Not sure how to set this up so that you or your employees will not forget to add a discount to the transaction? Let us show you how easy this can be.
 

1. Within Pricing > Day Discounts, click + New Day Discount.

2. Select the day on which the rental will begin. In this example, there is a discount for Sunday as we are closed on that day. From the Day drop-down menu, select Saturday since this is the day the rental will begin.    

3. Next, enter the discount percentage amount. In this case, it would be 33.33%. Where did we come up with that number? The rental transaction is for a 3-day duration. Since we are only charging for two days, we are going to divide the rental duration (3 days for this example) by 100% to get the percentage discount. Just enter the amount and the system will add the % to the end of the amount for you.

4. For this case, since we are discounting a day and are closed for a certain duration with a certain start date for the rental, we are going to select Only Start Date for when the discount applies.  

5. Since this discount is for a minimum duration of three days, you will want to enter 3d in the minimum field under the Duration Applicability section. You will only enter a maximum if you don’t want the discount to apply over a certain length of rental. Since the example is for three days only, you will want to enter 3d in the maximum field as well.

6. You will only need to add the Base Rate Applicability fields if you have a minimum and/or maximum dollar amount this day discount applies to. Otherwise, you will leave this blank.

7. Once all the information is completed, click Save and you now have your day discount added.

Note: If the rental duration ends on a day that you are closed, you will not need to enter a discount. The software will automatically charge them $0.00 for that day and the due date will roll over to the next day you’re opened according to how you have your rollover window settings set up within Configuration > Company Configurations > Date/Time Option.
