# How to Use the Discount Feature

{% hint style="warning" %}
T**his is a Ultra feature of Cowlendar.** You need to upgrade your plan if you want to use this feature and you are a free user of Cowlendar.
{% endhint %}

***

The **Automatic Discounts** feature in Cowlendar allows you to apply discounts to both **Multiday Booking** and **Bundle Booking** services. Discounts are triggered based on the number of **days** (in Multiday services) or the number of **slots** (in Bundle services) the customer selects when booking.

This tool is perfect for encouraging your clients to book for **longer periods or in greater quantities** by offering attractive deals as an incentive.

#### 🎯 Key Benefits:

✅ Create multiple discount tiers based on the number of days (Multiday) or slots (Bundle).\
✅ Discounts can be set as a **percentage** (e.g., 10% off) or a **fixed amount** (e.g., $20 off).\
✅ Ideal for promoting longer or larger bookings — like 10% off for 3+ days or $15 off when booking 5+ slots.\
✅ Boosts booking volume while rewarding customers for committing more time or resources.
