Apply discount to a specific category for specific customers

mikesclub — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 00:39:27 GMT

I'm pretty sure Square doesn't support this, so I'm asking the community of users if anyone has found a workable method.

I sell items in multiple categories, one of which is groceries.

I am also a membership club, but I sell things to both members and non-members.

I want to apply a discount (or a price variation) to groceries bought by members. But my customers usually buy other items as well, and the discount would not apply to those items. I don't want to have to manually edit each grocery item purchased during checkout to apply the discount (or variation) item by item.

Does anyone have a way to do this?

Hey @mikesclub!

Unfortunately I don't have a workaround that I've heard of for this specific need but your thread will remain open for other sellers to comment on if they know of a way.

I'll also pass this suggestion along as a feature request to our Product Teams.

Hi @mikesclub @lbicheese if you're still is looking for a way to manage this please let me know.

My name is Dan I've worked in point of sale and payments for 7+ years and developed a software to help retail businesses leverage subscriptions. It's called Submatic (https://www.submatic.io/).

We have an integration with Square that automates member discounts/benefits based on the rules that you configure. For example you can create a membership for a product or which entitles the member to a discount. Our software tracks and communicates the membership benefits with Square so that you don't have to track anything manually.

If you're interested in getting more info or checking out a trial let me know. You can send me a direct message here on the forum, just hover your mouse over my username and then click "Send Message". Thanks!
