Discount presets

The Discounts tab is a small but useful section: pre-configured discount templates you apply at the till with one click.

What you configure

Each preset:

• Name: e.g., "Student 10%", "Senior 15%", "Staff 20%"
• Description: optional internal note
• Type: percentage OR fixed amount
• Value: the percent or amount
• Active / inactive: toggle off without deleting
• Order: shows up at the till in this order

How you use it at the till

During a sale, before finishing:

1. "Add discount" button
2. Pick from presets
3. Discount applies immediately

Custom (off-preset) discounts are possible via "Custom", but presets are 90% faster.

Use case scenarios

Scenario 1: Standard salon presets

A salon at launch sets 5 presets: "Student 10%", "Senior 15%", "Staff 20%", "Returning 5%", "Custom" (one-off). Covers most cases.

Scenario 2: Seasonal discount

For February, add a "Valentine 10%" preset. March 1st, deactivate. Current presets stay clean.

Scenario 3: Refer-a-friend automation

"Friend referral 20%" preset automates the refer-a-friend discount. Reception just clicks, no manual math.

Scenario 4: Complaint resolution

Customer complains about a past service. At the till, apply "Goodwill 15%" preset with note ("Past complaint, makeup"). Auditable, not random.

Tips

• 5-10 presets is the sweet spot: more than that, reception can't find them.
• Use descriptive names: "Senior 15%" beats "P3".
• Order by frequency: most-used at top.
• Presets don't replace strategy: if every customer gets a discount, it's not a discount, just a lower price.
• Discount preset and promo code are different: preset is one-off at the till, promo code is automated, code-based campaign.
