Creating discounts

Post-sale discounts are common occurrences where customers receive a refund for a portion of the merchandise value or delivery price after the order has been shipped. These discounts can arise from various reasons related to the merchant-customer relationship.

EAS cannot directly retrieve partial refund information from stores. Therefore, you must manually log post-sale discounts in the EAS dashboard.

To log a post-sale discount:

  1. Navigate to the "Orders" section in the EAS dashboard.
  2. Using filter options find the order that is to be discounted.

  3. Click on the order number that to be discounted. Order details window will open
  4. In the upper right corner press "Create Discount"
  5.  In the dialog window for each item provide the desired discount amount, either as a percentage or a fixed amount.

5.   Press "Create order discount"
6.   In the confirmation window Confirm the discount, and EAS will create the necessary fiscal entries.

You can only create a post-sale discount for the item in the order once. If further reimbursements are required, you'll need to create a fiscal correction.

If the discount was applied in the same month as the original order paid, the corresponding VAT amount will be deducted from the monthly fiscal report. In cases where the discount is applied in the subsequent month, EAS will automatically create a correction entry for the post-sale discount VAT.

Remember to retain documentation, such as a copy of the order from your Shopify shop, to support the refund of the discount VAT.
