Discounts for registered customers

From ISPWiki

The provider can grant discounts on his products and services. The amount of a discount depends on the order period or the number of items a customer purchases. The discounts can be provided without special conditions. For more information about discounts in BILLmanager, please read System of discounts.

The discount can be given to:

• all customers. If you are using BILLmanager Standard you may create and manage discounts in the Global discounts module.
• a group of customers. See the Customer group -> Group discount management
• a particular customer. See the Customer management module -> Discount management

This module can be used for managing affiliate program discounts: you can add new discounts, change their parameters and remove them, if necessary.
