How to discount a set figure off the total bill

[DenizAltun]

hi i would like to find out how i can use the “Discount %” button to take off a fixed amount from a total order.

for example if the total of my order is £102.50, i want to be able to enter 2.50 into number pad and then hit “discount” and once i do this i want it to deduct £2.50 from my total order.

i do not want to use percentages.

thanks

Also check this tutorial. It shows (method 4) how to add a button that calculates discounts from amounts. So instead of entering 5.32 you can enter 100 (target amount) to deduct 5.32 from 105.32
