In this guide, we'll learn how to review and understand a detailed invoice breakdown for a reservation using a promotional discount code. This example involves a returning guest who utilized a 15% off code for a booking in Gardners. By examining the invoice, you can see how the discount is applied, including additional fees and the deposit amount. This process is useful for ensuring transparency and accuracy in billing, especially when promotions are involved.

Let's get started

Hey, I'm going to demonstrate a perfect example of someone using the 15% off promo code. I just got my first reservation tonight. I was about to leave the office, but I saw this and decided to make a quick tutorial. This is a picture-perfect example. The person is Tyler Mousley.

This person received the promotional email, searched for availability, found it, and booked a couple of nights in June in Gardners. I suspected he would use the code because I know him well. I completed his invoice as usual and then confirmed he indeed used the code.

Here's the thing. I don't need to click it because I already have it open. This link right here allows you to view a detailed breakdown of your bill.

If you click that, it will display a lot of information that the email itself might not show. This is what appears when you scroll down on that page.

You receive all these financial details right here.

You can see they have a 15% off promotion for returning guests.

Their subtotal is displayed here, and can see that this includes a $50 pet fee.

He is clearly paying the 25% deposit of $112.63.

I will show you how the invoice was structured.

I had forgotten to set it to "Special Terms" at the start - but caught it in the step below. For all bookings that put down 25%, please make sure to use special terms.
