Octopus Integration - Discounts
Introduction
This article explains Octopus discounts which will be
accommodated via Open Receipt Discount and reflected in Linga POS, Back
Office, Reports and Dashboards.
Implementation in Octopus
BOGO
Offer
The BOGO Offer (Buy One, Get One free) provides customers with two items for the price of one, wherein a single item is priced at $10, and the offer applies to a total price of $10 for two items. This results in a discount of $10.
This offer allows customers to receive an additional item at no extra cost when they purchase a qualifying product. For example, if a single item is priced at $100, the customer pays $100 and receives one additional item for free.

Example: In Octopus,
when a customer orders a BOGO item
priced at $101.89, the total cost for both items
remains $101.89 (before Tax). The added discount product is
$57.22 and will be excluded in the
billing and under the BOGO offer.
Implementation in POS
Buy Z Get Y Discount (Percentage and Amount)
Amount
Under this promotion, the customer purchases Item Z
at its standard price of $50, and Item Y is added as a secondary item priced at
$57. A discount of $10 is applied specifically to the second item. Accordingly,
the total payable amount after applying the discount becomes $97.

Amount Off Order (Percentage & Amount)
Percentage
This
offer gives a Percentage-Based Discount. That means the discount is
calculated as a percentage of the total bill. In this case, 10% of $81.20 is $8.12,
so after this discount the customer pays $73.08.

Amount
The
amount-based offer gives a flat $10 discount on the same total, resulting in a
final amount of $71.20. In short, one offer reduces the price by a percentage,
while the other reduces it by a fixed amount.

Notes:
- If any combination discount applies to any of the above offers, the same discount name and amount should be used consistently
- The name is dynamic — whatever is set on the e-commerce side will reflect in Octopus and then flow through to the POS application
- The POS will display the actual discount as configured in the e-commerce platform
- In the back office, these discounts are referred to as third-party discounts
- Currently, the delivery feature is not available, so delivery-related discounts are not applicable at this time. However, support for delivery discounts is planned for an upcoming release.
During
the Close Day process: the values for item discounts will be applied in
the Item Discount column. These values should also be reflected
accurately in the close day receipt.
Receipts
In the below
sample receipt: the discount amount will be clearly visible wherever the Discount
field appears, and this will be consistently reflected across all relevant
receipts.
