Using a discount with price sets
January 06, 2011, 09:00:50 am
I noticed that I can use a discount with the simple pricing on an event. Can I also do so using a price set? I would like to give a discount if one registers by a certain date but do not see that option if using a price set. Any thoughts?

Thanks

This is my personal opinion, not speaking for the core team.  I don't like price sets or early discounts features of CiviCRM.  I think the funtionality is confusing to users.  I recommend to my clients they do not use either one.

If you want an "early bird" discount, put a note in your event description "discount if registered by X, X 2011" and simply change the dollar values manually at some point in the future.  Set a reminder in your calendar, and it takes you 5 minutes of your time to change these manually
