Discount Codes
Create a discount code
To create a discount code, click Studio set-up > Discount codes > Create
Name it, and then choose:
Discount type: if its a percentage off or fixed value off
Usage Limit: whether it will be limited to one use per person (or more)
Auto-renewing subscriptions limit: if this code be applicable to subscriptions, how many renewals will it be limited to (note: on the next page, you can assign which items it will be usable on)
Expiration: will it expire? If so, add the date. If not, leave it blank
Applies to: Does it apply to everything? Or just specific items. You'll be able to fine tune which items on the following page.
Click 'Create' when you're done (note that if you chose Specific Items you'll need to locate the discount code in the index page, click it and assign the specific categories/items).
To assign items, choose categories, the assign items.
Set Global Usage Limits for Discount Codes
Discount codes can now be used with global limits.
What does this mean?
Think of global limits as a cap on how many total uses are available among your entire customer base. In other words, you can set the total number of times a particular code can be used across all customers.
Use cases might include:
a Black Friday deal where the first 25 people get 20% off of an annual membership
an upcoming training with an early-bird special for the first 5 people to sign up
Note that you can still have a usage limit per customer as well, meaning that if you're global limit on a discount code is, say, 25, you can still limit each customer to 1 use. So you won't have to worry about customers taking advantage and using the discount code more than once. Just make sure to set this figure to 1.
You can find this new setting for Discount codes under:
Studio set-up > Discount codes > Create
Next, select Limited Usage limit > set your 'Usage per customer' and your 'Usage globally.'
Trouble using a discount code? Try these trouble-shooting tips
If you're unable to use a customer's discount code, you can check its settings from Studio Setup > Discount Codes.
Check to make sure the item you're attempting to use it on is listed in the items it applies to. Assign items at the bottom of this page if needed.
Check that its Usage Limits or expiration dates are accurate. If any changes need to be made, click Actions > Edit.
Additional Settings to be aware of
Global usage: how many times can this code be used among your entire customer base (ie. if you put a 10 here, and a 1 for 'usage per customer', then after 10 separate customers use the code, no other customers will be able to use it).
Auto renewing subscriptions limit: if the code is used on an auto renewing subscription, does the discount apply to all future renewals of a customers subscription, or just a limited number? Put 0 if it shouldn't apply to any renewals.
Test it out
After saving changes, start a POS transaction for the customer and original item you were attempting to use it on. Put the discount code here.
Price Rules
What are price rules?
A Price Rule gives a discount to individuals who have a special tag assigned to them.
You control how much of a discount is given and on what items (ie. classes, products, appointments, etc). A price rule that's just been created basically tells Momence “look for anyone that's buying something, check to see if they have this specific tag and, if so, give them a discount of x amount on these specific items (or all items)”.
Tags are like labels. They can be used to designate special groups of people, like a VIP or someone on a special membership. Tags are also helpful in filtering reports.
Tags can also be used to give discounts. This is done with Price Rules. Price Rules allow you to give discounts to individuals who have a special tag assigned to them.
In the video below, we'll preview which reports use tags, then show you how to:
create a tag
tag a membership
create a price rule to give discounts to customers on that membership
To skip the video and self serve, start by creating a tag:
Under Customers > Tags > Create tag > name it > make sure its applicable to memberships > give it a label name and badge color.
Then navigate to a membership > click Edit > scroll to the bottom > assign the tag.
Next, create a price rule by heading to Settings > Offerings > Price Rules > name it > select the tag > choose the discount > choose what its usable on.
Lastly, test it out in POS by first adding an individual to the membership > then opening point of sale and selling them an item covered by the price rule.
Do price rules apply when customers are self serving?
They do. They even apply when when you are ringing someone up in POS. You'll see a percentage off or absolute value off. In POS, you'll also have the opportunity to remove the price rule.
How do I set one up?
The basic steps to set up a price rule are:
Create a tag: Under Customers > Tags > Create tag > name it > make sure its applicable to memberships > give it a label name and badge color.
Tag a membership: (or tag another group of customers via a Sequence Automation). To tag a membership > navigate to a membership > edit one > scroll to the bottom > assign the tag. Note: the tag used must be a customer tag or a membership tag.
Create a price rule: Head to Settings > Offerings > Price Rules > name it > select the tag > choose the discount > choose what it's usable on.
