Creating Host Custom Promo Codes

Create a Promo Code

What are promo codes?

Promo codes allow guests to receive a discount when booking your space. 

You can create a promo code with a set name, discount amount, expiration date, and a maximum number of redemptions. Guests can then enter the promo code when booking your space to receive a discount.

Promo codes can be used in a variety of scenarios - it’s entirely up to you!

• They can be used in broad marketing - you can post them on social media, print them on postcards, and so on
• They can help you convince a first-time customer to try your space
• They can be used to convince a previous guest to come back

How can I create a promo code?

To get started, visit the Marketing tab on the Swimply website or mobile app. Tap “Create Promo Codes”

Next, configure your promo code

• Code name - this is the text that the guest will need to enter in checkout to receive the discount. All host-created codes automatically start with “H-”
• Discount amount - this is the percentage discount that the code will grant. Note that the discount amount affects the total reservation price, which will affect your earnings
• Expiration - this is when the code expires. Note that the expiration is based on when the guest creates the booking, not when the booking takes place. 
• Redemption limit - this refers to the number of times that the code can be used. Irrespective of the redemption limit, an individual guest will only be able to redeem a code once. If you want the same guest to receive a discount, you will need to create multiple codes

After you create a code, you will be able to see any current and expired codes you have created.
