Last Modified on 09/23/2021 2:40 pm EDT
To accommodate unique fee/discount structures, Jackrabbit offers several ways to discount tuition fees for a specific family when using Post Tuition Fees (Transactions menu > Post Tuition Fees).
Use the information and examples below to help you decide which option to choose.
| Family Discount Rule | Use a Family Discount Rule when the family has a discounting structure that is different than the majority of your families.
The Family Discount Rule: - can be mass updated for all families with the same rule in the Tuition Settings from the Gear (icon) > Settings menu.
- displays student and class information in the transaction line on the Transactions tab of the Family record and in the transaction history in the Parent Portal.
- is a filter option available in All Families, allowing you to search for all of your families that have a discount rule on the Billing Info tab of their Family record.
- is based on class enrollment.
- will be applied to tuition fees posted during the enrollment process within Jackrabbit.
- will be applied to tuition fees posted when students are enrolled in classes via the Parent Portal.
- can be used in conjunction with a Family Discount.
- is only applicable to classes with a Billing Method of By Class Fee.
- can't be used in conjunction with a Family Fixed Fee.
Example:
Your normal discounting structure is 5% off the 2nd class and 10% off the 3rd and higher classes, however, you offer a Gold Package membership that offers 20% off the 2nd class and 50% off the 3rd and higher classes. Learn how to work with Family Discount Rules.

| Family Discount | Use a Family Discount when a family gets a flat dollar or percentage discount on their tuition fees.
A Family Discount: - can be mass updated for families on the All Families page using the more actions menu.