Test it out: add an individual (maybe a test customer if you have one) to the membership via POS or the membership page > then, in POS sell them an item covered by the price rule. Observe the discount that’s auto-applied.
How to do I prevent customers from seeing multiple price rule discounts?
In short, simplify your tagging.
Lets say you have two memberships. You want to give discounts on products to customers that have these memberships.
If there is potential for customers to have both memberships, you should consider tagging both with the same tag. Then create a price rule that gives discounts to those that have that tag.
Will customers that qualify for a price rule see a discount if they're booking a class with a membership?
Not if they're using a membership. They'll only see a discounted amount if they're paying with a card. The reason for this is that the customer has already paid for the membership and the benefits that come with it.
For example, if a membership gives 10 class credits a month, and the customer goes to purchase a class with those credits, Momence can't discount a single class credit.
So, if the customer is self serving when registering for a class and has some remaining class credits, they'll need to click 'Book without membership' to see the discounted rate.
Hosts often use price rules to give discounts on drop-in prices to members that run out of credits. So, if they don't see an option to use their membership, they can always click Book without and still get a discounted rate until their membership re-adds credits.

To quickly view which of your subscriptions are tagged, click Memberships > Subscriptions and Packs > choose the tab for either Subscriptions or Packs > click Options > Show Tags.
To add or edit a memberships tags, click the dropdown menu to the right of the membership > click Edit Tags.
Why did members pay for items at a discounted rate?
If you're curious about why a member received a discount on their membership or event, there are several ways to uncover the details. This article will guide you in locating transaction information to recognize any discounts that may have affected the sales value inaccurately.
Furthermore, we will provide instructions on rectifying these problems once discovered.
Typical Questions
Finding the Reason for a Discounted Rate
Click on the Customers
Click on Customer list
Search for the customer
Click on their Name to open their profile
Click on the Activity tab
Click on the Payments tab
Find the discounted item and click on the three vertical dots to the right of the transaction
Click on Show payment details
If there are any discounts added to the transaction, a breakdown will appear on this window:
Based on the image above, it appears that the customer was able to receive a discounted rate for the 10 Class Package. This was made possible by two price rules that were applied during the checkout process.
If the stacked price rule discount is a mistake, reviewing the price rules is essential to ensure the customer is not receiving a large discount.
Fixing Stacked Price Rules
Building on the previous example, we will now discuss correcting a double discount applied to a transaction because of stacked price rules.
From looking at the Payment Details we can visually see that there are two discounts applied for the 10 Class Package that is priced at $130.35.
First discount was for Price rule - 10% Off Unlimited Members
Second discount was for Price rule - 15% Unlimited Members
Even though the price of the package is correct at $130.35 there are stacked price rules resulting in a total price of $99.72.
To fix this we first need to take a look at both of the price rules and understand why the customer qualifies to the two price rules.
To review the price rules follow these steps:
Click on Settings
Under the Offerings section click on Price rules
Locate the price rules and click on each to review them
Upon reviewing both price rules, it is evident that individuals with the Unlimited members tag receive a 10% discount on the 10 Class Package. Furthermore, those with the same tag are entitled to a 15% discount on the same package under the second price rule.
If a member is tagged as such on their profile or tagged by having a membership, they can benefit from both price rules on the same package. This results in a stacked discount at checkout, ultimately reducing the cost of the 10 Class Package.
Note: To double check a customers tags click on Customers> Customer List> Select Customer from list> Locate Tags on left hand side of customer profile
This customer had two memberships that were both tagged with the Unlimited members tag.
You can take one of two corrective actions to eliminate the combined discounts. You can either delete or modify the price rules to ensure accuracy.
To delete a price rule:
Click on Settings
Under the Offerings section click on Price rules
Click on the three vertical dots to the right of the price rule
Click on Delete
Setting up a price rule correctly refer to our article, Create a price rule.
My price rule isn't working. How do I check that I've set it up correctly?
If a customer has reported they're not receiving an expected discount from a price rule, you can check your work by checking two things:
Compare the Price Rule's settings to:
the customer's tags (do they have the right tags listed in the price rule?)
what the customer was attempting to purchase (is the item included in the price rule?)
First, pull up the price rule: click Settings > Price Rules > click on the price rule.
Then, review:
The discount it should give (is it the right amount?)
The tag(s) it uses (the group it should give discounts to).
