  6. Enter a Get How Many quantity and select What this discount applies to.
  7. All or specific items: To select specific items that will be eligible for this discount, deselect the All option, and use the mover to select the "Get" items that are a part of the discount.

  2. Configure the remaining options:
  • Discount only applies when item is performed/sold by the following employee(s): Discount applies only when the credited employee is someone that is listed here.
  • Discount only applies for clients with the following Client Type(s): Only clients who are assigned the selected Client Types can receive this discount.
  • This discount cannot be combined with other discounts: Disallows stacking or combining this discount with any other.

  • Automatically apply this discount at the register: If items on the register Smart Receipt match the criteria for a Discount, the discount is automatically applied to the items in the Smart Receipt.
  • Employee receives full commission: When enabled, the employee will receive commission based on the price in the item's definition, not the discounted price in the register. If not enabled, the employee will receive commission based on the price sold in the register.
  • Limit discount usage: When selected, additional options appear that allow you to refine the number of times the discount can be used.
  • Must purchase ___ quantity in a single transaction to apply discount in register: Discount is not available at register unless the exact amount configured here is purchased by the client. This option is most often used with products and is not available if you selected the Buy One/Get One Discount Type.

Business Types and data in Central Office

If you configured Business Types, select one from the Business Types drop-down. Only locations of the same Business Type will have access to this item once it is made available.

Reminder: Business Types are a way to categorize locations that offer vastly different services. For example, a Med Spa location would be set to a different Business Type than, say, a hair salon. In this way, Business Types ensure that unrelated data does not appear at a location (such as a Men's Haircut service appearing in a MedSpa's services list). For the vast majority of businesses, Business Types are not necessary.

Select Make available to locations to make this item immediately available to locations. In Location Options, you can exclude locations and manage how Meevo handles local overrides.

Note: If you select a Business Type and make an item available to locations, then after saving, you cannot change from one Business Type to another. However, you can at any time change from a single Business Type to All Business Types (as long as All Business Types is an available option for this item).

To edit a discount

Note: Some fields on the form may not be editable if the current location is not the item's Home Location. 

Note: Once an item is saved with a Business Type selected and the item is made available to locations, then the Business type cannot be changed to anything other than All Business Types.

Note: If you use Market Pricing and you update the Discount Type in a Discount definition, you will need to edit that discount in each individual market as well.

  1. Locate and select the discount.
  2. Select Edit, and make your changes.
  3. When finished, select Save.
