Create discount codes

Coupons are a great way to offer special deals or discounts to customers. You can create and manage coupons in the inventory section.

Two-step process

Important: Creating coupons is a two-step process:

  1. First: Create the coupon with discount type and conditions
  2. Then: Add the specific codes that customers can use

Step 1: Create a new coupon

Enter title

Go to add new coupon and name your coupon.

Tip: Use the title to briefly describe the discount. For example: "Summer discount 2026 - Mon & Tue -30%"

Choose coupon type

You have three discount options:

  • Free time: Gives customers free minutes/hours on their booking
  • Percentage discount: Reduces total price by a percentage (e.g., 20% off)
  • Amount discount: Reduces total price by a fixed amount

Set conditions (optional)

By default, coupons are always valid. However, you can add conditions to make them more specific:

  • Boats: Restrict to specific boat models or types
  • Docks: Limit to certain dock locations
  • Dates: Set start and end dates for the coupon period
  • Times: Specify time ranges (e.g., only morning bookings)
  • Days: Restrict to certain weekdays (e.g., Monday-Tuesday only)
  • Duration: Set minimum or maximum trip lengths
  • Exception dates: Exclude specific dates when coupon shouldn't work

Add coupon

Step 2: Add coupon codes

After creating your coupon, you need to add the actual codes that customers will use. You have three options:

  • Best option when you want many different codes
  • Choose how many codes to generate
  • Set usage limit per code (how many times each code can be used)
  • Specify code format and length

Enter manually

  • Perfect for creating a single code for a large group
  • Enter your own custom code
  • Set how many times it can be used

Import codes

  • Upload codes from Excel file
  • Copy and paste multiple codes into text field
  • Gives you complete control over code format
  • Helpful for adding large numbers of codes

Generate coupon codes

Managing your coupons

Export codes

  1. Go to the coupons section
  2. Find the coupon whose codes you want to export
  3. Click on the coupon to open its detail page
  4. Use the export button to download codes to Excel

Use cases for exports:

  • Finding a specific code quickly
  • Sending to print shops for physical coupons
  • Sharing codes with marketing teams

Best practices

  • Clear naming: Use descriptive titles that explain the discount and conditions
  • Test first: Create a test coupon with one code to verify it works as expected
  • Monitor usage: Keep track of how many times codes are being used
  • Set limits: Use usage limits to control how often codes can be redeemed
  • Plan ahead: Set up date ranges for seasonal promotions
