After you create a promo code in the Discounts screen, you can add it to a text marketing message to send to your customers to apply toward purchases on the Vagaro Listing Page. You can later run the Transaction List report to see how many customers have used your promo code or discount.
If the customer is receiving a text message from you for the first time, they will be given the option to opt out of marketing related messages from your business.
