About Flash sales

Flash sales help you boost demand with limited-time discounts that automatically apply to eligible online bookings and purchases. Set the discount amount, when the sale is available and what it applies to. For example, offer 10% off selected services throughout December to encourage more bookings over the holiday season.

During the sale period, clients see discounted prices when booking or purchasing eligible items online, with the offer automatically applied at checkout. Your team can also apply discounts directly to appointments or at checkout.

FAQs

    • Flash sale start and end dates control when clients can book using the Flash sale, while Appointment dates control when the discounted appointment can take place.

      For example, you could run a Flash sale for one week to encourage early bookings, while allowing clients to book appointments over the following month. Clients must book while the Flash sale is active, and their appointment must fall within the selected appointment dates to receive the discount.
