How Credits Are Applied at Checkout

Updated today

Credits from memberships and punch passes are not applied automatically at checkout.

Instead, customers must manually choose whether—and how many—credits they want to apply to their booking.

This article explains exactly how that works.

Credits Are Always Applied Manually

When a customer reaches checkout, Birrdi will not auto-apply credits on their behalf.

Instead, customers will see a selectable field labeled:

  • Membership Credits
    or

  • Punch Pass Credits

This field appears only if the customer has available credits that are eligible for the booking.

Your Rates Control When Credits Can Be Used

Whether credits are available at checkout is determined by your rate configuration.

You control:

  • Days of the week credits can be used

  • Specific dates credits are valid

  • Times of day credits are allowed (e.g. mornings or late evenings only)

  • Whether credits apply to:

    • Public rates

    • Member rates

    • Lessons

If a rate is not configured to accept credits at that time, the credit option will not appear at checkout, even if the customer has available credits.

💡 Example:
If you only want credits to be used during off-peak hours, simply configure your rates to allow credits during those times.


What the Customer Sees at Checkout

At checkout, the customer can:

  1. Click into the Membership Credits or Punch Pass Credits field

  2. Choose how many credits they want to apply

  3. Apply those credits to reduce the booking cost

The total price updates immediately based on the number of credits selected.

Customers can choose to apply their available credits—depending on your settings.


How Many Credits Can Be Applied?

The number of credits a customer can apply is controlled entirely by your configuration.

This depends on:

  • The membership settings (if using membership credits)

  • The punch pass settings (if using punch pass credits)

  • Any restrictions you’ve set on:

    • Eligible rates

    • Time windows

    • Credit limits per booking

Birrdi will enforce these rules automatically at checkout.


Important Clarification

  • ❌ Credits do not auto-apply

  • ✅ Customers must explicitly select credits during checkout

  • ✅ Customers will always see a clear field showing available credits

  • ✅ Final credit usage is determined by your membership or punch pass rules

This ensures customers stay in control of when and how their credits are used.


Why Credits Work This Way

Manual credit application:

  • Prevents accidental credit usage

  • Allows customers to save credits for future bookings

  • Supports partial credit usage

  • Works consistently across memberships and punch passes
