Till and Order Promotion: Buy a Quantity Get the Cheapest Free
This particular form of promotion is used for such offers such as "buy one get one free" or "3 for 2" but also can be set up to simple get a set percentage discount to the cheapest item in the promotion that is in the customer order if they have the required quantity to be eligible.
This promotion can be set up in Till and Customer Orders Promotions under Pricing.
Under the Maintain Promotions option ensure the correct option is selected.
NOT: after editing a section (before moving to the next one) you will need to click “apply changes†for the alterations on that page to be saved.
Promotion details:
Start / to Date: These are the dates that the promotion will run
between. If you wish to end the promotion early remember to set the to date to
the date on which you end the promotion, this will make sure the system no
longer send this promotion to the till.
Active tick box: Ticking this tick box will tell the system to send the
promotion down to the tills and to the website (if the branches are selected)
next time it is prompted to send promotions to the tills/website.
Description: This can be set to anything, as long as the £ sign is not used as this will stop the promotion from being sent down to the tills. Whatever is entered here is what will shop up when the customer has a purchase that is eligible for this promotion.
Quantity of Items Required: On this line you will need to set how many products, from the list of products in the promotion, the customer needs to have in their basket for them to be eligible for the promotion.
Percentage off cheapest item: In the field you will need to set the value you want to discount. If you are wanting to provide the cheapest product for free you will need to set this to 100%. Another example of a promotion you could set up through this is “buy 1 get the second half price.†If you are setting this up you will need to set the percentage off to 50%.
Voucher barcode: This particular field is for tills only and is available so that should you wish the customer to have present a voucher to even be considered for the promotion you will either need to enter the barcode of the voucher or have the voucher scanned.
Items in the Cheapest Free Offer: after setting the above fields for the promotion you now need to set what products you want to available for the promotion. To do this you will need to click “Add new itemsâ€
Then either search for the products you want to be in this group (any shirts you want to be part of the promotion) or filter by department and sub-department.
Then either tick the select box of any item you want in the promotion, or scroll to the bottom and click “select all†if you want to apply all products to the promotion, then select “add items†to add the selected items to the group you have just created.
Once you have set all this up your promotion should look similar to the below with the relevant products relating to your promotion.
This page contains all branches that you have set up. By selecting a branch you are telling the system to check if it should apply the discount to orders placed by those branches and to stock that is removed from branches (this is why the Warehouse branch is ticked). After selecting all the branches you want the promotion to apply to you will need to click apply changes to confirm to the system that you have set up the branches how you want them to be set.
Days and Times:
This section allows you to set the days of the week and the times you want the promotion to run to and from. For example: if you only wanted the items to be discounted from 00:00 Saturday until 23:59 Sunday (a weekend promotion that occurred on more than 1 weekend in a row) you would set the start and end time as above and tick only the Saturday and Sunday boxes, meaning that you wouldn’t have to worry about making the promo inactive after the first Sunday and making it active again the following Saturday.
