How to set up a percent discount
- On the line item, add a percent discount.
- Set
valueto the percentage to take off the gross bill (for example, 20 for 20%). - Optionally set a
labelfor how the discount appears on the invoice. - 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
- Add each discount to the line item — for example, a quantity discount and a percent discount.
- Set the
orderfield on each to control the sequence they’re applied in. - 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.
- Save and preview to confirm the combined result.
