Creating Discounts

Understand how to create different discount settings in ConsignCloud

To create a discount head to Settings>Discounts>Create New.

After your discount has been created, there are several options to customize how the discount works. Decide whether the discount will come from the store's portion of revenue, the consignor's portion, or both. Then, apply the necessary rules and schedules for the discount.



Rules

Rules can be applied to discounts to ensure that the discount applies to the correct items. They determine whether the discount applies to all items across the store, or only to a certain category of items like Shoes.

Discounts can also be applied to certain tagged items. For instance, if you wanted to discount items that were 3 months old, you could filter the Items Table and bulk edit them to add a tag titled "Blue." Then, when creating the discount, you could choose the rule "Apply to items with tag" and then choose the "Blue" tag. The discount would then appear on all "Blue" tagged items.

NOTE: Tags must be created before the discount is created in order for the tag to apply.

Scheduled Discounts

Discounts can also be scheduled to apply at a later date. The schedule looks like the screenshot below:

The percentage amount can be changed to a dollar amount, and is completely customizable. The amount of days before the discount applies is also customizable. This is useful for inventory turnover, as the discount gets larger the older the item is.

Rules and Schedules can be stacked so that a certain category or group of items gets more discounted the longer those items are on the shelf.
