Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.
Creating discounts
Your task/initial situation
You would like to create a discount in JTL-POS which you can then assign to an item, customer, or receipt.
Creating a discount
- Go to Settings > Discounts to reach the Manage discounts dialogue box.
- Tap the plus icon to create a new discount. The Create/Edit discount dialogue box will open.
- Give the discount a name, such as Regular customer discount, and a description.
- Under Quantity, select whether the discount is to be granted as a Discount in % or as a Total amount to be deducted from the price. You can also select the option Personal to allow the cashier to define the amount at the checkout.
- Under Value, enter how high you want the discount to be.
Please note: For personal discounts, enter the maximum percentage that the cashier can grant as a discount during checkout.
- Under Type, select what the discount can be applied to.
Please note: For personal discounts, you can only select the Receipts type, since personal discounts can only be granted during checkout.
- Under Use, specify if the discount can be combined with other discounts and if it is to be displayed separately on receipts.
- Under Time, Days of the week, and Dates, specify the specific times at which the discount should apply. Outside this period, it will not be applied or taken into account. Enable the individual switches to configure the various options.
- Tap the ✓ icon to save the discount. You can now apply the discount to the selection you made under Type.
Please note: Read the description Granting discounts on receipts and line items to learn how to assign a discount to a receipt or item.
