Title: Discount Code Help Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Discount Code Help * Resolved [fcvolunteer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fcvolunteer/) * (@fcvolunteer) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/discount-code-help/) * Hi Franky, * I needed help with creating a discount code for an annual event last year and you helped me out in this thread. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/discount-code-4?replies=15](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/discount-code-4?replies=15). * At the end of that thread I came across a problem where the code was causing the form to bypass the paypal screen when the discount code was entered, instead of just deducting the amount of one “ticket” from the total. You provided me with new code which I believed worked last year but now I’m running into the same problem. * Here’s the code I’m using: * ``` add_action('eme_insert_rsvp_action', 'FCNC_eme_coupons',20,1); /** * Custom function to calculate coupon code discounts for events */ function FCNC_eme_coupons($booking) { global $wpdb; $bookings_table = $wpdb->prefix.BOOKINGS_TBNAME; $discount = 36; $where = array(); $fields = array(); // Grab the coupon code from the extra answers $event_id = $booking['event_id']; $event = eme_get_event($event_id); $booking_id = $booking['booking_id']; $answers = eme_get_answers($booking_id); $coupon = ""; foreach ($answers as $answer) { if ($answer['field_name'] == "Coupon") { $coupon = $answer['answer']; } } if ($coupon == "TeenFriend") { // If coupon code used, apply the appropriate price change $price = $booking['booking_price'] - $event['price']; // now check $coupon for your wanted value $fields['booking_price'] = $price; $where['booking_id'] = $booking['booking_id']; $wpdb->update($bookings_table, $fields, $where); } return; } ``` * Thanks! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/discount-code-help/#post-7279473) * The code you show here is not the code shown as example at the end of that thread. * Thread Starter [fcvolunteer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fcvolunteer/) * (@fcvolunteer) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/discount-code-help/#post-7279767) * Thanks! Silly me. That part works now but I’m still running into the issue that if there’s only one RSVP and they’re using the coupon code which deducts 1 entry fee they’re still being brought to the Paypal screen. * Any ideas? * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/discount-code-help/#post-7279775) * If the paypal page shows up, it means the price is not 0.

Is there a way to limit how many times a code can be used? * Thanks again. * Plugin Author [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * (@liedekef) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/discount-code-help/#post-7279790) * Sorry, currently not possible (since this is in fact your own code, it is not managed by eme). I’m still in the progress of implementing a more central EME- managed discount model, but it takes time … Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Discount Code Help’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/events-made-easy/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1856035) * [Events Made Easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-made-easy/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-made-easy/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-made-easy/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-made-easy/reviews/) * 10 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Franky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liedekef/) * Last activity: [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/discount-code-help/#post-7279790) * Status: resolved
