Create a discount

Discounts can be easily added to the till screen in a similar way to adding products. These discounts can cater to various needs such as:

• Percentage Off
• Fixed Amount Off
• Set Price

Follow these steps to create a new discount:

Step 1: Create a New Discount

1. Navigate to the discount section and click on “New” to begin creating a new discount.
2. You will now be able to enter the details of the discount.

Step 2: Configure the Discount

1. Name the Discount: Assign a recognisable name to the discount. This helps when you need to add it to a till screen for quick access.
2. Discount Value:
   • If you want flexibility, set the “Discount Value” to 0 and tick the “Show Keypad” option. This allows clerks to enter a custom percentage when applying the discount.
   • Alternatively, you can create a fixed percentage discount by entering a specific value into “Discount Value” and unticking the "Show Keypad" option.

Step 3: Add the Discount to the Till Screen

1. To make the discount accessible, add it to your screen:
   • We recommend placing discounts on the payment page for easy access.
   • If you have many discounts, consider creating a separate page for discounts. Pages can also be restricted to managers for security.
2. To add the discount to the screen: 
   • Select an empty button on the screen.
   • Click “Search” and find the discount by its name.
   • Press “Add to Button” to apply the discount to the button.
3. You’ll notice that the Button Text is filled automatically with the discount name. If the text is too long, you can shorten it. This will only change how it appears on the screen, not the actual function.

Step 4: Save and Apply Changes

1. Once you've made your adjustments, click “Save & Close”.
2. Go to the till and wait for three minutes for the changes to sync.
3. Press “Refresh Data” to apply the changes.
