How to Apply Discounts

On POS app > New Sale

Discount types

  • SmartSell POS (Point of Sale) system includes two types of discount functions: "total discount" and "line/item discount."

  • The "total discount" function allows businesses to apply a discount to the entire purchase or transaction. This type of discount is usually expressed as a percentage or a fixed amount and is applied to the total bill at the end of the transaction. It is a great way for businesses to offer promotions, sales, or special discounts to their customers.

  • On the other hand, the "line/item discount" function allows businesses to apply discounts to specific products or items within a transaction. With this function, businesses can offer discounts on individual items, specific categories, or even a combination of products. Line/item discounts can be expressed as a percentage off, a fixed amount reduction.
