Quantity Discounts

Quantity Discounts watches how many units of your chosen products are in the order and applies the deal when the customer reaches the threshold. Six-packs, three-for-two, bulk pricing on a category — the rule is defined once and the Register does the counting.

Overview

How it works

1

The app counts, not the cashier

It watches how many units of your selected items are in the order and applies the deal once the threshold is reached.

2

You choose how counting works

Each product separately counts identical items only; all selected items combined lets a mix reach the threshold.

3

You choose who gets the discount

Buy N or more, all get the discount discounts every qualifying unit; for every N bought, 1 gets the discount is the three-for-two shape.

4

An optional cap

A per-order limit stops one basket from taking the deal on unlimited units.

5

A schedule like any promotion

Dates, a daily time window and weekdays — or no date limits at all.

The app never replaces the Clover Register — it adds to it. Payments, taxes and reporting stay in Clover.

First setup

Do this once, in this order. It takes a few minutes and the app is then ready for the shift.

  1. Open Quantity Discounts. The list shows each deal with its period, weekdays and status.
  2. Tap + to create a discount.
  3. Enter a name (e.g. 6-pack deal), pick a colour, then set Applies to = Items or Categories and select them.
  4. Set Discount per itemAMOUNT or PERCENTAGE — and the value taken off each qualifying unit.
  5. Set Buy this many to qualify, then choose How items are counted and How the discount works.
  6. Optionally open Limit discounted items per order (BETA) and set a cap.
  7. Choose Set dates and times or No date limits, tick the weekdays and save.
  8. Build a test basket at, just below and just above the threshold before opening the store.
Quantity rules are easy to get subtly wrong — always test with a real basket.

Configuration

Setup scenarios

Each scenario is a complete configuration — follow the steps in order.

Most configuration screens require the Clover employee role of Manager or Admin.
1Six-pack deal on a single product

Buy six of the same drink, get a discount on every one of them.

  1. Open Quantity DiscountsQuantity Discounts and tap +.
  2. Name it 6-pack deal and pick a colour.
  3. Applies to = Items, then select the drink.
  4. Discount per item = Amount or Percentage, and enter the value.
  5. Buy this many to qualify = 6.
  6. How items are counted = Each product separately (same item only).
  7. How the discount works = Buy 6 or more, all get the discount, then set the schedule and save.
2Three for the price of two, across a category

Any mix of products from one category, the cheapest logic handled by the app.

  1. Create a discount and set Applies to = Categories, then select the category.
  2. Set Discount per item = Percentage 100 so the free unit costs nothing.
  3. Buy this many to qualify = 3.
  4. How items are counted = All selected items combined (any mix).
  5. How the discount works = For every 3 bought, 1 gets the discount.
  6. Set the weekdays and time window and save.
Test with a real basket before opening: quantity rules are easy to get subtly wrong, and the register is where it shows.
3Bulk pricing with a cap per ticket

Encourage volume without letting one customer clear the shelf at the discounted price.

  1. Create the discount with your items and threshold as usual.
  2. Open Limit discounted items per order (BETA) and choose Set a limit.
  3. Enter the maximum number of discounted units per order.
  4. Set the date range if the offer is temporary; otherwise choose No date limits.
  5. In SettingsRestrictions, limit who may edit discounts.
At the register

Everyday use

What the cashier does after the app is configured.

  1. Nothing to press — the deal applies itself once the basket reaches the threshold.
  2. The discount appears on the order lines, so the customer sees it before paying.
  3. If a customer buys more than the per-order cap, the extra units are charged at full price.
  4. Outside the schedule the deal simply does not apply; the card in the app shows why.
If something is wrong

Troubleshooting

Symptom on the left, what to do on the right.

SymptomWhat to do
The deal does not trigger with a mixed basket.Set How items are counted to All selected items combined (any mix).
Every unit is discounted when only one should be.Switch How the discount works to For every N bought, 1 gets the discount.
Enter a discount name or Quantity must be at least 0 when saving.Required fields are empty or invalid — fill the name and a valid threshold.
Start time must be before end time.The daily window is reversed. Set the start earlier than the end, or use No date limits.
New items are missing from the picker.Tap the sync icon in the top bar to reload items and categories from Clover.
The app's dialog never appears on the payment screen; Clover shows "Customer is choosing payment method".Open the Clover Setup app → Payments and uncheck Automatically take payment on Connected Device, so payment is taken on the primary device.
Settings cannot be opened or changed.Sign in with an employee whose Clover role is Manager or Admin. Some apps also have their own Restrict access switch that locks the configuration.
The app works erratically, or stops reacting after the device has been idle.Turn off Battery Saver in the device's Android settings and keep the device online.
A change made on one device is not visible on another.Settings sync through the cloud; give it a minute and make sure both devices have a network connection.
