Every invoice depends on someone's memory
Administrators have to remember which student, group, and period should receive each discount.

Manual discount tracking creates costly billing errors
For language schools and training centers, a discount recorded in a note or spreadsheet can be missed, applied to the wrong period, or become impossible to explain after the invoice is sent.
Fixed discounts are recalculated manually
Staff must distinguish a discount per lesson from one fixed amount for the whole billing period.
The final amount loses its audit trail
When staff overwrite a total, the invoice no longer explains the original charges and the applied discount.
Define each discount once and keep it visible in every invoice calculation.
Billing software for schools should keep student-specific discounts connected to course prices, attendance records, and invoice calculations.
One discount workflow from agreement to invoice
Reusable discount templates store the value, the assignment determines who receives it and when, and the invoice shows the accumulated result.
1
Create a reusable template
Set a percentage or fixed amount and choose whether it is calculated per lesson or per billing period.
2
Assign it with a start date
Assign it to the student's eligible lessons, or restrict it to a group or course, without changing the course price.
3
Verify the invoice calculation
Review gross charges, the discount total, discounted lessons, and final charges in one record.
See student discount rules in action
Watch two demo examples: Alex's discount applies only to Conversation, while Emma's 20 EUR discount is applied once across 13 eligible lessons in the billing period. The invoice keeps original charges, discounts and final period charges visible.
Manage percentage and fixed-amount discounts in one place
The discount list shows each template and its value. Assign it to a student, then limit it to a group or course if needed.
Choose a percentage or fixed-amount discount
Use a percentage or a currency amount to match the arrangement. For example, a 20 EUR discount for the billing period stays 20 EUR rather than being repeated for every lesson.
Keep the discount on the right student's lessons
Limit an arrangement to one course or group when it should not affect the student's other lessons. The discount effective date determines when it starts; previous assignments remain available for review.
- All eligible lessons, one group or one course
- Effective start date
- Optional termination date
Demo invoice example
Why is the total discount 80 EUR?
Noah Brown receives a 5 EUR discount on each of 16 eligible lessons. The invoice keeps the original 640 EUR charge visible, subtracts 80 EUR, and shows a final amount of 560 EUR.

Show the discount without hiding the original charge
The invoice keeps the original charge, total discount, and final amount together. Staff can see which discount was applied and explain the calculation without rebuilding it in a spreadsheet.
Discounts stay connected to the school billing workflow
Course prices define the gross amount, billing treatment determines which lessons are chargeable, and invoices show the active student discount.
Course prices define gross charges
Keep the base lesson price and its effective dates separate from the student's reduction.
Billing treatment determines chargeable lessons
Presence and absence are recorded separately from whether a lesson is chargeable, free or transferred. Check the billing treatment and active discount behind the charge.
