Discounts on an appointment
If you run a campaign with 20% off, or give someone a special price, record it on the appointment. Timeblu keeps the original price and what the client paid, and your revenue reports count what you charged, not the list price.
It works on every plan.
Apply a discount
Open the appointment
Click the appointment in the calendar. Under Details, the Price row shows what it costs.
Apply discount
Click Apply discount. Choose % for a percentage or € for a fixed amount off, and type the figure. Before applying it you see the Final price.
Add a reason (optional)
Type why, for example Christmas campaign. Reasons you have used before appear as shortcuts: tapping one fills the type, the figure and the reason.
Apply
Click Apply. The appointment shows the final price, the original struck through and the discount, with who applied it and when.
You can do it before or after the visit: also on an appointment that the automatic checkout already completed. To change the discount click Change discount (it is always computed on the original price); to undo it, Remove discount.
An appointment without a price takes no discount: set a price first in Edit. A cancelled appointment or a no-show shows its discount but cannot change it.
The whole visit
If the client has more services that same day (cut, colour and treatment), applying a percentage shows Also apply it to the other services of this visit: each service gets the same percentage on its own price. A fixed amount applies only to the appointment you have open.
At checkout
The Checkout dialog (and Save and complete in the visit sheet) shows the price and a collapsed Apply a discount section with the same form: the appointment is completed and discounted in one step. Left collapsed, nothing changes.
Editing the price of a discounted appointment
In Edit, the Price field is the price before the discount, with the result under it (With the discount: €32). If you change it, or change the service, the discount stays: the same percentage, or the same fixed amount.
Who applied it: the price history
Each discount records who applied it and when. As the owner, each appointment’s Price row also has the Price history: every discount applied, changed or removed, and any price change made in Edit, with who made it and when. Nobody can edit or delete that history.
In a team, whoever can charge the appointment applies discounts: you and the employees with Edit permission on that calendar. With View only, the employee sees the discount but cannot change it.
In the reports
In Revenue, the total is already what you charged. Under the table by calendar and service, a card shows Discounts: -€96.00 on 12 appointments; Show breakdown groups them By reason (for example, what the campaign cost you), By service (where you discount the most), By date (by month on ranges longer than a month) or By person (who applied them).
With the assistant
You can also ask the assistant: “Apply 20% to Laura’s appointment today, Christmas campaign”. It asks you to confirm before applying it.
