How to apply a discount in RepairDesk POS
Discounts are an important part of your sales process and provide a great incentive to your customers to shop with you. RepairDesk allows you to offer both an overall and an in-line discount to your customers. You can offer discounts either in the form of a particular amount or percentage.
Using RepairDesk, you can offer discounts on individual items on your list. This is known as an in-line discount.
Your discount will be applied to the item you have set it for only, and will not be applied for any other items. This makes it great for offering discounts on specific items. Please note that your discount is applied exclusive of tax in in-line, meaning the discounted price is calculated first, and the tax is applied on top of that.
To apply an in-line
discount, you'll first need to add items to your cart. When you have added an
item to the cart after confirming the order details, click on Discount.
Users can also add a reason while adding the discount in the specified box.
Once you have entered a discount value, click on the Save button to apply it. If you wish to cancel the discount, click on the Remove button.
Once the discount has been applied, you'll be able to see it under the price field.
You can also give an overall discount on multiple items. This discount is applied to the grand total of all the items that are in your cart. Discount applied this way are exclusive of tax, meaning that the discount is applied first, and then the tax is calculated on top of it.
To apply an overall discount, add one or more items to your cart in the POS. Once you have added all items to the cart, head to the subtotal section at the bottom.
Click on the edit button (pencil-shaped icon) next to Discount in the lower part of the screen. You will now see a numeric field, along with a drop-down menu.
Select whether you want to give a discount in percentage or amount from the drop-down menu, and enter the value in the numeric field. You can also add a reason when adding a discount here by clicking on the Add Reason button.
Once you're done here, click on the Checkout button to
proceed with the checkout process.
Now on the Payment screen, you can see that an overall discount of $10 has been applied to all items.
