Bonus Passes
Bonus passes allow you to automatically create a pass for one of you customers every time their subscription is created or renews.
Bonus passes are often used for things like:
- Buddy passes that allow a subscriber to bring 2 friends for free each month
- Access to other services you want to include on a limited basis for free along with a subscription (i.e. a pass that allows Sauna access twice a month with a subscription)
When creating or editing Subscriptions you will see a new option called Bonus Pass:
Currently, passes are supported but subscriptions, payment plans, gift cards, or retail products are not.
When the subscription is created or renews, it creates a new bonus pass and sets it's price to $0, and makes sure that the period the pass is valid matches the subscription. Using the sauna example from above, I could build:
- A Subscription called Platinum Monthly
- A Pass called Platinum Sauna that is valid for 1 month and allows 2 sauna visits. It is built with an access code so it cannot be purchased standalone.
Every time someone signs up for a Platinum Monthly subscription a Platinum Sauna pass will be issued
Whenever a Platinum Monthly subscription is canceled, it will cancel any valid Platinum Sauna passes for that customer.
Whether you're creating a special bonus pass for your specific subscription or using an existing pass, please be sure the pass is set so the valid period is Starts at Purchase. This will allow the pass to become visible in the drop-down selection on the subscription
