Advanced Discount PRO

Yatra's free plugin supports promo codes out of the box — customers type a code at checkout. The Advanced Discount module unlocks two extra modes:

1. Group Only — auto-applies when the traveler count crosses a threshold (e.g. "6+ travelers, 10% off") with no code required.
2. Promo + Group — a code that also layers group-size logic on top, so larger groups get bigger discounts.

You can also configure category-based tiered ranges so different traveler categories get different group rates within the same discount.

What you'll need

Thing	Where to get it
Yatra Pro license	Yatra → License
Advanced Discount module enabled	Yatra → Modules → Advanced Discount
At least one trip with pricing	The discount needs a price to discount against.

Step 1 — Enable the module

1. Open Yatra → Modules.
2. Find Advanced Discount → toggle on.
3. The Discounts page (always at Yatra → Discounts) now shows the Group + Promo+Group modes when you click + Add Discount.

Step 2 — Create a discount

Open Yatra → Discounts → + Add Discount.

Pick a mode

Mode	Free / Pro	Auto-applies?	Code required at checkout?
Promo Code	✅ Free	No	✅ Yes
Group Only	PRO	✅ Yes (when threshold met)	No
Promo + Group	PRO	After code applied	✅ Yes

Pick Group Only or Promo + Group and continue.

Common fields (every mode)

Field	Required	Notes
Code	If Promo or Promo+Group	Monospace, unique, auto-uppercased.
Name	✅	Internal label.
Description	—	Subtitle on the discount list.
Type	✅	Percentage or fixed amount.
Amount	✅	The discount value (e.g. 15 for 15% off, 25.00 for $25 off).
Max Discount Amount	—	Caps a percentage discount at an absolute value.
Valid From / Expiry Date	—	Both optional.
Usage Limit	—	Total uses across all customers. 0 = unlimited.
Usage Limit Per Customer	—	Caps per-customer redemptions.
Min Booking Total	—	Discount only applies above this amount.
Applicable To	✅	All trips or Specific trips → pick trip IDs.
First Time Customer Only	—	Restrict to customers with zero previous bookings.

Group-mode-only fields

These appear when you picked Group Only or Promo + Group:

Field	Notes
Group Discount Min Size	Smallest traveler count that triggers the group discount. E.g. 6 means "6 or more travelers".
Group Discount Type	Percentage or fixed (per range).
Group Discount Amount	The value when the threshold is met.
Group Discount Mode	Total (one rate for the whole booking) or Category-based (different rates per traveler category).
Category Discounts (range)	When Category-based is on, define per-category tiers — see below.

Category-based tiered example

Group Min Size: 6+

Adult category:
  6–10 travelers → 10% off
  11+ travelers  → 15% off

Child category:
  6–10 travelers → 5% off
  11+ travelers  → 8% off

Each tier is a row in the Category Discounts repeater with a min travelers, max travelers, and amount. Use this when you want bigger groups to compound their discount but want the discount to be smaller for child seats than for adult seats.

Step 3 — Verify on a test booking

Promo Code

1. Open a trip in a private browser window. Reach the Payment step.
2. Type the code → click Apply.
3. The summary updates with the discount line. Status: applied.
4. Complete checkout → booking detail shows the discount.

Group Only

1. Open the trip. Reach the Traveler counts step.
2. Bump the traveler count above the group threshold.
3. The discount auto-applies — the Payment summary shows it as a line item with the Group Discount badge.
4. No code field is needed.

Promo + Group

1. As Promo Code above — type the code.
2. AS Group Only — increase travelers above the threshold.
3. Both discounts stack into a combined Group Discount line item.

How discounts stack with other features

Feature in play	Behaviour
Multiple promo codes	Only one code can be active per booking. The latest applied wins.
Promo + Group on a multi-category booking	Yatra applies the category-based rates internally and sums them into one line.
Dynamic Pricing also matching	Default: both discounts come off the trip's catalog price (additive — customer-friendliest). See "How Dynamic Pricing and discounts combine" below.
Additional Services attached	Services are added after the trip-price discount — they're never discounted.

How Dynamic Pricing and discounts combine

When both Dynamic Pricing and an Advanced Discount apply to the same booking, by default Yatra calculates both reductions against the trip's catalog (regular) price, then subtracts both from what the customer pays. This is the customer-friendliest behaviour and matches how most travel sites stack discounts.

Worked example — Trip catalog price $149/adult, Dynamic Pricing saves $17.88/adult (early bird), Group Discount 9%, 8 adults booked:

Line	Amount
Catalog price per adult	$149.00
Dynamic Pricing saving	−$17.88
Price per adult shown in the booking sidebar	$131.12
× 8 adults	$1,048.96
+ Additional services	$800.00
Trip Subtotal	$1,848.96
Group Discount: 9% × catalog ($149 × 8 = $1,192)	−$107.28
Subtotal (taxable)	$1,741.68

The Group Discount percentage is applied to $1,192 (the catalog base), not $1,048.96 (the DP-adjusted base the customer sees on screen) — that's why the displayed discount is larger than a naive "9% of $1,048.96" mental check would suggest. The customer benefits from both savings stacking off the original price.

Want different stacking behaviour?

The Discount Stacking setting (Settings → Pricing, visible only when both Advanced Discount and Dynamic Pricing modules are enabled) lets operators switch between four modes:

• Both apply (default — the additive stacking shown above)
• Best for the customer — apply whichever single mechanism gives the larger reduction; never combine
• Discount only — when a coupon or group discount is valid, skip Dynamic Pricing for that booking
• Dynamic Pricing only — when a DP rule fires, ignore the discount

Pick the policy that matches how your business prefers to communicate pricing.

On the booking detail page

The booking's Payment Summary shows the discount as a negative line under the trip base price:

Trip Base Price (10 × $99) ........ $990.00
Group Discount (10+ travelers) .... −$148.50  (15% off)
Subtotal .......................... $841.50

The Discount Applied sidebar also shows the type (Coupon vs Group), the code (if any), and the savings amount.

Troubleshooting

Group discount doesn't auto-apply — make sure the discount status is Publish. Group discounts respect Valid From / Expiry Date like promo codes do. Also confirm the traveler count meets the Group Discount Min Size.

Customer types a code but it doesn't apply — check status (must be Publish, not Draft), expiry, usage limits, and Applicable To (the trip they're booking must be in the allowed list).

Discount doubled — only one promo code applies per booking. If you're seeing two, one is likely a Group Discount that's stacking — that's expected.

Category-based tiers aren't kicking in — verify each tier's min travelers / max travelers covers the actual traveler count. A booking with 8 travelers won't trigger a 6–7 tier; you need an 8–10 tier or wider range.
