      What Is It?      ▲ ▼

      Discounts in Swiftpos are used to provide fixed or percentage reductions to Products or sales, either automatically or manually. They are set up in Back Office HERE and can apply to individual Products, Families or entire sales. Discounts are a flexible way to handle promotions, markdowns, loyalty rewards, and staff-authorised price changes.  Once configured, discounts sync to POS terminals where they can be triggered automatically or through designated POS keys.

       

      Example Scenarios      ▲ ▼

      • 10% Off a Family – Automatically apply 10% off all soft drinks during happy
        hour.
      • Fixed Dollar Discount – $2 off selected desserts.
