How to Offer Limited-Time Discounts

You can offer a percentage-based promotional discount on a subscription tier for a specific number of billing cycles — for example:

  • 20% off for the first 3 months
  • 15% off for the first 6 payments

This is configured per subscription tier under Advanced Pricing.


Where to Set This Up

  1. Go to Content Vault → Subscriptions
  2. Create a new subscription or edit an existing one
  3. Scroll to the Tier details section
  4. Enable Show advanced pricing options
  5. Select Percentage discount

Step 1: Set the Discount Percentage

Enter the percentage you want to discount from the product’s regular price.

Example:

  • Product price: $29/month
  • Discount: 20%
  • Customer pays: $23.20/month

Step 2: Set the Discount Duration

Under Duration, choose how many billing cycles the discount should apply.

Options:

  • Unlimited → Discount applies for the lifetime of the subscription
  • Specific number of months → Discount applies only for that many billing cycles

Example:

  • Discount percentage: 20%
  • Duration: 3 months

Result:

  • Month 1 → 20% off
  • Month 2 → 20% off
  • Month 3 → 20% off
  • Month 4+ → Full regular price

The system automatically switches back to full price after the defined duration.


Important Notes

  • Duration is based on billing cycles, not calendar months.
  • This feature works per tier — each tier can have its own discount rules.
  • Discount codes are not required — the discount is applied automatically.
  • Fixed price tiers do not support limited-time discounts.

Common Use Cases

  • Launch promotion: 25% off first 2 months
  • Early-bird special: 20% off first 3 billing cycles
  • Incentive for annual plan signups
