hi there,
we want to introduce a “Happy Hour” for our customers. So for example, every first friday each month between 17:00 - 20:00 a 25% discount on some machines.
Is there a way to do this in fabman?
Thanks in advance!
Yes and no.
Yes, you can easily add a permission that gives some (or all) members a discount on some (or all) machines on a particular weekday and/or at a particular time:
But no, you cannot automatically do this only for the first Friday each month. You would either have to manually add and remove the discount at the start of each month or automate that by using our API (via POST /packages/{id}/permissions and DELETE /packages/{id}/permissions/{permissionId}).
Thanks for the answer and the hint to the permissions API.
Just one other question:
If we have this discount for our happy hour event enabled, how will it affect prices of running machines?
For example, if one machine in running 8 hours (Start at 10:00 - until 18:00) and during that time, the discount is enabled for 4h (between 14:00 and 18:00) - will it grant the discount for a partial time?
No, Fabman currently applies whatever discount is valid when the activity starts.
