Discount profiles

A discount profile is a reusable percentage and audience that you can assign to several Vendors. Editing the profile updates the policy for its linked Vendors.

  1. Open Discounts and click New discount profile.
  2. Enter a recognizable Profile name.
  3. Leave Second Life group blank for everyone, or enter the intended group's UUID or supported group profile URI.
  4. Enter the Discount percentage.
  5. Keep Profile enabled on when it should be usable.
  6. Enable Apply to new Vendors only if this should be the default for future registrations.
  7. Click Create profile.

Universal versus group discounts​

AudienceCustomer requirement
EveryoneNo Second Life group membership requirement for this discount.
A specific groupThe Vendor object and the customer must use the required active Second Life group.

A dashboard Vendor Group is an organizational folder; it is not a Second Life group. A group discount also differs from Restrict this vendor to group members only, which controls purchase access.

A Product with Never discount retains its protected price. An allowed Vendor override establishes its regular price before the discount. Universal 100% discounts can make a Product free; a group-only 100% discount on a positive-price Product is not supported.

Change or stop a promotion​

  • Edit the profile to change the linked Vendors' current discount.
  • Disable a profile to stop its discount while retaining the links.
  • Archive a profile only after checking its usage: archiving detaches linked Vendors to No discount.
  • Changing the default affects future Vendor registrations, not every existing Vendor.

Completed sales retain their original amounts. See coupons for code-based offers and reports for checking results.
