Adding Discounts to Invoices

Overview

You can add discounts to your invoices, easily offering customers a fixed amount or percentage off their total bill.

Discounts on invoices are available in two ways:

  1. As a new inventory item (new product)
  2. Apply discount directly to a line item on an invoice
