About Flash sales
Flash sales let you run limited-time offers that automatically apply to qualifying online bookings. Choose the discount, when the sale is active, and what it applies to. For example, run a sale offering 10% off selected services throughout December to encourage more bookings over the holiday season.
During the sale period, clients will see the discounted price against your services when booking online. The offer will automatically apply at online checkout. Your team can also apply discounts from a Flash sale or other Deals manually to an in-store appointment or at checkout.
