Rebate (Cash Discount)

What is a Rebate?

A rebate is a sum of money that is credited or returned to a customer on completion of a transaction. A rebate may offer cash back on the purchase of a product or service. This is a flat-rate rebate which is automatically subtracted from the purchase price.

Businesses offer rebates for many reasons, mainly because they are a potent marketing tool, drawing customers who are attracted to the prospect of receiving cash back on expensive items.

Creating a Cash Discount

Following these steps will set a cash discount/rebate to transactions at the time of tender.  The cash rebate will be attached to the tender type and will be added automatically when the assigned tender option is selected.

Step One: Create the Fee

Login to Console

1. Go to Settings → General Settings → Fees
2. Under the Transaction Fees tab →  Rebates

• Fee Name: Give the rebate a name, in this case, Cash Discount. Keep in mind, that this will be the name that displays to the customer on the receipt. (It can be up to 50 characters).
• Fee Value: Enter the amount for the rebate (You can enter a dollar amount or percentage by selecting Dollar or Percentage)
• Tender Options: Check the Tender options to which you want the rebate to apply.
• Choose Save.

Step Two: Choose the Tender type on the POS

Now when you choose the applicable tender type on POS, the assigned cash rebate will be added each time.

Things to note: The rebate will continue to apply to that tender permanently unless the rebate is inactivated.
