Time-window promos: Happy hour discounts

When to use time-window restrictions

Use them when you want to drive demand into off-peak slots:

• Happy hour: Mon-Fri, 4pm-6pm, 20% off all drinks
• Tuesday Tune-up: Every Tuesday, 15% off mechanic services
• Slow Sunday: Sundays only, free coffee with any booking

The promo is automatically rejected at checkout outside the window — you don't have to remember to pause/unpause.

How to set it up

1. Days — tap one or more day pills (Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat). Empty = all days valid.
2. From — start time in 24-hour format (e.g., 16:00 for 4pm). Empty = no start restriction.
3. To — end time (e.g., 18:00 for 6pm). Empty = no end restriction.

Combine freely:

• Days only: valid all day on selected days
• Time only: valid every day during selected hours
• Both: valid only on selected days during selected hours

Time zones

Times are evaluated in your business's timezone (set in Settings → Business). A customer's local time doesn't matter — what matters is the time at the business.

So a Sydney café running "happy hour 4-6pm" gives the discount to a customer browsing from London at 7am Sydney time → rejected because it's 7am at the business, not 4-6pm.

What customers see

Outside the window, the code is rejected with a specific message:

• Wrong day: "This code is only valid on certain days of the week."
• Wrong time: "This code is only valid during certain hours."

Examples

Happy hour: Days = Mon-Fri, From = 16:00, To = 18:00

Weekend brunch: Days = Sat-Sun, From = 09:00, To = 14:00

Late-night menu: Days = Thu-Sat, From = 22:00, To = 02:00 (note: midnight wrap-around isn't supported yet — split into two promos if you need this)
