Sending Discounts

What support does Deliverect have for discounts?

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

When orders are sent to Deliverect, we support an overall order discount on the total value of the order.

How will this show in orders?

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.

Troubleshooting

You have included a discount but when dispatching the order receives an error

If "discountTotal": "Invalid value passed." is shown, check that you are sending in the format "discountTotal": -100,.

You have added a discount but it is not showing in Deliverect

Check that the toggle is enabled for the Deliverect test channel to pass discounts onto the POS You can find this in the channel link settings page.
