There are multiple ways to create and run discounts within Ricochet by discounting an
entire transaction
individual items
NOTE: Discounting an item affects the payout to the consignor.
First, understand the different discount absorb types:
Absorb type tells the software how the discount is divided among the store and the consignor or vendor.
Store Absorb: The store will absorb the entire discount amount and the consignor will still receive their full commission of the original price.
Standard: Most common discount where the price of the item is reduced by the discount amount and then the commission split is applied. (Essentially this is equivalent to changing the price of an item before selling it then having the commission split applied. This is also the default method and how the Per Item discount has always worked prior to any discount feature updates.
Consignor: The consignor will absorb the entire discount amount and the store will still receive their full commission of the original price.
NOTE: The most common, and default, absorb type is Standard whereby the price of the item is simply reduced by the discount amount, the splits stay the same, but the item is now just cheaper than what it was originally listed as.
