How do I create and apply discounts to products and groups?
Important: If you’re setting up discounts for the first time, we advise you to get in touch with us at help@thrive4.com for assistance.
How to create a discount:
- Navigate to Product management > Discounts
- Click ‘Add discount strategy’ in the top-right corner
- Give the discount a description
- Note that the description will be visible to purchasers in the shop
- Use the toggle to set the discount as either ‘Progressive’ or ‘Volume’
- Save using the icon on the right
- Volume discounts affect all purchased items – e.g. a volume sibling discount will give all siblings the discount
- Progressive discounts affect only the specified item(s) – e.g. a progressive sibling discount will give just the specified siblings a discount
- For further information on the difference between the two discount types, see our full guide here.
- Click the plus icon to open the rest of the discount’s settings

- Click ‘Add range’ and choose your unit – this determines what triggers the discount
- Add the range and how much the discount should be
- The example above would offer a discount of 10% (‘Discount %’) to both (‘Volume’) of two (‘Range’) siblings (‘Person’)
- Save using the icon on the right
You can also choose to make a discount members-only – this works with the ‘Treat purchasers of this class/subscription as members?’ product setting. If you’d like to set up a members-only discount, please get in touch with us at help@thrive4.com
How to apply discounts to products:
- Navigate to Product management > Products
- Select a product from the left sidebar
- Within ‘Discounts’, click ‘Add discount’
- Choose the discount from the dropdown
- You can also add an expiry date if you wish for the discount to only be valid on this product until a certain date
- Choose how the discount is applied:
- ‘Each billing period’ - the discount will be applied every time an invoice is issued
- ‘Each schedule’ - the discount is applied each time a schedule renews
- ‘Once, at purchase’ - the discount will only apply when the product is first purchased

Tip: You can also apply discounts to product groups to enable multi-product discounts.
Applying your discounts to groups:
- Navigate to Contact management > Groups
- Open a group’s settings by clicking its name
- In the ‘Discounts’ tab, toggle on any discounts you wish to apply to this group
- Click ‘Save’

Important: When a discount is applied to a group, the discount will apply to all purchases made by the contacts in the group.
