Using best price deals – Help Centre

When a customer orders a number of items, POS is able to automatically determine which ones are to be used in a deal, based on the system setting DealItemSelectionMethod.

For example: Customers get a 30% discount when they purchase 3 sodas. If the customer requests 4 sodas, the system setting will determine which 3 sodas are used for the deal.

Item	Retail price ($)	Cost ($)	Margin	Savings ($) at 30%
Coke	1.60	0.50	1.10	0.48
Fanta	1.50	0.45	1.05	0.45
Sprite	1.50	0.40	1.10	0.45
Doctor Pepper	2.00	0.70	1.30	0.60

The setting has the following options:

Highest Savings for Customer - POS will select the 3 sodas that give the customer the highest savings. In this case, it will select the Coke ($0.48), Fanta ($0.45), and Dr Pepper ($0.60) for a total savings of $1.53 for the customer.
Lowest Savings for Customer - POS will select the 3 sodas that give the customer the lowest savings. In this case, it will select the Coke ($0.48), Fanta ($0.45), and Sprite ($0.45) for a total savings of $1.38 for the customer.
Highest Margin for Cinema - POS will select the 3 sodas that guve the highest margin for the cinema. In this case, it will select the Coke ($1.10), Sprite ($1.10), and Dr Pepper ($1.30) for a total savings of $1.53 for the customer.

If the customer changes their mind and adds or removes any items in the order, POS will recalculate the items used in the deal.

Note: This prevents the POS operator from choosing which items are used in the deal. However, it does not restrict the operator's ability to change to an entirely different deal if the items in the order are eligible for it.
