Creating Register Discounts

To get to Discounts, type discount into the Convobar, or go to Meevo > Register > Discounts. 

What types of discounts can I create?

Special Price, Amount Off, Percent Off, and Buy One/Get One can be refined and configured to your liking. Depending on how you configure the discount, it can be automatically applied at the register, or it can be available to apply manually in the Smart Receipt.

What items can I discount?

You can discount service, products, packages, memberships, and gift cards. You can also manually apply discounts to Cancellation and No Show fees.

Note: When "Based on Client History" is selected for a BOGO discount, this "Automatically apply" option is required to be enabled as well. Meevo will automatically select this option upon save if it wasn't already selected.

  • Employee receives full commission: When enabled, the employee will receive commission based on the price in the item's definition, not the discounted price in the register. If not enabled, the employee will receive commission based on the price sold in the register.
  • Limit discount usage: When selected, additional options appear that allow you to refine the number of times the discount can be used.
  • Must purchase ___ quantity in a single transaction to apply discount in register: Discount is not available at register unless the exact amount configured here is purchased by the client.
