Discount code types — percentage vs fixed amount
Rex supports two types of discount codes: Percent and Fixed. Understanding the difference helps you set up promotions that work the way you intend.
Percent discounts
A percent discount reduces the booking total by a percentage of the subtotal. For example, a 20% discount on a $100 booking saves the guest $20. The discount is calculated against the package price (and optionally fees, if the "Apply to fees" setting is enabled).
Fixed amount discounts
A fixed discount reduces the booking total by a specific dollar amount. For example, a $15 discount saves every guest exactly $15, regardless of the booking total.
Choosing the right type
Use percent discounts for broad promotions where the savings should scale with the booking size (e.g. "20% off all bookings this weekend"). Use fixed discounts for specific promotional credits or gift-like offers (e.g. "$10 off your next booking").
Set discount type
When creating or editing a discount, select "Percent" or "Fixed" from the Discount Type dropdown.
Enter the amount
For Percent, enter a number between 1 and 100. For Fixed, enter the dollar amount (e.g. 10 for $10 off).
