Inline discounts enable budtenders or managers to apply a one-time discount directly to a cart or a specific product line without using a pre-configured deal. This provides flexibility for special customer situations while maintaining accurate pricing and ensuring data integrity compliance.
Permissions Required
For a user to apply an inline discount, they must have permission to do so. Check permissions for a Role by:
Navigating to Employees
Select Roles across the purple bar at the top
Select the Role you would like to check, then select Edit
Scroll down to the carts section and check if Apply Discounts is checked. If this box is checked, the user associated with this role can apply inline discounts.
Note: All users with access to make a sale will see the option to set up an inline discount. However, only users with the granted permission will be able to use their 4-digit PIN to approve the discount.
Apply an Inline Discount
Navigate to Cashier in Flowhub Maui.
Check in a customer and add items to the cart.
In the cart on the right, there are two ways to add inline discounts
The three dots that are stacked on top of eachother that are located next to the product will discount that particular product
Cart Discount will discount the entire cart.
On the Collect Payment screen, there is a breakdown of all the discounts.
In this example, the first customer ever! The discount is appearing multiple times on the sale breakdown. This displays each product's discount, followed by the total discount for the cart. The Banana Kush Concentrate is discounted by $10.80, and the High Tide Hoodie is discounted by $6.00, resulting in a full cart discount of $16.80.
The long line discount only applies to the product we selected in the previous step and not the entire cart.
Check the customer out like normal.
The receipt will then provide the discount breakdowns and reasons why the discount was applied.
