# Limit a code with purchase conditions

> Make a promo code work only for one event ticket, one billing cycle of your membership, or one session format.

Purchase conditions narrow when a promo code applies, based on what the member chooses at checkout. For example: 20% off, but only on the VIP ticket; or 10% off your membership, but only when they pick yearly billing.

## When to use this

- An event has several tickets and the discount should only apply to one of them.
- You want to nudge members toward yearly billing with a yearly-only code.
- A session is offered both in person and online, and the discount is for one format.

## What you can check

The conditions on offer depend on what the code applies to.

| Code applies to                       | Condition          | Values                                                           |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| My Portal (your membership)           | Billing cycle      | Monthly, Yearly, One-time                                        |
| Event                                 | Selected ticket    | The tickets on your event(s)                                     |
| Event (all events, not specific ones) | Event visibility   | Public, Private, Unlisted                                        |
| Session                               | Preferred Modality | In Person, Online, Hybrid (only the formats that session offers) |

Courses have no conditions. If no condition fits what you picked, the Add Conditions button doesn't appear.

**Step 1: Start a promotion**

Go to [Business → Pricing](https://portal.bringsoul.life/settings/pricing?tab=promotions) →
Promotions and click Create Promotion. Enter the Code.

**Step 2: Choose the offerings first**

Under Applicable Offerings, add the offering type and, for an event or session, click Specify
Offerings to pick the exact one. Conditions are built from what you pick here.

**Step 3: Add a condition group**

Click Add Conditions. The group reads *"All of these conditions must be met during purchase for
the promotion to apply."*

**Step 4: Add a condition**

In Add new condition, pick the field (for example Selected ticket). Choose is or is not, then
the value (for example *VIP*). Click Save. The condition appears as a line, such as *Ticket
selected during registration is "VIP"*.

**Step 5: Add more if you need them**

Add another condition to the same group to require both. To remove one, untick it.

**Step 6: Finish the code**

Fill in the Description, Benefit Type and any Additional Rules, then click Create Promotion.

| Encourage yearly plans        | My Portal                     | Billing cycle is Yearly           | 10% off, Once |
| In-person regulars            | Session (specify the session) | Preferred Modality is In Person   | $15 off      |
| Discount public events only   | Event (all events)            | Event visibility is Public        | 20% off       |

## What your members see

Nothing different until they apply the code. If their choice meets the conditions, the order shows the code and the lower price. If not, the code isn't applied, and they see a short reason under the field saying the conditions are not met. Say the condition when you share the code, for example _"20% off the VIP ticket with VIPLOVE"_.

## Good to know

- Conditions are part of the code. Like the rest of a promotion, they can't be edited later; deactivate the code and create a new one instead.
- You can see a code's conditions under Purchase Conditions in its Promotion Details.
