Discounts view
Discounts can be percentage or fixed price discounts.
A percentage type discount can be created and used for all products; in this case do not select any products to be discounted.
On the other hand, a fixed price discount cannot be created for all products; you need to select the products/product categories in the aforementioned step.
Click Pricing and select Discounts in the Back Office menu.
Click +Add new.
Enter the Name and (optional) Description for the discount.
(optional) If you want a specific text to be printed out when the discount is used, click the Receipt text checkbox and enter the text into the Receipt text field which is displayed.
(optional) If you want a specific reason code to be automatically used when the discount is applied at POS, click the Discount Reason checkbox, and select the reason code from the drop-down menu.
You need to create a reason code first to be able to select it from the drop-down menu.
Using a reason code is recommended, because only discounts with reason codes will be listed in the Discount Report view.
