Deals are the promotions guests see on your site: happy hours, prix fixe nights, trivia specials, one-off events. Each deal has a title, a description, an optional image, and a schedule that tells guests when it runs.
Create a deal
Open Deals & Promos from the dashboard sidebar.
Click Add Deal.
Enter a Deal title (the only required field) and a Description.
Upload a Deal Image (JPG, PNG, or WebP) if you have one.
Pick a Type and, if it applies, a Discount Value.
Choose a Schedule, Recurring or Specific Date, and fill in the days or date and the times.
Leave Active on to show the deal when you publish, or switch it to Draft.
Optionally turn on Add to calendar, then click Add Deal.
Schedules
- Recurring: repeats every week. Tick the Active Days (Mon to Sun) and set a Start Time and End Time, such as weekdays 4 to 6pm for happy hour.
- Specific Date: a single Date with optional start and end times, for one-day events.
Active and draft
New deals start Active. To pause one, click its row, switch the Active toggle to Draft, and click Save Changes; switch it back the same way. The deals table shows each deal’s image, type, discount, schedule, and status. Use Columns to choose what it shows, the search box to find a deal by title or description, and Delete to remove the deals you’ve ticked.
Add to calendar
Turn on Add to calendar on a deal and its deal page gets an Add to calendar button with two choices: Google Calendar, or an Apple / Outlook (.ics) file. A Specific Date deal saves that date; a Recurring deal saves a weekly repeating event on its active days. The option is off for every new deal.
Where deals show
- Home page: a Specials & Deals section with a card for each active deal, plus a link to view them all. The section is hidden when you have no active deals.
- Deals page: every active deal on one page, each linking to its own page.
- Deal pages: each deal gets a page with its image, schedule, and the Add to calendar button when it’s on. The address comes from the deal title; if you rename the deal, the old address forwards to the new one.
Publish
Deal changes save to your dashboard as you make them. Click Publish on the Deals & Promos page to push them, along with your other saved changes, to your live site. See Publishing.
Tips
- Use Recurring schedules for standing promos so you never have to re-create them.
- Give each deal a strong photo. It leads the deal card and the deal page, and shows in link previews when guests share it.
- Done with a deal for now? Switch it to Draft rather than deleting it, so next season is one click away.
- After a one-day event, switch the deal to Draft and publish so it doesn’t linger on your site.
