Enable Cash Discounts

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.

Enable a Cash 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.
Optionally, enable and add a Cash Payment Receipt Message:. This message prints on cash payment customer receipts.
Optionally, enable and add a Non-Cash Payment Receipt Message:. This message prints on non-cash payment customer receipts.
- Tip! Use the provided variables when you customize your receipts. The variable {%disc} includes the percentage discount applicable to the tender type. The variables {$disc} and {dollar} include the total discount dollar amount applicable to the tender type. The variable {tender} includes the tender type used in this transaction.
Tap Save to save your work.
