Percent discount - Zenskar Documentation

This walkthrough configures a percent discount on a line item and checks the result against a few months of usage.

Step 1: Decide the percentage

Pick the flat percentage to take off the gross bill amount on this line item. For this walkthrough, we’ll use 20%. Set:

value: 20 (20%)

Step 2: Add a label

Set a label for how this discount should appear on the customer’s invoice line, for example “Loyalty discount.”

Step 3: Set the order, if stacking with other discounts

If this line item has other discounts configured too, set the order field to control the sequence they apply in. The recommended order across discount types is quantity discount first, then fixed discount, then percent discount.

Step 4: Save and preview

Save the line item configuration, then use invoice preview to confirm the numbers. Walking through a few months of usage against the configuration above:

Month 1: Bill=$4,000. 20% off → Invoice: $3,200.
Month 2: Bill=$1,500. 20% off → Invoice: $1,200.
Month 3: Bill=$3,000. 20% off → Invoice: $2,400.
