applies to each ticket individually
   • Per order – discount applies once to the full order (works best for percentage or flat cart-based promotions)
4. Discount Value - The numeric value of the discount. Example: 15 means €15 off or 15% depending on type.
5. User Roles - Restrict discount availability to specific WordPress user roles.Great for:
   • Member-only pricing
   • Student or staff discounts
   • Loyalty programs
   • Leave as All to allow everyone.
6. Discount Available For - Select one or more ticket types that the code can be applied to.Useful when:
   • VIP discounts should not apply to Early Bird tickets
   • Sponsors should only get certain ticket types
7. Usage Limit - How many times the code can be used in total.Example:
   • 1 → one-time use (unique code)
   • 100 → valid for the first 100 uses
   • Leave blank or type Unlimited → no limit
8. Used Count - Shows how many times the code has already been used (read-only).
9. Expiration Date - An optional expiration date (24-hour format). If left empty, the code never expires.

Click Add Discount Codes to generate all codes listed.
Each code becomes a separate entry with its own usage tracking.

Why this add-on matters

Bulk Discount Codes turns Tickera into a marketing machine.
Real-world examples:

• Partner & sponsor promotion – give each sponsor a unique batch of codes to distribute and track results.
• Influencer marketing – generate 50–500 unique codes and assign one batch to each influencer.
• Corporate booths / VIP access – give companies codes so attendees can claim their free or discounted ticket.

If you want even deeper reporting, you can export usage data using the CSV Export add-on and analyze code performance (who used it, when, on which ticket type, etc.).
