Many stores have discounts that apply to groups of customers. The most common would be employee, friends and family, veteran, and senior discounts. To assign Assigning these discounts to a group of customers is easily done with the Pinogy Point of Sale.
First, start off by creating the group and naming it.
For this our example we will just call it Apples for our example:
Open

Cash Register.
Go to
...
Customers.
Select any
...
customer.
Within the
...
Customer account select the ellipsis
...
“[…]” beside “Groups“.
In the Sub Groups section select the green plus icon.
Name The Group.

...
After you have a group created under Employees or Customers, you can now create and assign a discount to the group.
Open the Products module.
Select Promos.
Select the New button.
Select Create Custom. This will open the Manage Promotion window.
...
In the Manage Promotion window name the Discount.
Select the Type with the drop-down menu. For our example, we will use Percent Off.

Amount Off
...
- Will have an Amount off each discount. Ex: $1 dollar off each bag of promo dog food.
Frequent Buyer
...
- Will have a Reward Quantity
...
based on Frequent Buyer habits. Ex: Buy 10, get 1 free. 10 on “Min Buy Qty” and 1 on “Reward Qty”.
After they buy 10 of them, the average amount that they spent can be used toward their 11th one.
-So if the price was the same the whole time, it would be free.
-If they purchased 5 at $5, and 5 at $10, they would get up to a $7.50 discount on the 11th.
Percent Off- will let you enter a percent off the item's price. Ex 50% off the price on the promo items
Price- will reduce the price per each
...
individual promo item. Ex : normal price $3.00 - during promo $2.50
