Let’s check below how happy hour discounts are visible and provided based on Product, Product Categories and Cart Total.

Product Happy Hour Discount

Admin selects particular products on which the happy hour discount shall be applicable. Once the POS User add the specific product to the POS cart, then the discount is applied automatically.

The Happy Hour discount details are also reflected in the Invoice as per image below,

Category Happy Hour Discount

When a customer adds a product from that category to the cart and the discount rule allows a Happy Hour discount, the system automatically applies the discount.

Cart Total Based Discount

If the admin sets the Happy Hour discount based on the cart total and the cart total falls within the specified range, the system automatically applies the discount.

For Cart total based discount also, the discount amount is reflected in the invoice as well,

The priority for applying happy hour discounts incase of multiple rules being active at a time works as follows in this plugin – Product>Category>Cart Total.

So that is all for the WooCommerce POS Happy Hours plugin.
