Product Discounts Overview
Product discounts are a great way to:
• Encourage the purchase of multiple items.
• Provide staff members with discounts on their purchases.
Discount Types in Core
Over Cost: This type applies a flat rate or percentage added to the wholesale cost. Note that the wholesale cost must be set for the product in Core to use this option.
Off Retail: This type applies a discount directly off the retail price, allowing for a straightforward percentage or dollar-based reduction for customers.
Example Transactions
10% Over Cost Discount
Product Y: Priced at $20.00 with a wholesale cost of $12.00.
Discount: 10% over cost.
Calculation: $12.00 (wholesale) + $1.20 (10% of $12.00) = $13.20.
Final Price for Staff Member: $13.20.
$3 Over Cost Discount
Product Z: Priced at $20.00 with a wholesale cost of $12.00.
Discount: $3 over cost.
Calculation: $12.00 (wholesale) + $3.00 = $15.00.
Final Price for Staff Member: $15.00.
Steps to Create a Product Discount
Name: Enter a descriptive name for the discount (e.g., “Staff Discount” or “Bundle Discount”).
Amount: Specify the discount value as a percentage or dollar amount.
Product Discount Type: Choose between “Over Cost” or “Off Retail” based on your pricing strategy.
Description: Add a short description of the discount to provide context for how it should be used or who it’s intended for.
Important Notes for "Over Cost" Discounts:
Products with No Wholesale Cost Entered
If an “over cost” discount is applied to a product with no wholesale cost set (or with a cost of $0.00), the system defaults to charging the normal retail price without any discount.
Discounted Price Exceeding Normal Price
If the calculated discounted price exceeds the product’s normal retail price, the system will charge the normal retail price instead. Example:
Product X: Priced at $10.00 with a wholesale cost of $8.00.
Discount: 33% over cost.
Calculation: $8.00 (wholesale) + $2.64 (33% of $8.00) = $10.64.
Since $10.64 exceeds the retail price of $10.00, the system charges $10.00 (normal price) instead.
