Discounts and promo codes

For Owners & managers · 4 min read · Last reviewed 2026-08-04

Two ways to take money off a sale: a manual discount a cashier applies on the spot, and a promo code you create once and staff (or customers) apply by name.

The promo codes list
Create reusable promo codes; cashiers apply them at checkout by code.

Manual discounts at checkout

On the checkout screen, apply a percentage or fixed amount to the current sale before taking payment. Good for one-off goodwill or a haggled price.

Create a promo code

  1. Open Promo codes and create a code.
  2. Choose percentage-off or a fixed amount.
  3. Cashiers apply it at checkout by entering the code; the discount stacks onto the order.

Frequently asked

Can a discount exceed the sale total?
No. Discounts are capped at the subtotal so a sale never goes negative.
