Discounts

Support for discounts

Our channel partners may offer multiple types of discounts or special offers on items. However, when orders are sent to Deliverect, only an overall order discount is supported.

How discounts are shown in orders

The total discount is shown as a negative value when we send an order to a POS, which is then subtracted from the total order's value. The POS should clearly show the discounted total.

For an order with a €1 discount, it is displayed as "discountTotal": -100, on the POS order tab.

Additional discount Information

If the channel provides additional information about the discount, an additional "discounts" object is provided in the payload.

 "discounts": [
    {
      "type": "order_flat_off",
      "provider": "channel",
      "name": "Test discount",
      "channelDiscountCode": "test 1234",
      "referenceId": 1,
      "value": 400,
      "amount": 400
    }
  ]

In the "discounts" object, you will find information such as the discount type, name, and amount. Each parameter is shown in the table below (view all other attributes).
