If you need to offer a customer a discount on an order, Boatyard makes it easy to apply one as either a flat dollar amount or a percentage. The discount is applied automatically and always calculated before sales tax, so your order total stays accurate.
How to Apply a Discount
Navigate to the order in Boatyard.
Scroll down to the Subtotal section.
Choose how you want to apply the discount:
Click the amount field to enter a flat dollar discount.
Click the percentage field to enter a percentage discount.
Enter the discount value.
The discount will be calculated and deducted from the subtotal automatically. Sales tax is then applied to the discounted amount.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Discounts are always applied before sales tax is calculated, so the tax your customer sees will reflect the discounted order total.
Only one discount can be applied per order, so if you need to adjust it, simply update the value in the same field.
