Vouchers will not work until assigned to a partner |
$ off vouchers are common with mass email campaigns where customers may have a redeemable barcode they can scan for a $ value discount.
There are no limits to the number of vouchers that an individual can use - however only one per transaction and you can set a minimum $ value required on the order.
$ value off vouchers are considered a part payment method and reduce the amount that needs to be paid similar to a credit not or other voucher.
These vouchers are common with Shopify Stores.
Discount vouchers are a scannable voucher (recognised by barcode scan in the POS) that is provided to business partners for them to pass to their customers.
It is important that
You know who you provided the discount voucher book to
The discount voucher is not usable until provided to a partner in the system
Discount vouchers applies to all purchases (products and services) - the discount is at the order level after all other discounts.
What this means in practice is that once an order discount is applied to the order no line level discounts are allowed
This is to avoid confusion
If an order for two items of $50 each = $100 order value has a discount voucher of 20% the result is a $80 order.
If one of the lines is discounted by $25 then the order value before the discount would be $75 and the order after discount would be $60.
Not $80 - $25 = $65.
So to avoid confusion the order lines cannot be discounted after the voucher has been applied.
Discount vouchers may or may not be in books of sequential numbers
Discount vouchers can be used in any retail outlet in the system
Discount vouchers may not require a physical book > for example social media use.
Social media vouchers may take a number of forms
