Unlock Savings with the New Discount Module: A Powerful Tool for Your Business
We’re excited to introduce the Discount Module—a dynamic feature that allows businesses to offer savings through customizable discount codes. Whether you want to provide special promotions or rewards to loyal customers, the Discount Module streamlines the process of creating and applying discount codes in your system. Here’s everything you need to know about this powerful tool and how it can benefit your business.
Key Features of the Discount Module
- Custom Discount Code Creation
The Discount Module empowers your team to create and manage unique Discount Codes. Whether it’s a promotional discount or a special customer loyalty offer, the system allows you to configure codes that best suit your business needs. - Flexibility in Discount Application
Discounts can be applied during the costing process or when modifying a package during pickup. This ensures that you can offer savings at critical points in your workflow. However, it’s important to note that each package can only have one discount code applied at a time, ensuring clear and manageable pricing. - Configurable Discount Types
The module supports percentage-based and fixed-amount discounts, depending on how the discount code is configured. This flexibility means that whether you want to offer a flat discount or a percentage off, you can tailor the code to your specific campaign or customer needs. - Targeted Discounting
Discounts can be applied to specific items or the total amount of a transaction, giving you the ability to control where and how savings are offered. This is especially useful when creating promotions for specific products or services. - Expiry Dates for Discounts
If you’re running a time-sensitive promotion, you can configure your discount codes with an expiration date, allowing you to automatically limit the validity of the discount. This feature can also be turned off if the discount should be permanent. - Customer-Specific Discounting
While discounts aren’t customizable per customer in the current version, you can easily configure discounts during the costing process, ensuring that each customer receives the correct discount during package pickup. - Restricting Discount Use
The system allows you to set exclusions for discount codes, ensuring they are only applied when appropriate. For example, discounts can be excluded from certain items or combinations, helping you maintain consistent pricing across the board. - User Access Control
The ability to create and apply discounts is restricted to administrators, ensuring that only authorized personnel can manage discount codes. This adds a layer of security and control to your pricing strategies. - Transparent Discount Application
During the pickup process, agents can clearly inform customers about the discounts applied to their packages, and customers can view the discount details directly in their customer portal. This ensures transparency and builds trust with your clientele.
Benefits for Your Business
- Streamlined Promotions:
- The Discount Module makes it easy to create and manage promotional offers without disrupting your business operations. Whether you’re offering a seasonal sale or a discount for loyal customers, you can easily integrate these discounts into your workflow.
- Increased Customer Satisfaction:
- By providing transparent and easy-to-understand discounts, you foster a sense of trust and value. Customers appreciate knowing they’re receiving the best deal possible, which can drive customer loyalty and repeat business.
- Efficient Pricing Control:
- The ability to manage discounts directly within the application means that your team doesn’t need to juggle multiple systems. You’ll have all your discount information in one place, making pricing adjustments more efficient and accurate.

- With the ability to set expiration dates, you can manage limited-time offers with ease. This can help generate urgency and boost sales during peak promotional periods.
- Clear Financial Tracking:
- Discounts are integrated with the system’s accounting and sales processes, making it easier to track the impact of promotions on your bottom line. You’ll also have a clear view of how discounts are affecting your sales batches and financial documents.
How to Use the Discount Module
Getting started with the Discount Module is simple. Here’s a basic guide on how to create and apply discount codes:
- Creating a Discount Code
Administrators can create new discount codes within the system by specifying the type (percentage or fixed amount), the discount value, and the applicable timeframe (if any). You can also set restrictions and exclusions at this stage. - Applying a Discount Code
Once the discount code is created, agents or costing managers can manually apply the code during the costing process or when modifying a package during pickup. The discount will automatically adjust the pricing according to the code’s specifications. - Managing Expiration and Restrictions
Discounts can be configured to expire on a set date. You can also configure exclusions to ensure discounts aren’t applied where they shouldn’t be. - Viewing Discounts
Customers will be able to see the discount applied to their transaction directly in the customer portal, where they can review their adjusted pricing. - Tracking Discount Usage
Currently, the system doesn’t have a built-in tracking feature for discount usage, but this will be available in future updates. In the meantime, administrators can manually track the impact of discounts using the accounting and sales documents.
Looking Ahead
The Discount Module is continuously evolving. Future updates will include discount usage tracking, advanced reporting, and integration with other parts of your business to provide even more insights and control over your promotions.
We’re committed to improving this feature to ensure it meets the growing needs of your business.
