Overview

Give your customers an incentive to order online! Our Whole Order Discount feature is designed to offer users a discount on their total order value, irrespective of any existing ERP-based discounts or special pricing they may already receive



Offer customers a discount on their total order value. 

How it works

  1. You configure percentage discounts in the CMS. There are several criteria on which the discount can be based:

Wildcards are permitted, meaning you can configure a discount for all customers with a filter for just particular Company Masks, for example. This would make that discount applicable across multiple accounts. 


If a customer satisfies the criteria for multiple Whole Order Discounts, the system will only apply one. First it will look for an explicit Customer Code match, and if there is none (i.e. wildcards in use), it will proceed to the Company Mask and then to Industry Sub Group.

Example - in the screenshot above, Customer 'ABC' has a 3% discount configured. Customer ABC is also part of the '555' Company Mask group, which has a 4% discount configured for all customers.
In this scenario, only the 3% discount would be applied, as it has been defined specifically for that customer and would be the first discount identified by the system.


2. The user automatically receives the discount in the cart, without having to apply any promotion codes. 

In the image below, you can see this customer already receives a 5% discount on the product. The Whole Order Discount is then applied at the order level (not against a product).


3. The discount is recorded against the sales order as a negative charge line.

You specify the charge line type and its description, which appears both in the cart and on the ERP sales order.
