Sometimes, students will receive a discount code they can use against the price of lessons. It could be as part of a campaign to encourage previous students to make a new purchase or perhaps as an apology if something goes wrong. Whatever the reason, students receiving a discount code is good for them and you.
Will this affect the amount I receive?
The discount is deducted from the total cost of a lesson/block of lessons on the payment page of their account. The amount you receive for these lessons does not change whether they paid the total price or a reduced rate. Any discount given to a student is absorbed by MusicTeachers and does not impact your teacher's payments negatively.
How a student uses a discount code or gift voucher
The student chooses the teacher they wish to purchase lessons with and agrees on the lessons details.
They proceed to the purchase screen by either confirming a lesson, if you have already input it into your calendar, or using the purchase lessons button to the right of your image on their dashboard or within your profile.
They either choose a single lesson or a block of lessons, then set the lesson duration required to proceed.
On the payment page, they will see the price of the lessons, the instalment options, the 'Pay by credit card' box and a 'Google Pay' box. Under this box is a drop-down arrow saying "Discount Code".
If they click the down arrow, they can see the box where their discount/gift card code can be input.
Once input, the final price is reduced by the amount of their code. Should the total cost be lower than their discount code/gift voucher, they can save the remaining sum for a future purchase.
