Happy Hours allows a price to be set that is temporarily different from the standard product price. The different price will be valid for a period of time set between two dates or by the day(s) of week and time. If you need to set a different price for just the duration date, use the easier function Price plan.

Example of how to use Happy Hours:

Let’s say in March you are organizing an event where a specific product is going to be sold at the discount price every weekend. However, starting in April the product will be sold again at the regular price.

How to set prices that are temporarily different

Use the buttons Number 2 in the image to import the rules into the cash register or export them to a file. You can use the buttons Number 3 in the image to edit or delete the rules you have created.

Step 2

The product price will be automatically adjusted at the selected cash register for the preset period. When the preset period is over, the product price will automatically return to its original value.

Note

When there is an overlap in rules, the rule with the lowest preset product price is the rule the program will follow.
