# Add or edit pricing discount

> Create or edit a named percentage discount and preview what it does to an item's price before saving it.

This page is where you create a new pricing discount or update an existing one. Use it to define a single reusable percentage value that can be assigned to clients so promotional and standard discounts stay consistent across the catalog.

You reach it from **Settings → Pricing → Pricing discounts** by clicking **Add pricing discount**, **Create pricing discount** on the empty state, or the **edit pencil icon** on an existing pricing discount card.

The form is split into editable fields on the left and a live **Preview** card on the right. The preview updates as you edit so you can check how the discount will appear on the [Pricing discounts](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/pricing/pricing-discounts) page and how it reads against a real item before saving.

<warning>

**Admin only.** Only organization admins can add, edit, or delete pricing discounts.

</warning>

## Add vs. edit

The same page is used for adding and editing pricing discounts.

When the page is saving, Requiply blocks the form with a loading overlay so the discount cannot be submitted twice or changed mid-save. On the edit page, the form is shown after the pricing discount record has loaded.

If the discount cannot be loaded, Requiply shows an error toast and returns you to the [Pricing discounts](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/pricing/pricing-discounts) page.

## General Information

### Discount name

The display name for the pricing discount.

- Required
- Used as the card title on the [Pricing discounts](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/pricing/pricing-discounts) page and inside the preview card
- Shows **Name is required** when missing
- Falls back to the field label as a placeholder in the preview when empty

Use a name that makes the rule easy to recognize on cards and during client assignment, such as `Loyalty discount`, `VIP 15%`, or `Corporate Partner 20%`.

### Discount (%)

The percentage applied when the discount is used.

- Numeric input with horizontal increment and decrement buttons
- Minimum of `0`
- Maximum of `100`
- Step of `0.5`
- Up to two decimal places allowed
- Displayed with a `%` suffix

## Preview

The right side of the page shows a live **Preview** card. It mirrors the pricing discount card shown on the [Pricing discounts](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/pricing/pricing-discounts) page (without the edit button), including:

- The discount name, falling back to the name label when empty.
- The discount percentage.
- The selected preview item's original price and the resulting discounted price, when an item is chosen.

### Item for pricing preview

The preview column includes an **Item for pricing preview** dropdown.

- Optional
- Lists item groups loaded for the organization
- Shows each option as the item name plus the item's price and price type
- Defaults to the first available item group when the page loads
- Can be cleared

Selecting an item lets the preview card render the discount against that item's price, so you can see the resulting numbers for a real item without saving.

<note>

The preview is **calculator-only** — it does not assign the discount to the selected item or to any client.

</note>

## Validation

The form validates before saving:

- **Discount name** is required.
- **Discount (%)** must stay between `0` and `100`.

Validation errors appear under the affected field so you can fix them before saving.

## Saving changes

Click **Save** or **Save changes** to store the pricing discount.

On the edit page, **Save changes** stays disabled until you change something compared to the loaded values.

On success:

- A success toast appears that includes the discount name.
- The discount is added or updated.
- If you arrived from another setup flow (using a `from` query parameter), Requiply returns you to that flow.
- Otherwise, you return to **Settings → Pricing → Pricing discounts**.

If saving fails, an error toast appears and the form stays open so you can try again.

## Deleting a pricing discount

When editing an existing discount, the page includes a red **Delete** action in the bottom-left corner.

Clicking **Delete** opens a confirmation dialog with a warning icon and a message asking whether you are sure you want to delete the discount. The message includes the original discount name.

After a successful deletion, Requiply shows a success toast and returns to the [Pricing discounts](https://requiply.com/docs/en/guides/settings/pricing/pricing-discounts) page. If deletion fails, Requiply shows an error toast and opens the error page.

<warning>

The delete confirmation does not list clients that currently have this discount assigned. Before deleting, review which clients reference the discount so their pricing is not affected unexpectedly.

</warning>

## Cancelling

Click **Cancel** to leave without saving. Requiply returns you to **Settings → Pricing → Pricing discounts**.

## Common scenarios

### Set up a first standard discount

1. Open **Add pricing discount**.
2. Enter a clear name such as `Loyalty discount`.
3. Set the percentage amount.
4. Pick an item in the **Preview** to sanity-check the resulting numbers.
5. Save the discount.

### Adjust a discount for a seasonal promotion

1. Open the discount with the **edit pencil icon**.
2. Update the percentage to match the promotion.
3. Save changes.

The list page and any clients using this discount will reflect the new percentage.

### Rename a discount for clarity

1. Open the discount with the **edit pencil icon**.
2. Update the name so it reads clearly on cards and in client assignments.
3. Save changes.

### Remove an unused discount

1. Open the discount with the **edit pencil icon**.
2. Click **Delete**.
3. Confirm the deletion.

Because the current form does not show usage warnings, review which clients reference the discount before deleting it.

## Tips and cautions

<tip>

**Tip:** Use the **Item for pricing preview** dropdown to sanity-check the discount value against a real item before saving. The preview reflects edits live without persisting any changes.

</tip>

<warning>

**Heads up:** The amount is capped between `0%` and `100%`, with steps of `0.5` and up to two decimal places. Values outside that range cannot be entered.

</warning>

<warning>

**Heads up:** Editing the percentage of an existing discount changes the rate for every client it is assigned to. There is no per-client override, and no historical record of the previous rate.

</warning>

<warning>

**Heads up:** Deleting a pricing discount is not blocked by client usage. Check which clients reference the discount before deleting so their pricing is not affected unexpectedly.