Is there an 'AND' clause? (see ex. below) This means the customer needs to have both tags listed in order to get the price rule's discount
The items it gives discounts on (have you chosen the correct items the rule should give discounts on?)
Now, open a separate tab to check the customer's tags. Pull up the customer list > click Options > Show Tags > search for the customer.
Things to check:
Do the customer's tags match what's in the price rule?
Is the item they want to buy in the Price Rule's item list?
Make changes where needed.
Note:
If the price rule uses a membership tag (a tag that can only be applied to memberships), check that this tag is applied to the customer's membership(s). To to this, edit the membership > scroll to bottom > add tag.
If the price rule uses a customer tag, you'll need to apply this tag to the customer directly (or via a Sequence): to apply it directly, navigate to their profile, click Actions > Edit Customer's Tags to confirm they have the right tag assigned.

Will customers that qualify for a price rule see a discount if they're booking a class with a membership?
Not if they're using a membership. They'll only see a discounted amount if they're paying with a card.
So if the customer is self serving when registering for a class and has some remaining class credits, they'll need to click 'Book without membership' to see the discounted rate.
Hosts often use price rules to give discounts on drop-in prices to members that run out of credits. So, if they don't see an option to use their membership, they can always click Book without and still get a discounted rate until their membership re-adds credits.
Referrals
Sunsetting of Host Referral Program
As of late 2024 we are not longer taking host referrals. Since its launch, the program has helped us grow through the support of our community, and we are deeply grateful for every customer who shared our product with friends, family, and colleagues.
The decision to discontinue the Referral Program comes as we evolve our growth strategy and focus on new ways to deliver value and engage with our community.
We’re incredibly thankful for the enthusiasm our customers have shown over the years and are looking forward to continuing adding value to your day-to-day experiences.
Our aim is to do this by continuing to build better and better features to automate away everything administrative, helping you to further consolidate down to just one platform and get back to focusing on what matters most.
How do I set up customer referrals?
To set up customer referrals, click Marketing > Customer referrals > set your criteria for what your customers will receive.
Here's how Referrals work:
After the referral feature is turned on, an existing customer of yours can find a referral link to share with their friends from either their mobile app or desktop account
After a new customer signs up using this special link, that new customer will get rewarded with whatever you've listed on line 1 pictured below
Once the new customer spends what you've listed on line 2, ($20 in the example above), the original customer will receive whatever you've listed on line 3.
When sharing links with friends, customers will be able to see a preview of what they stand to gain if their friend spends the required amount.
For more views on setup and how customers interact with this feature, see this video.
For a deeper dive on this feature, see this video that details all of its facets.
Is there an article I can send customer's that explains how referrals work?
Yes, along with a few others to help your customers get up to speed with Momence. You'll find the collection here.
Tags
Restrict bookings by membership tag and control how soon those customers can book
Important: if you are looking to restrict booking of a single specific class, you'll want to edit an existing class. If you have an existing series of classes that need restricted booking, edit the template instead. This will allow you to make these changes to all classes created from that template at once.
To restrict who can book a specific class to just certain customers that have a specific membership tag, follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a membership tag
Click Customers > Tags > Add new tag > select Membership tag
Step 2: Assign the tag to a membership
Click Memberships > Subscriptions and packs > select a membership > edit details > scroll to Tags section and select the tag to assign
Step 3: Update a class or class template to only take bookings from from customers with this membership tag
For the template path, click Classes > Class templates > edit a template using the dropdown menu (or create a new one)
Then:
In Additional Settings, select 'Restrict who is eligible to book'.
Toggle on 'Restrict bookings to customers with specific tags'
Choose which membership tags to restrict bookings to
Choose a timeline for the restriction if one applies > then click Save changes.
Below is an example where we've chosen allow all customers to begin booking this class at the beginning of the week (that Sunday). AND, we've chosen to allow our Monthly Unlimited Members to begin booking any time.
For the class path, click Classes > Upcoming Classes > select a class > click Actions > Edit class > Scroll to the bottom.
Then:
In Additional Settings, select 'Restrict who is eligible to book'.
Toggle on 'Restrict bookings to customers with specific tags'
Choose which membership tags to restrict bookings to
Choose a timeline for the restriction if one applies > then click Save changes.
Organize sales reports into categories by tags
Tags, in short, allow you to filter.
