Discounts are a great way to support other businesses in your centre and build a strong community. As a commercial tenant, you can both claim discounts from other stores and offer special deals from your own.

Discounts as a user

Ready to see what offers are available? It's simple to find and claim a discount.

  1. Navigate to the Discounts section from the main menu. You'll see an overview of all the discounts currently offered in your community.

  2. Browse the offers. Click on any discount card to see the full details, including the terms and conditions.

  3. To claim an offer, simply show the digital discount card on your phone when you are at the store.

💡 Save Your Favourites! Click the heart icon ❤️ on a discount to save it. Your favourite offers will also appear on your Home screen for quick access.

Creating Your Discount

Want to attract fellow employees to your business? You can create your own discount for the community to enjoy.

First, check if you have the right permissions. If your Community Manager has enabled this feature for your account, you will see an Add Discount button.

If you don't see this button and would like to offer a discount, please contact your community manager.

  1. In the Discounts section, click the + Add Discount button.

  2. Fill in the details for your offer.

    • Company: This should be pre-filled with your store's name.

    • Title: Create a short, clear headline for your discount.

      • Examples: 10% Off All Items, 2-for-1 Tuesdays

      • (Maximum 20 characters)

    • Description: Explain your offer in a bit more detail.

      • Example: Applies to all of our freshly baked pastries.

      • (Maximum 50 characters)

    • Terms & Conditions: List any important rules or requirements.

      • Example: Cannot be combined with other offers.

    • Expiration Date (Optional): If this is a limited-time offer, you can set an end date. If you leave it blank, the discount will remain active until you decide to remove it.

  3. Once you're done, click Save to publish your discount to the community.

Pro Tip: The character limits on the title and description help keep the discount cards looking clean and easy to read on any device. A clear and simple offer is always the most effective!

In the My Discounts section, you will find an overview of all the discounts you have inserted. 

Discounts as a community manager

As a community manager or Service editor / administrator, your Discounts section includes a Manage Discounts tab in addition to the standard Overview and My Discounts tabs.

This Manage Discounts tab gives you full administrative control:

  • It contains a table view of all current and historical discounts created in your community.

  • If your community requires approvals, any discounts waiting for your review will appear at the top of the screen.

  • You can customize the table by clicking the ⚙️ Edit columns button to add or remove information fields.

Managing the discounts module

To configure the module, click the gear icon (⚙️) located in the top right corner of the module's overview page.

  • Cover Image: Sets the main banner image for the module.

  • Category: Determines in which category the module will appear within the "Discover" section.
