Whether you are running a special promotion or looking to enhance customer satisfaction, this feature offers a unique way to increase value while maintaining simplicity.

How to create the cheapest discount for our account?

Example: Buy 2 Get 1 Free

Let's say,

Item A = INR 100
Item B = INR 200
Item C = INR 50

When the above three items are added to the cart the Item C will be given 100% discount.

Please follow the below steps to create cheapest discount type,

Step 1: Create Cheapest Discount

Navigation: POS Admin (Backend) → Items → Discount → Create Discount



Enter the discount Name, Select the Location its applied on.
Enable Is POS Billing and Apply Automatically

Step 2: Buy Criteria

In buy criteria choose type Cheapest and Click Add Category



Fill in the requested details,

Category - Choose the category on which this discount should be applied.
Prerequisite value - Enter the minimum value required for the discount to be applied.

For example, we have selected the category Breakfast Cereals , type quantity and the prerequisite value as 3, by means the discount will be applied only when 3 qty of any item from breakfast cereals is added to the cart.

Step 3: Get Criteria

Choose the type Category and the click Add Category



Fill the requested details,

Category - Choose the category which was chosen on buy criteria
Select Discount Type - Fixed or Percentage
Enter Get Discount Value - Enter the discount value based on type chosen
Enter Max Discount Quantity - Enter the maximum time this discount should be applied on a single sale

For example, in the below image we have chosen the category as breakfast cereal, with discount type percentage, the discount value is 100 and max discount quantity as 1.
So when I add 3 qty of either same item or different item from this category a discount of 100 % will be applied for the cheapest item on the cart.

Applying the discount on POS frontend

When required quantity of item is added to the cart from selected category the discount will be applied to the cheapest item on cart.

For example, in the below image when 3 qty of item added from breakfast cereal a discount of 100% applied to the cheapest item on the cart (which is Fruit Loops)

Loyalty Point Expiry

This option enables merchants to set an expiry time for the loyalty points attained by customer which in turn assist on getting the customer to redeem the points within the expiry period.

How to set Loyalty Expiry?

Step 1: Enable Loyalty Point Expiration

Navigation: POS Admin (Backend) → Accounts & Settings → Admin Settings → Enable Loyalty Point Expiration

Step 2: Add Expiry Period
