Summer updates

Discount codes module

All plans

You can now generate discount codes for bookings in LemonBooking using the new (free) discount code module. Discounts can be applied to facility (space) hire and/or resource allocations — and they can be limited by booking group, booking category and customer.

You can also set requirements for a minimum number of sessions (e.g. discount for 8+ sessions), a minimum booking value (15% off bookings over £100) and limit how many times a code can be used (£10 off for the first 10 customers).

There are also date filters and you can exclude bookings with other discounts.

Videos & guides for the help centre

All plans

Following on from the complete revamp of the help centre in the last update - we have started to record and upload short videos to the help centre that show how to complete everyday admin tasks like making bookings on behalf of customers and generating invoices.

We have also started adding guides to the help centre as well. The help centre primarily consists of many small articles on a range of topics. The guides we are adding on the other hand are longform, and go into depth on a particular subject or module.
