Applying Discounts in POS

There are two ways to apply a discount at the point of sale:

1. Promo Code

Type the promo code into the PROMO CODE field and click Apply (or press Enter). The system validates the code and applies the discount if it's valid.

2. Discount Dropdown

Select a discount from the dropdown menu next to the promo code field. The dropdown only shows discounts that are currently valid (active, not expired, usage limit not reached).

Applying a discount in POS

Applied Discount

Once applied, the discount appears as a green banner on the order showing the discount name, promo code badge, and the calculated savings. Click Remove to take it off.

The order summary updates to show the discount as a separate line item:

Discount applied to order

The calculation flow is:

  1. Subtotal — sum of all line items
  2. Discount — percentage of subtotal or fixed dollar amount (never exceeds the subtotal)
  3. Tax — calculated on the amount after discount
  4. Total — subtotal minus discount plus tax

Per-Line Discounts

In addition to order-level discounts, you can apply a dollar-amount discount to individual line items directly in the cart. These stack with order-level discounts.

Validation

When a discount is applied, the system checks:

  • Active — discount must be toggled on
  • Not expired — current date must be before the expiration date
  • Usage limit — must not have reached its maximum uses (usage count increments when an order is fully paid)
  • Minimum order amount — order subtotal must meet the minimum

If any check fails, an error message appears explaining why the discount can't be applied.

Discount Types

Percentage — calculates the discount as a percentage of the order subtotal. A 20% discount on a $2,199.00 subtotal gives $439.80 off.

Fixed Amount — subtracts a flat dollar amount from the subtotal. A $50.00 discount takes exactly $50.00 off (capped at the subtotal so it never goes negative).
