Click the Discounts tab.
You can apply a discount from the POS view to one or more of the products added to a sale, including applying the discount to partial quantities of a product. You apply the discount to the product price in one of two ways: (1) as a percentage of the product price or (2) as a dollar amount.
You can also use the product discount function to charge $0.00 for a product by applying a discount of 100%. If the total amount of the sale transaction is also $0.00, you can accept only cash as the payment type. $0.00 products are considered "sold" and therefore affect inventory counts as normal.
NOTE: Product discounts can be applied in combination with other types of discounts, including sale transaction discounts, pricing group discounts and promotional discounts. For more help, especially on the order in which discounts are applied, see Discounts: Guidelines, Tips and Examples.
You can apply a discount to a product after it is added to the sale or at the time of adding it to the sale.
