Applying Discounts

There are three ways to apply discounts with your point-of-sale and/or your online ordering website.

There are 3 basic ways to apply discounts:

Line-Item Discount
Manual Discounts
Automatic Discounts

Note: The level of permission granted to an employee relating to discounts will affect what discounts they can apply to an order. See the Register Permissions section of the Employee Permissions Breakdown article for the specific discount permissions and their application.

Line-Item Discounts

Line-Item Discounts are used when you need to discount a specific item in an order. Line items can be discounted by percentage or by dollar amount.

Note: Employees need the Custom Item Discount permission enabled to apply a line-item discount.

Applying a Line-Item Discount:

Tap on the item in the order that requires a discount on the right-hand side of the Register screen.
