Item Discount

Name and reward type

The item discount is the most widely used discount and is applied every day in one form or another. When applying a discount to a single item or a group of items, select the “Item discount” from the Basic discounts and create a name for the discount.

How to set the reward?

Select “All items” and choose the reward type. The default setting is 10% off. See page 9 for reward overview.

How to select items for the discount?

Use the default item set and insert the item numbers. Please note that when items are dragged over from the item list, the default empty item number field will have to be deleted before the discount can be saved.

Set the discount period

Set the validation period. When “Activate now” is pressed, the present date and time is selected by default. That can be modified, either by using the date picker or manually. The expiration date can be filled in at a later date.

Set the store rules

Optionally select which store/s the discount applies to

Remember to Save changes

Department discount

Departmental discounts are versatile and practical when it comes to moving goods through sales and special offers. Enticing discounts for item groups or certain suppliers, can be created for a short period of time and triggered by the time restriction function.

Name the discount and set the reward

Create a new title for the discount. Select “All items” and choose the reward type. The default setting is 10% off. See the reward section in Getting Started for reward overview.

Select a department or departments for the discount

Select a department from the Item/Department list and drag over to the item set. The exclusions button is visible to the right by each department.

In the above example, the department “Audio/Video” has been selected for this particular discount, a total of 3 items. Now all those items, within this department, have the designated discount.

Discount period and store rules

Set the validation period and optionally select the store/s the discount applies to.

How to EXCLUDE items from the department discount?

See next section.

Department Discount with exclusions

When items within a department are not to be included in a particular discount, the exclusion rule can be applied.

After selecting a department, press the Exclusions button located to the right of the department name and the exclusion field will open up.

In this discount for Department 3030 Audio/Video, ALL items from that department will be included in the discount, EXCEPT for the one item listed on the right hand side.

In the green field on the left, the selected department can be seen, and in the red field the exclusion for that department is clearly visible. More items can be added to the one on the right, which is already to be excluded from department nr. 3030.

  • Use the tool at the bottom of the item list to find the items needed.

  • Use the search box to assist in the search.

  • Use the preview button to see what has been chosen for this discount.

What to do if these buttons light up?

These buttons will light up at the top of the page if the discount has validation errors. Press the yellow button to view the error/s. Look for an empty item number field or something having to do with the discount period to correct the error.

How to save the discount?

Press the “Save changes” button to save the changes when the discount is ready. Use “Revert changes” whenever changes need to be disregarded.

Use the tool below the item list to search the items needed.
