Using Category Discounts in POS

Liberty Point of Sale module has a feature named Category Discounts.

Category Discounts allows you to put an entire range of items on sale, such as when you want to discount "all socks" or "all dresses". You can create an "all dresses are half-off" category and Liberty will discount these items automatically.

If you have a 2 or 3 Category Level, you can select any Category Level, and the discount will apply those items that are part of that category.

Example: If you select Category 1 - Antiques & Collectibles and under that you find sub categories such as Art, Comics, Figure, etc,  the discount will apply to all of the subcategories of Category 1.
