Product discounts
Put a product on offer — a percentage or amount off — that can start and end on dates you choose.
A product discount lowers the price for every customer at the till. Set start and end dates and it switches itself on and off.
Set up a discount
Open Stock → Products and select the pencil icon on the product.
Switch on Discount.
Choose the Type:
- Percentage — for example 10% off.
- Fixed amount — for example 5.00 off each one.
Enter the Value.
Set Starts and Ends (both optional), with a date and time.
Select Save changes.
When it applies
| Starts | Ends | The discount runs… |
|---|---|---|
| Empty | Empty | From now until you switch it off |
| Set | Empty | From the start, until you switch it off |
| Empty | Set | From now until the end |
| Set | Set | Only between the two |
When the discount isn't running, the till charges the normal sale price. You don't need to switch it off after the end date.
At the till
While the discount is running, the Point of Sale charges the reduced price and shows the normal price crossed out beside it. A discount never takes a price below zero.
Sale price 40.00, 25% off → 30.00
Sale price 40.00, 5.00 off → 35.00Good to know
- Retail only. Product discounts apply to retail sales. Wholesale sales use the wholesale price and its own wholesale discount — see Wholesale pricing.
- Invoices use the normal price. Adding a product to an invoice with From catalog fills in its sale price. Add a discount on the invoice itself if needed.
- A one-off discount for one customer is given at the till instead — see Give a discount.
