Discounts

Resolut supports various type of discounts on a single item or group of items (also known as promotions, multisales or multibuys) or on the whole receipt. Discounts can be automatically applied by scanning a product, by scanning a loyalty card, or manually.

Discounts can be configured in the ERP or accounting system, portal or backoffice where the product assortment is kept, and those discounts will be applied automatically.

For single products an amount or percentage discount can be set. For promotions various type of combinations can be configured in the discount engine, for example:

•buy 3 products and get % or € discount

•buy 3 products from a group or list of products and get discounts

•buy 4 and get 1 free, or buy 5 and get the 2 cheapest products free

•buy 3 products from a list or group for 10 euro

•buy one product from group A and another product from group B and get a discount

There are a few options to trigger manual discounts by commands:

Parameter	Description
`AppDiscount`	Select or type a percentage discount to apply on the selected item.
`AppSetDiscount`	Set a percentage discount to the select product, the parameter is the discount percentage.
`AppSetPerishableDiscount`	In fact the same as AppSetDiscount, but this is only allowed on perishable products (tht).
`AppTicketDiscount`	Sets a discount for the receipt, this can be either e percentage or amount. A percentage discount is given to every single product, an amount is divided equally over all products on the receipt.*
`AppLoyalty`	It is possible to manually apply a loyalty card to the receipt by using the AppLoyalty command. This needs configuration of the loyalty card and configuration of discount schema’s.

*The parameters of this command have 3 fields: description|value|type where value is the percentage of amount, type 0 means amount and type 1 means percentage. For example: Xmas promotion|10|1 which gives 10% discount on the receipt.

Note: The ticket discount does not apply on ‘protected’ products, which are products that can get discount. For example, an iPad does not qualify for discounts, so buying an iPad and iPad cover with 10% ticket discount might result in a 1000 euro sale with only 6 euro discount on the cover, instead of 160 euro for both items.
