Credit Types

• Coupon - If a customer uses a coupon for a discount, you would enter the discounted amount here in the coupon field. This allows you to create the appropriate charge for your records, then apply both the payment and coupon discount at the same time. The coupon amount will be added to the total of the payment.
• House - House credits are generally reserved for comps or preferred customers. This indicates that the gym provided the customer with general purpose credit on their account.
• Other - This credit type can be used for any credits which do not fit the description of other two credit types. For example, many iClassPro customers use this category to carry over credit from a previous software which may still be available on a family's account.
• GiftCard - This credit type is reserved to be used when issuing credit following the purchase of a Gift Certificate. Improper use of this credit type could have a negative impact on your Balance Sheet if you enable integration with QuickBooks Online.

Note: When issuing credit, you can also print or email a receipt to show that the credit was issued.
