Sibling discounts are one of the most common types of discount. Here are the common settings and what you need to know:
Sibling discounts use the person unit and are used to discount multiple siblings signing up for the same, or for different products.
Progressive Sibling Discounts
The most common sibling discount is to charge less money for each additional sibling.
In this example we set up a 10% discount for the second child, and any additional siblings that book on
- The first person pays the normal product price (and so we do not not need to include a range '1' representing the first person)
- The second receives 10% off
- Each additional sibling received 10% off
- By leaving the "Range max" empty, we can have the discount continue to apply evenly to all siblings beyond the third
You would set up this discount as below:
Volume Sibling Discounts
If you wish to have the discount apply to the total price, if a parent is to book two children on at once, you can simply change the discount type to 'Volume' and the discount will be applied to the total.
For example, if two or more siblings sign up, they each receive a 10% discount:

Applying the Discount to your Products
You would apply the discount to you products as normal. If your discount is only to apply to a single product, you can use the standard "Add discount" button to apply the discount to that class only.
If the discount applies across multiple different products (for example, one child is in the Under 7s and another in the Under 10s), make sure to use the "Add multi-product discount" at the group level, and to have all relevant products in one group.
