Discount Levels are used when creating Account or Coupon Code discounts. There are three levels of discount: Account, Program and Student.
There are two calculation types: % Percentage and $ Dollar Amount
When using a % type discount, the Level assigned has no impact on the way the discount is calculated. A % type discount is applied to the total balance for each registration, regardless of the number of students or registrations for the account.
When using a $ type discount however, the Level that is chosen changes the way the discount is calculated or when it is applied.
Account: When selected, the discount is given once for the account per charge month.
For example; if an account has a $10 Account
Level discount assigned, and the customer registers for programs in January,
the discount is applied, subtracting $10 from the total due.
*The discount will not be applied to subsequent registrations until the
next charge month, February.
Program: When selected, the discount is always applied to each registration or recurring charge.
For example: if an account has a $10 Program
Level discount assigned, and the customer registers for programs in January,
the discount is applied, subtracting $10 from each registration. If the
customer registers for three programs, $30 is subtracted from the amount
due.
*The discount is applied for all additional registrations during January
and all subsequent months until or unless the discount is removed from
the account.
Student: When selected, the discount is applied once per student for the given account, per charge month.
For example: if an account has a $10 Student
Level discount assigned, and the customer registers 2 students for programs
in January, the discount is applied, subtracting $10 from the first registration
for each student. If each student registers for three programs, $20 is
subtracted from the amount due.
*The discount will not be applied to subsequent registrations until the
next charge month, February.
