Encourage your customers to pay with cash by offering a cash discount! As a retailer, restaurant, or other business, you can automatically apply a tender type discount as a percentage discount to a customer’s total purchase.
- Note: Merchants often prefer customers pay with cash. To encourage this, they offer a discount. When you enable cash discounting in Exatouch, a cash discount is applied automatically in the Register app at purchase time. You can also add discount messages to customer receipts — further incentive for customers to save money and keep coming back!
To offer cash discounts, enable Tender Type Discounts for your Register app. This discount applies to all items and services you sell when a customer pays with a tender type eligible for a discount.
- Note: Only administrative users can change settings in your Exatouch system.
- From Home, navigate to Settings > Account > and tap the Tender Discount tab. The Tender Type Discounts work area opens.
- Enter a Tender Type Discount amount in the Apply To: Cash: field as a percentage discount.
