Create hotel booking coupons in SeroPOS

Create booking coupons at HMS › Coupons (/hms/coupons). Each coupon has a code, a discount that's either a fixed amount or a percentage, the room types it applies to and the date range it's valid for. When a guest gives you the code, type it on their booking and click Apply Coupon.

Ideas

Quiet-season offers, a code for repeat guests, a code for a local event or partner business. Because each coupon is limited to room types and dates, you can discount the rooms and nights that are hard to fill without touching your busy weekends.

Good to know

Coupons are applied by staff on bookings in the back office. Hotel (room booking) is an add-on module. The HMS item shows in the back office sidebar when your subscription includes it and your role has the hotel permissions.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't a coupon apply?

Check the booking's room type and dates against the coupon. A coupon only applies to the room types and the date range it was created for.

Can a coupon be a percentage?

Yes. Choose percentage as the discount type for a % off, or fixed for a set amount off the booking.

Can I discount a booking without a coupon?

Yes. Every booking has a discount field where you can enter a fixed or percentage discount directly.
