      Overview of the Promotion Tool

      With Alice POS, you can configure a diversity of promotions in order to offer promotional discounts to your customers.

       Promotions can also be applied to your customer orders. If the customer picks up the item post-promotion, they will still benefit from the promotion's discount.
