As schools will use a variety of discounts, rather than providing generic discounts and the operator entering the amount at the PoS, Fusion allows schools to create and manage the discounts that they require. This method also allows for better reporting, as you can specifically name the discounts and generate reports to see how they are being used.
Discounts are accessed by using the Discounts button from the top-right of the PLUs screen.
Pressing this button will display a list of the currently created discounts.
Adding a discount
- To add a new discount, press the Add button.
- Enter a name for the discount. This name will be displayed on the PoS and used on reports.
- Using the dropdown, select the type of discount that you want to create. The differences are discussed here.
- Enter the amount or percentage that this discount will apply.
- When happy, press the Save button. You will be warned that once saved, you will be unable to change the type. Press Yes to continue.

Once a discount has been created, it can be edited by selecting it from the list, and pressing the Edit button. Everything except the type can be edited. Once you are happy with your changes, press Save.
Deleting discounts
It is not possible to delete discounts. Once a discount is no longer required, it can be set as inactive. This is done by editing the discount and unselecting the ‘Active’ checkbox.
