There are two ways to apply a discount code to a back-end booking depending on your workflow: | |||
==Option 1: Applying a Voucher Code to an Existing Booking== | |||
If the booking has already been created in the calendar: | |||
Open the existing booking. | |||
*Go to the Charges & Payments tab. | |||
*Find the "Voucher Code" field and enter the agent's discount code. | |||
*Click "Recalculate" to apply the discount. | |||
The charges will automatically update to reflect the discounted price. | |||
==Option 2: Applying a Voucher Code When Creating a New Booking== | |||
If you are creating a brand new booking from scratch: | |||
*Click the "Add Booking" button in the calendar. | |||
*While filling in the booking details form, you will see a "Voucher Code" field. | |||
*Enter the discount code directly into this field. | |||
*Complete the rest of the booking details and save. | |||
The discounted price will be automatically calculated and applied from the start. | |||
