# Discount groups (/en/businesses/discount-groups)





> **Discount groups are no longer recommended.** [Memberships](/businesses/shop/memberships) offer a more flexible and powerful way to manage discounts and benefits for your customers. Discount groups remain available for existing configurations — contact support if memberships don't cover your use case.

Discount groups let you offer reduced pricing to specific customers. Find them under **Settings → Discount groups**.

## Creating a discount group [#creating-a-discount-group]

Click **Create discount group** to open the two-step wizard.

### Step 1: Basic details [#step-1-basic-details]

* **Name** — visible to both customers and employees.
* **Validity time** — how long a customer's membership in this group stays active. Set to 0 for indefinite validity (never expires), or choose 1–12 months.

Click **Next step**.

### Step 2: Benefits [#step-2-benefits]

Each group can have one or more benefits. Click **Add benefit** to add one.

For each benefit, enter a name and choose a type:

* **Reservation discount** — reduces the reservation price by a percentage or a fixed amount. Optionally restrict the discount to specific sports, resources, booking durations, time slots, date ranges, or days of the week.
* **Reservation custom pricing** — replaces standard pricing with a fully custom price. Only one custom pricing benefit is allowed per group.

Click **Create discount group** to save.

1. Go to **Customers** and open the customer's profile.
2. Select the **Discount groups** tab.
3. Click **Add to group** next to the relevant group.
