How to set up a percent discount

  1. On the line item, add a percent discount.
  2. Set value to the percentage to take off the gross bill (for example, 20 for 20%).
  3. Optionally set a label for how the discount appears on the invoice.
  4. Save. The discount will now apply at the same rate to every billing period, scaling automatically with the bill.

How to stack a percent discount with other discount types

  1. Add each discount to the line item — for example, a quantity discount and a percent discount.
  2. Set the order field on each to control the sequence they’re applied in.
  3. Use the recommended order — quantity discount first, then fixed discount, then percent discount — unless you have a specific reason to deviate. Quantity discount reduces units before any pricing model runs; fixed and percent discounts both operate on the resulting dollar amount.
  4. Save and preview to confirm the combined result.

How to read the invoice breakdown for a percent discount

  1. Open the invoice and find the percent discount line.
  2. Each period’s breakdown record includes: the amount before and after the discount, the discount applied, and the percentage used.
  3. Use this breakdown to verify the discount matches the expected calculation.
