Take money off, on your terms
A discount takes a percentage or a fixed amount off what a customer owes. Cap how many times it can be used, give it an end date, and limit it to the products and selling types the offer actually belongs on.

Two shapes of offer
Percentage off
Scales with the total — good for sales and trade rates.
Dollar amount off
A fixed reduction — good for credits and goodwill.
Percentage or dollar
Pick the shape of the offer, not a workaround
A discount is either a percentage of the total or a flat amount off it. You choose which when you create it, and the customer sees the reduction as its own line rather than a quietly rewritten price.
Percentage off
Take a percentage off the total — a spring sale, a repeat-customer rate, a trade discount that should scale with the size of the job. Cap the most it can ever take off if you need a ceiling.
Dollar amount off
Take a fixed amount off — a referral credit, a deposit already collected, or goodwill on a job that ran longer than quoted.
Limits
A discount that closes itself
The point of a limit is not having to remember. Cap the redemptions, set the window, name the products, and choose where the code is allowed to work — then leave it alone and let it close on its own terms.
- Number of usesCap how many times the discount can be redeemed. It counts each redemption and closes itself once the count is used up.
- Start and expiry datesGive it a window and the offer opens and closes itself, so nothing keeps discounting months after the promotion.
- Specific productsRestrict it to the products you choose, so a code only comes off the things you meant to discount.
- Selling typesAllow it on checkouts, on invoices, or on products — which is what covers a Store or cart order.

What you get
Money off, with the guardrails on
Percentage or dollar
Choose which when you create it. A percentage scales with the total; a dollar amount stays fixed.
Capped uses
Set how many redemptions a discount gets and it stops working once they are gone.
Time expiry
A start and end date open and close the offer for you, so seasonal promotions do not linger.
Product limits
Restrict a discount to specific products instead of everything you sell.
Minimum order and ceiling
Require a minimum order before a code applies, and cap the most a percentage discount can ever take off.
Clear on the document
The reduction shows as its own line off the total, so the customer sees exactly what came off.

Questions
Discounts in Chronly
- Can a discount be a percentage or a dollar amount?
Either. Take 10% off, or take $25 off — you choose which when you create the discount. On a percentage you can also cap the most it is ever allowed to take off.
- Can I limit how many times a discount is used?
Yes. Set the number of uses a discount is allowed and it stops working once that count is reached. You can see how many of them have been used at any point.
- Can a discount expire?
Yes. Give a discount a start and end date and it opens and closes itself, so a seasonal or launch offer stops applying without you remembering to switch it off.
- Can I limit a discount to certain products?
Yes. Restrict a discount to the products you choose, so it only comes off the things you meant to discount. You can also require a minimum order amount before it applies at all.
- Which selling types can a discount work on?
You choose when you create it:
- Checkouts — a reusable payment link.
- Invoices — an invoice you send a customer.
- Products — which is what covers an order through your Store and cart.
- Or allow all of them at once.
- Where do discounts show up for the customer?
As a line off the total, on the same invoice, checkout or Store cart they were already looking at. The reduced amount is what gets charged.
