A Suggestion on How to Easily Provide Your Employees with a Discount

If your employees are fortunate enough to receive a discount at their workplace, it can easily be set up in the system so that it's automatically applied to sales when they make purchases.  
​  
​**How to Do It:**

  
​**1\. Customer Groups**:

-   Go to **Customers** -> click on the **Arrow** in the top right corner and select **Customer Groups**.
    
-   Create a new Customer Group, name it something like "Employee" or whatever makes sense for you, and click **Save**.
    
-   Next, add your employees as customers in the Customer module or just add a single customer named "Employee". You can read more about adding customers [here](https://helpcenter.c1st.com/da/articles/3000636-oprettelse-aendring-og-sletning-af-kunder.md)
    
-   Now, assign the created customer group to the employees or the single customer named "Employee". Do this by clicking on the customer, clicking **Edit**, and selecting the customer group from the drop-down menu. Finally, click **Save**.

    **2\. Create a Campaign**:
    

-   Go to **Inventory** -> **Promotions** and click **+Add Promotion**
    
-   Create the campaign based on the discounts your employees receive.
    
-   In the example below, the discount type "% added to cost price" is selected, no item criteria are chosen, and the customer group "Employee" is selected. This ensures that the employee receives a discount on all items and that their price is the cost price.
    
-   Finish by clicking **Save**.
    
-   **Note**: VAT is automatically added to the cost price, even if the amount is 0%.
    

Other discount types can also be selected, such as "% subtracted", if employees should receive a 10%, 20%, or 30% discount. Item criteria can also be chosen, such as specific item categories or brands, if only these are eligible for employee discounts.

**3\. Apply the Discount**:

-   Go to the checkout, add the employee as a customer, then add the items.  
    The discount will then be automatically applied.