Many reports contain dropdown filter menus for tags, allowing you to see just the sales categories you've tagged. Ex. Vinyasa classes vs. Yin classes. Or one membership vs another.
To create and assign new tags, click Customers > Tags > Create new tag.
Name it > choose what it can be applied to > choose whether to turn it into a customer badge > then add a custom label and color for said badge.
Example:
If you create a tag for a membership; then
assign this tag to that membership (from its Edit page); then
everyone on that membership will have that tag/badge showing on class signup lists.
Bulk tag your customers in your CRM
You can now bulk tag your customers from your CRM. Here's how: click Customers > Customer List > select who you'll tag using the checkboxes next to each name > click Add tags.
Pro tip: if you have a group in mind that shares similar characteristics, and you'd like to see just that group listed for easy tagging, try our Customer Segmentation filters. They'll help you narrow the results before tagging.
Tag your customers directly (ex. "special needs" or "VIP")
If you're looking over the sign up list of an upcoming class, and want to know who the VIPs are or who needs special attention, you can give your teachers a heads up by tagging customers ahead of time.
Their tag and associated badge will show up next to their name ahead of time so its clear who's who.
To add a tag to a customer, click Customers > Customer List > choose your customer > click Actions > Edit Customers Tags > choose a tag or create a new one to assign.
What's the difference between Customer Tags and Membership Tags?
Customer tags can only be applied to customers.
Membership tags can only be applied to memberships.
Why is this relevant?
The main reason is that these two common tag types are often used with Price Rules -- which give automatic discounts if someone has a special tag assigned to them.
Its common for host's to want to give discounts to customers on memberships. And, to save time, these hosts can tag an entire membership with a membership tag. This then tags all customers on that membership with that membership tag. This is faster than tagging all customers individually with customer tags.
A case for customer tags
Hosts can set up a marketing sequence that auto-adds a tag to any customer that performs a specific behavior. For example, if a customer purchases a membership, tag them automatically with a tag that's associated with a price rule. To learn more about how sequences and their additional functionality click here.
So, unless you are using sequences to auto-tag your customers, then consider saving time when setting up price rules by using a membership tag. You can always remove these tags quickly later on if you decide to give Sequences a try.
Here's how to set up a price rule, using a membership tag.
To learn how sequences work and they can grow your business, click here.
Restrict booking by tag based on number of class visits
This article covers how to:
Create a tag
Create a sequence that auto-applies that tag to customers that hit a class visit milestone
Restrict booking of classes to just those that have this tag
Pull a list of customers that have already hit this milestone and tag them manually
Create a tag
Click Customers > Tags > New Tag
Name it something that helps you remember what it represents.
Create a Marketing Sequence that tags customers that hit this milestone
Click Marketing > Sequences > Create
For the Trigger, choose Class Visit and use the following criteria > click Create.
Then click Add Step > Add Action.
Make the Action a tagging of the customer and choose the tag you created.
Restrict booking from a class or class template level
Edit the class or template > scroll to 'Restrict who is eligible to book' > choose the tag > Save. Do this for all classes/templates that need this restriction.
This Sequence and Restriction setting will now look for all customers that hit this milestone, tag them, then make them eligible to register for this class.
Manually tag any customers that have already hit this milestone
Since the sequence only looks for customers that have just hit the milestone, we need to pull a list of customers that have already passed it by using Customer Segments.
Filter by visits > Save the Segment
Then run down the list and click each customer > edit their tags via Actions.
If this list is especially long, you can send a request to [email protected] to mass tag the whole list for you. Just grab the link to the segmented list at the top of your CRM and share it with them.
How to restrict purchases of packs or subscriptions by tag
You can create packs or subscriptions that are only purchasable by customers with a specific tag. Typically this tag will come from being on a specific membership, but it can come from other forms of tags too.
In this article, we'll cover how to:
tag a membership
create a pack that's only purchasable by customers with this tag
To begin, tag the membership first (click Subscriptions & Packs > edit the membership tags)
In the pop up, create & assign a new tag or assign an existing one > Submit.
Then create the pack/subscription that will only be purchasable by the tagged group.
Under additional settings > toggle on 'Restrict purchases to customers with specific tags' and choose the tag you just assigned.
Lastly, make sure the subscription or pack is 'featured at checkout' so its visible to customers in checkouts.
