In the item Item management » Customers you can see an overview of created customer accounts. Every cash register payment can be assigned to a customer’s account. If for individual products you set a number of points, these points will be added to the customer’s account when the product is paid. You can create customer accounts either directly in the touch cash register or using Dotypos Cloud.
In the item Item management » Discount groups you set the rules for discounting all products. If you assign a discount group to a customer account, the discount set in that group will automatically be applied to the entire account with the assigned customer.
Help function Bulk selection allows you to choose multiple items to be moved to another category, deleted or modified (e.g. the tax rate or other parameters).
In Dotypos Cloud it is also possible to batch imported customers from the prepared .csv file. This file has the same structure as the file you get when exporting customers from Dotypos Cloud. However, the import and export of items is only supported in Dotypos FULL. |

How do I manage discount groups?
With discount groups, you can specify a discount of a certain amount, valid for all products, which you then assign to a specific customer. You assign this discount to the customer when you create or edit the customer account described above.
Select the Discount groups in the top bar, and you can add a new rule here with the button Add or edit existing rules with the button Detail . |
In the dialog window for creating and adjusting discount groups select both the rule name and the discount, then confirm with Save. The button can be used to temporarily hide the group or to completely delete it from the header. If you delete a discount group that has been assigned to some customers, a dialog will be displayed to select a different or no discount group for these customers. |
