Introduction
This article provides an example of a Combo deal discount scenario where a fixed price is applied when purchasing a combination of items. For example:
- In an F&B scenario, buy a Burger, Fries and Drink for 9.50.
- In a Retail scenario, buy a Notebook, Pencil and Eraser for 12.00.

IMPORTANT: Before creating a deal, check that you have the following:
- A "Deal Reporting Product". A product representing the deal that discounted items report against within the transaction. This is a standard Back Office Product with the Deal Reporting Product checkbox enabled in the Additional Options section.
- Product families (if required). A family of products used to specify basket conditions for the deal to activate, or used to specify products that should be excluded from transaction-level discounts. These are managed within the Product Families section.
Deal Configuration Steps
Step 1: Deal Details
When creating the deal:
- Enter a Deal Name for the the deal as it should be known in the Back Office (customers don't see this) and link to a Deal Type. Then select the Deal Reporting Product for the deal to report against in transactions.
- The Discount Level should be "Specific Items" as the deal only applies to those in the combo.
- Select when the deal is Available From and To. You can apply additional availability rules later.
Once created there are two further options:
- Iteration Limit: Specify the number of times that this deal can be activated within a customers basket. If there is no limit, leave this blank.
- Allow Stacking: Enable this if items discounted by this deal can be further discounted by a transaction-level deal that gets applied later.
Step 2: Deal Conditions
There should be a Deal Condition representing each element of the combination required.
In this case, there must be 1 Burger, 1 Side and 1 Drink for the fixed price to apply.
Each Deal Condition should have a Deal Condition Name for Back Office identification purposes.
Use Item Selection Method to select items for this condition based on "Product Family" or "Individual Product", and then select that family or product in the Item Selection list.
Select your Condition Metric - which is typically "Quantity" in a combo deal scenario - and then enter your Minimum and Maximum values as the same value per the condition requirement.
Step 3: Deal Discounts
There is one Deal Discount.
Enter the Menu Discount Name as the deal should be shown to customers.
Select the Discount Type as "Fixed Amount", along with the Value of that fixed price should be when the conditions are met. The Tax Option will populate automatically based on your location.
Against Discounted items select "All Condition Items" to proportionally allocate the fixed price across your combination of items.
The Applies To option is typically set as "First Item Entered" in combo deal scenarios, to apply the deal to the items in the order that the customer added them into the basket.
For combo deal scenarios, the Discount Value Limit should be left blank.
