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").
