Important: This discount type is supported on Register 6.4 and above.

Franpos allows you to create a discount that behaves similarly to a regular Simple Discount, but with the added ability to use existing discount validation rules.

This means you can allow employees to enter a custom discount amount or percentage, while still enforcing business rules such as customer requirements, brand restrictions, usage limits, manager approval, and more.

This is useful when you need flexible discounts without losing validation controls.

How to Create a Custom Amount Discount

Go to:
Marketing → Discounts

Create a new Manual Discount.

Configure the discount with:

Applies To: All Items

Amount Type: Custom

You can then define additional validation rules based on your business needs, such as:

• Require Customer
• Apply only to selected brands
• Limit usage to N times per customer
• Require manager PIN
• Other standard manual discount restrictions

How It Works on POS

Once the discount is created, it will appear in the regular discount list on the POS alongside other manual discounts.

The main difference between this discount and a standard manual discount is:

This discount allows the cashier to enter:

• Custom discount amount
• Custom discount percentage

While doing so, Franpos still applies all configured validation rules.

This gives the same flexibility as a simple discount, but with stronger control over when and how it can be used.

Common Use Cases

This feature is useful when you need flexible discounts but still want validation and tracking.

• Manager-approved custom discounts
• Customer loyalty recovery discounts
• Brand-specific negotiated discounts
• One-time customer retention offers
• Controlled promotional adjustments

Reporting Benefits

One major advantage of this setup is cleaner reporting.

Instead of generating multiple unrelated simple discount entries, all usage is grouped under a single configured discount.

This helps with:

• Cleaner discount reports
• Easier analytics
• Better tracking of discount usage
• Reduced reporting noise from multiple custom discount lines

For example, you can create a manager-approved custom discount that still requires PIN validation, while keeping all transactions grouped under the same discount name in reporting.
