Discounts can now be conveniently applied to line items in subscriptions or client invoices, offering flexibility in managing billing. Discounts are seamlessly integrated into the billing process, displaying the discounted values clearly for clients. It's worth noting that discounts are applied prior to any tax calculations.
Types of Discounts
There are two primary types of discounts available for your clients:
- Fixed Amount Discounts: Easily deduct a specified amount from a line item. For instance, if a single unit of a product is priced at $100, applying a fixed amount discount of $20 reduces the final sale price to $80 per unit.
- Percentage Discounts: These discounts deduct a specified percentage from the invoice line item total. For example, applying a 20% discount to a $100 invoice reduced the final sale price to $80.
Adding a Discount to an Invoice
Discounts can be effortlessly added to invoices or subscriptions.
Adding to an Invoice:

Adding a Discount to a Subscription
You can add discount to a subscription and have it applied to the invoices generated from the subscription. The discount can have start and end date, or it can run indefinitely.
