Promotions

Promotions are quite flexible with lots of options. They can be:

  • Customer specific or available for everyone

  • Automatically applied or accessed via a code

  • For a price or percentage

  • For a specific item or applied to the total basket

  • Applied for a particular service or date range

  • Advertised with a pop up message or a banner that sits under the basket on the web order page

Please keep in mind that promotions apply separately each time, and do not “consume” a set amount of credit. For example, if you create a single-user promotion for a £20.00 discount, and select the “Multiple use” in the promotion options, that customer would receive the full £20.00 discount for every order they place, as opposed to a combined total of £20.00.

By default, only a single promo code can be added to an order. It is possible to change this, allowing multiple promo codes to be applied at the same time on a single order. To enable this behaviour, please contact us at support@qikserve.com.

If you are Oracle POS integrated you will need to get in touch with Support@QikServe.com as a promotion needs to be added to your integration before it can work correctly.
