Greenline is excited to announce new upcoming discounting functionality, bundled discounts!

We’ve repurposed how product cart discounts work. Now, users will see a new discount type “bundles” when creating a new discount. In additions, users will notice that the option of selecting specific products have been removed from overall cart discounts.

Creating a bundle is simple: select a set of products that you’d like to discount, then set the $ of % discount. The discount will be applied proportionately based on the price of each of the bundle items. Note that for this release, having multiple units of the same product in a bundle will not be supported.

How to use on the POS

There will be a new automatic POS category called “Bundled discounts”. Budtenders no longer need to memorize what items are in each bundle - they can simply tap into the “Bundled discounts” category, select the appropriate bundle, and see all the relevant products automatically added to the cart. This minimizes human error and greatly reduces the time budtenders may spend looking up individual products.

Bundled discounts are currently scheduled to release on Wednesday February 1st. Any existing product cart discounts you have will be automatically converted to a bundled discount. Once released, we encourage retailers to take their time to review discount setups and take advantage of the new functionality.

FAQ

• If you do not see Bundles on Tablet POS
  • clients may need to close and re open app.
  • Bundle needs to exist with inventory. If one item has no inventory the Bundle will not be available.
• We do not recommended adding multiple bundles to a cart if parking and un-parking orders.

You may have noticed some color changes in our system! As part of the BLAZE acquisition, you may notice some color and theme changes throughout the system to be aligned with our new branding.

Bugs

Printer/scanner connectivity improvements - Our POS team has been working hard on improving general connectivity on both our iOS and Android POS systems especially as it relates to barcode scanners connecting to the system via printers. Based on customer reports, we believe that we’ve made meaningful improvements - retailers should see a greatly reduced frequency in the printing signals and the scanning signals interfering with each other on the POS. As usual, we will continue to monitor our systems and make continuous improvements over time. Thank you for your patience.

Net Sales

The sale of a gift card is now recorded separately from your product sales. Your gross and net sales will exclude gift card sales. Gift card sales, gift card refunds, and gift card discounts are treated as liabilities instead of normal sales.

The amount paid for the gift card is included in the Payments report under the payment method that the customer used, such as card or cash.

Gift card redemptions are included in Gross and Net Sales. The full value of the item is claimed as sales. For example, a $20 t-shirt with $5 of that purchase paid for by a gift card will show up as $20 in sales. The amount paid by or refunded to a gift card is included in the Payments report as a gift card entry.
