Hi @secondlifeatl,

You could create an auto discount that applies to that item. $ discounts when manually applied work only at cart level.

Hi @Stacks_Admin, this Q&A is all in writing within the forum. If you have a question, please don't hesitate to post it below and our product team will be able to address it. 💯

Hi @secondlifeatl,

Yes:

• Visit your Seller Dashboard and then go to your Items Library > Discounts 
• Click "Create a Discount"
• Fill out name, amount, and other details, then click "Discount Rules"
• Select "Customer Group" and assign it to the group you want
• Click "Set date range" below and select a start and end date/time
• Save

We are working to improve the flexibility of how discount rules can be combined, but the use case you're describing should already be covered.

Hi @Busyewefarm,

What you're describing should work correctly. Taking a look at your item catalog, it looks like this discount was set up to apply to a minimum quantity of 16 items, not 3?

You should not need to manually apply the discount to the transaction, as long as the minimum number of items was met.

This was the second one I tried to set up.  Look at 21-commYarn

We would like to set up an automatic discount based on the amount spent -- for example, 10% off $50, 15% off $75, etc. How do we do that?

Hello Divyar,

I was looking around the discount options to see if there was a way to have more than one rule for any specific discount, but it seems there can be only one rule per discount.

What I would like to do, for example, is to offer a Wine Club 20% discount to my wine club members, but only to the category "Wine Bottles". So if they buy anything else, they don't get any discount.
So I would need 2 rules for the 20% discount: apply to 1 specific group of customer, AND apply to 1 specific category of products. Is there a way to do that?

Thank you.

Eric Cavatore.

did you ever get a response for this? i am in the same boat as you are, we have case club members that need their discounts.

This is something I am waiting for as well. We sell mix 4 packs of beer at a 10% discount, and our inventory changes weekly. So I just put out a generic 10% off code and hope that the customer actually adds 4 beers or more to the order. They do still need to enter the coupon code, so it's not an automatic discount. From my experience I think that's the closest you'll be able to get.

Another option would be to create a "Dozen Bagels" item (at the discounted price) and have 12 individual modifiers listing each bagel flavor, so the customer selects all the ones they want -- this would require a lot of data entry and unfortunately wouldn't keep track of inventory. 

Great feedback and suggestions @allwhowander . For us, inventory is a key factor, it can get pretty gnarly quickly on weekends. Nothing worst than calling a customer to let them know we are out of certain kind of bagels.

I've been there as a customer - when my local bagel shop runs out of Jalapeño Cheddar, it ruins my day!

What I have done was created a Category called Coupon  Inside this category I have a few items that I want to give a discount to say 25% off.  When I scan the "Coupon" it shows as item X% off.    The coupon is linked to items in a category that gets an automatic discount.

So the "Coupon" is actually an Items UPC with an automatic Discount applied.

1) So you want to give lets say 15% discount for people buying a "Widget"   Widget has a UPC of widget price of $100.00

Create a Barcode UPC for an Item call it "Widget 15% off" with a UPC of 15offprice  Set the price to $85.00

Problem here is you can not keep track of your inventory which is the big issue.  At end of day you can see how many Widget 15% off you sold and subtract them from you Widget inventory.  Good way to track success of your coupon.

2)What I did was I created an ad for 3 local Hotels and if people bring in their coupon from the Hotel they get 2 Free Votives.  I am more so testing how the good the ads are and using a loss leader.   I created "coupons" which are actually names of the Hotels.  When my coupon is scanned it scans as "Hotel Name" for $2.98 and automatically applies a Discount of $2.98, which gives the 2 free votives.  I do not track inventory by individual votive so this works for me.  I only track the votives by a dozen.    So here is what happens.  My Items "Hotel Names" is in a category called Coupons, and when any items in coupons is scanned an automatic discount of $2.98 is applied.  The $2.98 discount could also be a %.  

3) Another thought might be to create the same item with the same UPC but a different name.

For example Item Widget and Widget 15% off.... give them both the SAME UPC.... When you have 2 items with the same UPC you will get a warning when you create the item.   When you scan the UPC you will have to choose the correct item.  By doing this if there is NO coupon you can charge full price, with coupon select the sales price item which could be **bleep**igned to get the automatic discount.   I use this for a Pumpkin Jar I sell, the UPC on the Pumpkin Jar is the same, but I fill the Pumpkin with 5 different scents.  At check out we scan the UPC and list 6 different Pumpkins to choose, our 5 normal scents and a Customer Choice Scent.  So I can track which scents are more popular in the Pumpkins.

These are work arounds I use because Square does not actually offer a scannable Coupon item at this time to subtract a % or dollar amount off of an item.
