Create a Discount Link

If your discount is set up for "All Order Types" and "Any User", then you can create a Discount Link. This discount link creates a URL (web address). Customers can access the URL and have the discount auto-applied to their order, assuming the order meets all of the discount parameters. 

To create a discount link:

• Login to your Clover Web dashboard
  

• Open the Online Order app
  

• Click on Discount
  

• Locate the appropriate Discount
  

  • Click on Create Link
    

• Click on Create Link
  
  • Manually copy the URL or click on the blue "Copy" button
    

You can use this URL to direct customers to your Orderspoon store with the discount code auto-applied. 

An even faster method to direct customers to a URL is to create a QR code. 

There are lots of free QR code generators available on the web. A QR code generator creates a QR image for a specific URL. When this QR image is scanned by a mobile device, it will direct the customer to that specific URL. 

This website offers free QR codes with no ads embedded into it. https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/

4 Leaf Labs is in no way associated with them. Feel free to use any site, we just want to provide 1 example.

Discounts when customers use Pay Later 

There is a situation where the discount will not be reflected directly on the Clover POS. This is when the customer chooses to Pay Later. 

In Clover, the discounts are included in the payments, but since there is no payment processed in the Pay later, the discount will be visible from the customers' end in the Checkout page and in the Order Confirmation but it will not be visible from the merchant's end in the Clover system. 

When a customer uses a discount and Pay Later, the discount will be performed manually at the time of the transaction in the Clover device.
