How to set up frequently used discounts

You can set up discounts in Greenbits with simplicity or add a lot of conditions for a more complex discount structure.  We define these two setups in two ways: 

Simple Discounts: 

      A simple discount doesn’t contain any conditions and can be used to auto-apply very easily. 

Advanced Discounts: 

      Advanced discounts take a little bit more work. You can include conditions for item weight, tags, and product types. 

1. Familiarize yourself with local/state laws on discounting marijuana.
2. Discounts can apply to the whole order or a specific item.
   Whole Order:  Discount by Percent; Discount Sale by Amount
   Specific Item: Discount Item by Amount; Discount Item to Amount
   Both: Enter at Register
3. Check which discounts are applied by tapping the Discount button on the Register App
4. Check which item discounts are applied by tapping that item on the Register App. 
5. Name your discount in a way that anyone could get started on the register and know exactly what the discount should be applied to. 
6. Use tags on specific items to target your discounts.  Tags need to be added to the product and discount plans. 
7. Auto-Apply discounts work best as Simple discounts.  When used with Advanced discounts they work best when targeted toward all items of a specific "Product Type", "Brand", "Item Weight" or with a specific "Tag".
8. You have the option to apply more than one discount to items and orders. 
9. You can apply a discount on the subtotal of an already discounted item.
10. As a backup, provide your Budtenders with a list of your current discounts. Include quantities if it's a quantity based discount.
11.  If a discount isn’t applying, make sure to check if your item can be discounted. You define this on each product (Click on Product > Pricing Tab > Check "Allow this product to be discounted": 

Do you have a discount like "10% off all Pre-Rolls" on specific days?  Save time by using auto-apply discounts by product type. 

Discount a Specific Product Type Automatically [ Auto-Apply: Yes]

This discount will take 10% off of all pre-rolls added to an order. If you don’t want your discount to produce any loose change you can round up to the nearest dollar.

TIPS & TRICKS - If it's only for certain pre-rolls, you can Add tags to the product and add a condition for this tag to the discount plan to target specific pre-rolls. 

Apply it on the register:

1. Add all the items to the register.
2. Each Pre-roll will automatically be discounted. No need to select a discount.

TIPS & TRICKS -  Get fancy by adding the Time Condition to create Happy Hour Specials. 

Run a Happy Hour Special/Flash Sale [ Auto-Apply: Yes]

This discount will take 20% off of all 1/8ths with the tag Phat Tuesday on 9/5 between 2:20pm and 4:20pm . A promotion like this would need to be edited each Tuesday. When choosing tags make them meaningful. Another good tag for this would have been “Bottom Shelf”.  

Apply it on the register:

1. Add all the items to the register.
2. Each 1/8th with the tags you added will automatically apply a 20% discount.

TIPS & TRICKS - This is also useful for setting up discounts on tiered products. Set up one discount for each weight tier. Create custom percent or dollar discounts based on the weight of the item. 

Employee Discounts [ Auto-Apply: Yes]

Create a discount for your employees. You can make sure that it only applies to an Employee by choosing the type of customer the discount should apply to or it as a regular discount and rely on your employees to apply it only to their coworkers. This is one that would also work well as an auto-applied discount. 

Apply it on the register:

1. Add the items on the register.
2. Tap the Customer button.
3. Assign the Employee by tapping the Employee Only button.
4. The discount will automatically apply the the whole order or item depending on the options you chose in the back office.

TIPS & TRICKS - This works really well if you only want Employees to receive discounts on certain items. Set the discount up to discount on the Item.  Tag each item you would like employees to have a discount on.

Users with the Person Group Updates for Employees permission can convert former employees' profiles to regular customer or patient profiles to prevent them from continuing to receive employee discounts and samples.
