Porter allows you to create discount codes to run promotions, offer client incentives, or apply custom discounts during checkout — whether it’s for a full appointment, a product sale, or both.
🛠️ How to Create a Discount Code
Log in to app.getporter.io
Click your name in the top-right corner
Go to Manage Shop > Tax & Discounts
Click “New Discount”
For each discount, you can configure:
Discount Type: Choose between:
Percentage (%) off
Fixed Dollar ($) off
Responsibility for Covering the Discount: Decide who should absorb the discount
Business (shop absorbs it)
Employee (artist absorbs it)
Split (shared responsibility)
💡 This is only relevant if you're using automatic commission splits
Discount Code (optional): Add a code if you want this discount to be used by clients at checkout. Leave this blank to use the discount internally only through POS
💳 How to Apply a Discount at Checkout
At In-Person Checkout (POS)
From the appointment or sale, proceed to checkout
On the payment summary table, click “Add Discount”
Select the discount you want to apply
On Client Checkout Links
If the discount has a code, clients can enter it on the checkout page
The discount will be automatically applied to their payment
Discount codes are a great way to reward loyal clients, run specials, or offer exclusive deals — and Porter makes them easy to manage and apply with just a few clicks.
