Automatic Volunteer Discounts

A volunteer discount that applies itself. Give a program a volunteer price, link it to a volunteer opportunity, and members who take a shift pay that price at checkout. No codes to email and nothing to refund.

Price applied

The shift on file brings the price

Volunteer discounts applied automatically at checkout

The usual way to reward volunteers is a spreadsheet of who helped and a coupon code emailed to each of them. In Communal, a program can carry a volunteer price. When a member who holds a shift in a linked volunteer opportunity registers for that program, checkout gives them the volunteer price.

  • One volunteer price per program, discounted or free
  • Applied when the member holds a shift in a linked opportunity
  • No coupon codes to create, send, or chase
  • Works on program registration
Shift and signup

Both booked in one checkout

Turn registrations into volunteer shifts

If a family has not signed up for a shift yet, the registration checkout offers the shifts to pick from. Taking one brings the volunteer price straight away, and the shift signup is created when the registration is paid, so the season's concession and setup shifts fill as people register.

  • Volunteer shifts shown during registration
  • The volunteer price shown as soon as a shift is picked
  • The shift signup created with the registration
  • Shifts covered before the season starts
Volunteer price

Set once per program

Set the volunteer price once per program

Add a volunteer price beside the program's other prices, then pick the volunteer opportunities that count on the program's volunteering step. If a member qualifies for more than one price, the cheapest wins, so volunteering never costs anyone more. There are no hour thresholds to track: one shift in a linked opportunity is enough.

  • A volunteer price beside the program's other prices
  • Linked opportunities picked on the volunteering step
  • The cheapest qualifying price always wins
  • One shift is enough, with no hours to count

Frequently asked questions

You give a program a volunteer price and link it to one or more volunteer opportunities. When a member who has a shift in one of those opportunities registers for the program, checkout applies the volunteer price. If they have no shift yet, checkout offers the shifts so they can take one on the spot.
