SwipeSimple Admin* users can create discounts, and apply them to a transaction when creating a sale. Once the discount(s) is selected, it will be applied to the transaction as a whole, and is always applied before sales tax (if enabled) is calculated.
Discount information will be displayed on both digital and printed receipts.
To create a discount, an Admin* user will create it on the SwipeSimple mobile app or web dashboard. Once created, users sharing the same merchant account will be able to access it.
To view the list of available discounts, tap on the Catalog tab, and Discounts on the left panel.
