Discounts and combos, set up once and for all
Create an automatic discount, a promo code or a fixed-price combo in the web app. The till and the SOS Bouffe ordering app apply them, and your online store benefits from the automatic discounts and combos. The amount is always recalculated by the server.
A discount that fits
A discount is given as a percentage or in dollars, on the whole cart or on specific items. It covers all your products, a few items or whole categories, and applies before or after tax.
You set a start date and, if needed, an end date, to the hour. A minimum purchase or a maximum discount amount keeps the promotion within the limits you want.
- Percentage or amount, on the cart or the item
- All products, some items or categories
- Before or after tax
- Start and end dates, minimum purchase, cap
Automatic, picked from a list or with a code
An automatic discount applies by itself as soon as the sale qualifies. A public discount is picked from a list, at the till or in the ordering app. An exclusive discount stays hidden: it takes its promo code.
You limit the total number of uses or the number per customer, and the Discounts page counts uses as they happen. When an order is cancelled or a sale fully refunded, the use is given back. Priority sets the order of discounts, and a non-cumulative discount does not combine with others.
- Automatic, public or exclusive with a code
- Total limit and per-customer limit
- Usage counter
- Priority, and discounts that stack or not
Fixed-price combos
A combo groups products at a fixed price. Each slot in the combo can offer a choice — one drink out of three — and every slot must be filled. When the cart holds the combo, InnoBooks recognises it and gives the difference between the products' price and the combo price.
A combo that would save nothing is flagged before it is saved.
- One fixed price for a set
- Choices in each slot
- Recognised in the cart on its own
- Warning for a combo that saves nothing
At the till, in the app and online
At the till, on the tablet or in the browser, you apply a discount from the list, enter a promo code, or give a dollar discount on the cart, before or after tax.
In the SOS Bouffe ordering app, the customer sees the discounts on offer and enters their code. On your online store, automatic discounts and combos apply on their own; a simple percentage discount shows the crossed-out price, and the catalog filters to « On sale ». A promo price entered on an item's sheet, with its dates, becomes an automatic discount.
- Till: list, promo code, dollar discount
- SOS Bouffe app: discounts on offer and code
- Online store: automatic discounts and combos
- Crossed-out price and « On sale » filter
The amount, always checked by the server
Neither the till nor the customer decides a discount's amount: the server recalculates it on every sale. A promo code that became unusable in the meantime — expired, limit reached — is refused before the card is charged. And the total usage limit holds, even when two sales go through at the same time.
- Amount recalculated by the server
- Code refused before payment if no longer valid
- Total limit respected, even at the same time
On the receipt and in your reports
The receipt shows a « Rabais » (discount) line before the subtotal, or an « Ajustement » (adjustment) after the total for an after-tax discount, and the transaction reported to MEV-WEB carries the discount.
In the web app, the receipt list adds up the discounts and gives the net subtotal; the PDF receipts report has its « Rabais » column.
- « Rabais » line on the receipt
- The discount in the MEV-WEB transmission
- Total discounts in the receipt list
- « Rabais » column in the receipts report
With the Point of sale option
Discounts and combos come with the Point of sale option, or with the Restaurant plan, which includes it. The administrator and the manager create them in the web app; your employees apply them at the till.
- Point of sale option or Restaurant plan
- Created by the administrator and the manager
- Applied by the whole team
