3.1.5 Create Promotions and Discount Codes (Optional)

Set up discount codes and promotional offers to drive direct bookings, reward loyal guests, and increase bookings during low-demand periods.

Promotions help you control pricing strategically and encourage more direct reservations. You can create percentage or fixed-amount discounts with specific conditions and usage limits.

Do You Need This?

Yes - if you want to offer guests a discount based on specific conditions, run a promotional offer, encourage longer stays, or create a voucher code.

No - if you are not offering any discounts at this stage. You can continue to configuring your taxes.


Create a Promotion

  1. Navigate to Pricing > Promotions

  2. Click Create a Promotion in the top-right corner

Important: For percentage-based promotions, the discount only applies to fees that have "Included in Nightly Price" enabled in your rate plan.


Configure Your Promotion

Complete these five sections:

1. General Info

  • Internal Name: A unique name for your reference

  • Discount Type: Choose Percentage or Fixed Amount

  • Discount Amount: Enter the value

  • Description: Add internal notes (optional, not visible to guests)

2. Conditions

Toggle on any conditions you want to apply:

  • Minimum nights

  • Minimum guests

  • Booking date range

  • Arrival date range

  • Other restrictions

3. Marketing Info

Make your promotion visible to guests:

  • Toggle on Display Marketing Information

  • Add a Marketing Title for your Direct Booking Website (optional)

  • Add a Marketing Description to explain the discount (optional)

4. Settings

  • Promotion Limit: Toggle on to set how many times this promotion can be used.

  • Voucher Code: Create a code guests must enter to receive the discount.

  • Promotion Stacking: Allow multiple promotions to be combined (optional).

Note: You can only enable Promotion Limit OR Voucher Code, not both.

Managing Voucher Codes:

  • Click the Delete icon to remove a code

  • If unused in bookings: click Remove

  • If used in bookings: click Decrease Limit instead

5. Allocation

Choose where your promotion applies:

Sources:

  • Direct Websites and Manual Bookings - Applies only to bookings through your website or manually created in Zeevou

  • Channels - Applies to OTA bookings (Connection Type A only)

Note 1: Promotions created in Zeevou are supported in a channel only when that channel has no limitation on accepting promotions. Currently, promotions created in Zeevou for Type A connections can only be applied in Airbnb, VRBO, and HomeToGo.

Note 2: If a promotion created in Zeevou includes any of the conditions below, it cannot be published on OTAs:

  1. Fixed Amount Discount

  2. Accommodation Price

  3. Number of Guests

  4. Booking Date Range

  5. Arrival Date Range

  6. Voucher Code

Rate Plans:

  • All Possible Rate Plans - Automatically applies to all existing and future rate plans

Note: Selecting "All Possible Rate Plans" means future rate plans will automatically include this promotion.


Manage Your Promotions

From the Promotions Dashboard:

  • Click the three dots under Actions to View or Delete

  • Hover over a promotion and click the pencil icon to edit the Name or Discount
