Send Discounts

Introduction

You can offer multiple forms of discount or special offers on items in cooperation with the restaurants or food businesses.

Deliverect supports an overall order discount on the total value of the order.

How this is shown in an order

When you send an order to us, the discount total should be sent as a minus value.

For example, discountTotal: -100 is a discount of 1 euro (or any currency used by the merchant) on the total order amount.

Discount details (optional)

Additionally, you can specify information regarding the discount(s) as an array within the order payload.

"discounts": [
      {
        "type": "order_flat_off",
        "provider": "restaurant",
        "name": "FLATOFF",
        "channelDiscountCode": "",
        "referenceId": 1,
        "value":  800,
        "amount": 800
      }
    ],

Discounts to reference a specific item (optional)

The discount can reference an specific item by adding the array "discountReferenceIds" at item level when creating the order as shown below.

 "items": [
    {
      "plu": "CHKROY",
      "name": "Chicken Royale",
      "price": 749,
      "quantity": 1,
      "remark": null,
      "subItems": [],
