Automatic Discounts are discounts that apply automatically to items or categories in the Register based on predefined parameters set in the BackOffice. These discounts can be percentage-based or fixed-dollar amounts and are often used for promotions or happy hour discounts.

To learn more about how to create Automatic Discounts in the BackOffice see the Create Automatic Discounts article.

How Automatic Discounts Work

  1. Automatic Application: Once configured in the BackOffice, automatic discounts will apply to eligible items or categories in the Register without any manual input.

  2. Discount Rules: Admins can set rules based on item categories, date ranges, days of the week, and time of day to determine for when the discount applies.

  3. Discount Types: The discounts can be set as either a percentage or a fixed amount.

Automatic Discounts simplify the checkout process by ensuring discounts are applied consistently and without the need for staff to manually apply them each time. They are ideal for sales events, happy hours, or special promotions.
