This page explains how to assign a discount profile to a client and how to apply a discount in the POS. ## Assigning a Discount to a Client 1. On the **Clients** page, press the edit client button to open the client's profile. 2. In the **Edit Client** prompt, press the **+Discount** button and choose a discount profile. From then on, the POS automatically prompts you to apply this discount to the cart when you check out this client.

Press the people icon. A discount profile prompt opens. 3. Select the profile to apply to this cart. {% hint style="info" %} This is a one-time use.
