Give a discount at checkout
Give a discount on the whole sale with a cart discount, or lower the price of one line. How it works, and which permissions you need.
At checkout you give a discount in two ways: on the whole sale, or on one line by lowering its price. You see both in the summary before the client pays.
How discounts work
- A Cart discount is a percentage or a fixed amount off the whole sale. A percentage cannot be more than 100%, a fixed amount not more than the subtotal.
- If you lower the price of a line, the line says Manually lowered. If you raise it, it says Manually raised.
- At the bottom of the cart you see Manual discount and Cart discount separately, above the Subtotal and the Tax.
- When an appointment comes into the till, its line takes the appointment's price, including a discount you already gave in the calendar.
- A tip percentage is worked out over the amount after discount.
Add a cart discount
- Put the services and products in the cart.
- At the bottom, click the three dots (More) next to Proceed to payment. You see Quick actions. On your phone this menu opens at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose Add cart discount.
- Choose Percentage or Fixed amount and fill in the value. You see the Discount amount straight away.
- Click Apply.
To remove the cart discount again, choose Add cart discount once more and click the bin icon next to Apply.
Change the price of one line
- Click the line in the cart, or its pencil (Edit).
- Change the amount under Price. You see straight away how much manual discount or price increase you apply. Reset puts the original price back.
- Check the Item total and click Apply.
