How to give a discount in ChecKmate POS

This guide covers a discount on the whole order. To discount just one item, see How to add line-item discounts.

Step 1: Press Add Discount

With the items in the cart, press Add Discount under the cart.

Step 2: Choose Percentage or Fixed Amount

On the Discount tab, choose Percentage (for example 10% off) or Fixed Amount (for example J$100 off). You can tap one of the quick buttons - 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% - or type the value on the keypad.

Step 3: Apply it

Check the amount shown under the value - here 10% comes to $95.50 - and press Apply Discount.

The discount appears under Applied Discounts & Charges and the total drops. To take it off, press the bin beside it.

Set how much each role can give (owners and admins)

Go to Settings > Financial > Discounts and scroll to Discount Controls. In the By role table, set each role's Max discount percentage, whether they may give Fixed amounts, and the Max fixed amount. Press Save on each row you change.

Good to know

• Customers in a customer group get the group's discount automatically - you do not need to add it yourself.
• The other tabs in the discount window cover service charges, loyalty points, gift cards, store credit, bundles, campaigns, coupons and referrals.
• Every discount is recorded against the cashier who gave it and shows in the Discount report.
