Amount Off Examples

This section provides examples of the Amount Off discount award type.

Example 1: Whole Number Item

  • 1 Salad: $10.00

  • Amount Off: $2.00

  • Award Percent = Amount Off ($2.00) / Item Base Price ($10.00) = .20

  • Discount = Current Sales Total ($10.00) x Award Percent (.20) = $2.00

Because the Current Sales Total is greater than or equal to the base price, the customer receives the Amount Off.

Example 2: Decimal Number Item

  • .5 Salad: $5.00

  • Amount Off: $2.00

  • Award Percent = Amount Off ($2.00) / Item Base Price ($10.00) = .20

  • Discount = Current Sales Total ($5.00) x Award Percent (.20) = $1.00

When the Current Sales Total is less than the base price, the customer receives the discount based on the award percent calculation.

Example 3: Decimal Number Item with Condiment

  • .5 Salad: $5.00

  • 1 Chicken: $5.00

  • Current Sales Total = $10.00

  • Discount = Current Sales Total ($10.00) x Award Percent (.20) = $2.00

Because the Current Sales Total is greater than or equal to the base price, the customer receives the Amount Off.
