The discount will immediately apply to the transaction total.
Store Absorbs Discount Feature
Stores using Consignment Pro can optionally enable:
Store Absorbs This Discount
When enabled:
- Vendors are paid the full item amount
- The store owner absorbs the discount cost
- Vendor payouts are not reduced by promotional discounts
This is especially useful for:
- Holiday promotions
- Store-wide sales
- Customer loyalty promotions
- Marketing campaigns
Example
A vendor item is listed for $10.00.
A 15% discount is applied with:
- Store Absorbs This Discount enabled
Result:
- Customer pays discounted price
- Vendor still receives payout based on the full $10.00 sale amount
- Store owner absorbs the discount difference
Viewing Store Absorbed Discounts
After the sale:
- Navigate to Rent
- Locate the vendor
- Open the vendor ledger or balance view
Transactions using store absorbed discounts will display accordingly in the vendor activity.
