How to Create a New Auto-Apply Special
Select "Specials" from the left side of the navigation menu.
Select the "+" sign in the upper right corner.
This will open the "Add New Specials" screen:
Here you can enter the name of your special and other options.
No Limits | Limits - This allows you to limit how many times a special can be redeemed.
Active | Inactive - This allows you to toggle the special between active and inactive. When inactive, the special will not apply.
Applicable Customer Type - Choose which customers and customers can redeem the special.
Inventory Category - Specials can be applied to specific products. This allows you to search your inventory and select a specific product. If not chosen, the special will apply to the entire cart.
Auto Apply | Code - This switches the special type.
$ | % - "Type of Discount" gives the option for the special to be a cash/dollar discount special or a percentage discount. Switching between "Cash" and "Percent" will change the text field to the right to match.
Select a date range, along with the listed days of the week, to schedule the availability of the special.
Once you've made your selections, choose "Save" and you will be able to see your special listed.
Auto-Apply Example:
I want to make a special that will apply a 20% discount for all of my edible products every Monday. I want this special to be available to all my customers, and I do not want my budtenders to enter a code each time.
Here is how I can make this special. I can leave many of the options on their default setting. Only changing the following:
I named my special "Munchie Monday."
Selected "Edible" from the Inventory Category option.
In the "Type of Discount" text field, I entered "20."
I unchecked every day of the week except for Monday.
After clicking "Save," this special will auto-apply to all edibles on Mondays.
