Promotions overview

Start here — discounts, gift cards, and which tool to reach for.

The Promotions section covers two separate tools: discounts (money-off rules staff apply at the till) and gift cards (prepaid vouchers a customer buys and later spends). They're different jobs, so pick by what you're doing:

  • Want money off a bill? → discounts.
  • Selling stored value? → gift cards.

Discounts

  • Set up discounts — the core create/manage flow, including which staff roles may apply each discount.
  • Discount types and passcodes — the four types, when to use each, and gating with a passcode.
  • Scope and limits — one site vs all sites (each terminal now syncs only its own site's discounts plus the all-sites ones), and why there's no time window or category filter.
  • Common promotions FAQ — recipes for happy hours, staff discounts, goodwill and category deals.
