Customer Discount
Purpose
Customer discounts can be assigned to a repeat customer or company and will be automatically applied when a booking is created for the customer or company.
The Customer Discount function is generally used for things like VIP or loyalty programs and staff/family/friends discounts etc.
Customer discounts can either be a percentage of the total booking fee or a dollar amount that is taken out of the total booking fee.
