- Use full-tax-on-original-amount rules when the promotion should not reduce the taxable basis from the customer's perspective.
- Use booking-fee controls when the business wants discounts to affect the base price but not the booking fee burden.
Tips
- Decide the targeting and stacking rules before publishing the code, because those are usually more important than the discount percentage itself.
- Use date, time, and day restrictions intentionally for demand shaping instead of only thinking about the discount amount.
- Review usage history after launch so campaigns can be adjusted before they overrun margin or underperform.
