Smaller stores like retailers usually have closer connection with their customers, especially the loyal ones. They give promo as an act of appreciation to the customers and to maintain good relationship. New customers usually won't get as much promo as the old and loyal ones.
It's common for customers to bargain with seller when shopping in small retailers, including bargaining how much the promo they will get in a purchase. Merchants don't always have a designated scheme for the promo, so it's flexible.
Bigger wholesalers plan the promo in advance, especially if applied for all customers. Seasonal promo, such as independence day promo is one example.
There are three type of promo merchants usually give to customers. Terms and conditions could also apply.
This type of promo application was intended for user who wants to have more flexibility when determining promo type and amount for an item. Ad hoc promo enables user to decide on spot the type and amount of promo they'd like to give to customers while the transaction is happening.
Preset promo is for user who wants to plan promo in advance and don't want to bother giving promo in every transaction. The promo can be planned beforehand along with the period, promo items, promo amount, terms, and conditions. It's suitable for promo campaign and seasonal promo. The scope of preset promo on first iterations would only be on discount per item type.
User can add item promo right away on Point of Sales (POS) page. Even better, they can choose promo type between discount and free item. Final item price will be automatically calculated according to promo amount. No need for a calculator, we count it for you.
