Additional Discounts

Your system is designed to use Customer Discounts, Sales, and Promotions to offer your customer the best deal. However, on top of those discounts, you may choose to offer an additional discount.

For example, you may be selling some items 25% off (by using Sales or Promotions), and if anyone spends $500 on one transaction (before taxes and shipping), you'd like to offer them 10% off. To give them that extra 10% off, use Additional Discounts.

Additional Discounts requires the sub-total to be equal to or greater than a set threshold. 

Go to Settings.

Under the Promotions Heading, choose Additional Discounts.

There are three types of additional discount:
By Percentage (If the sub-total is equal to or greater than the set threshold, give a percentage off the order)
By Dollar Amount (If the sub-total is equal to or greater than the set threshold, give a dollar amount off the order)
Reward Item (If the sub-total is equal to or greater than the set threshold, add an item to the order and set the price of that item to $0.00)
