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.
Gift cards
- Gift cards (portal) — statuses, the list, where each card was sold (if you have more than one venue), outstanding liability, opening a card.
- Issue a gift card manually — the exception path, for support replacements and comps.
- Void or resend a gift card — from the card's detail page.
- Sell a gift card at the till — the everyday sale.
- Redeem a gift card at the till — take a card as payment.
- Check a gift card's balance — the three ways to look one up.
- Troubleshooting gift card redemption — what each error means.
