Managing Discount Categories

Discount categories define standard discounts you will be granting to your customers and resellers. You should create one or more before you proceed with the Hosting Plans definition.

Note: The discount category given to a reseller applies to the prices for services a reseller orders at provider as a customer, for their own, i.e., if a reseller visits HSP store and buys services for reseller account. The discount category does not affect settlements for re-sold services, to this effect, a special discount can be granted to a reseller - a partner discount. A partner discount is selected from the set of pre-configured discount categories and assigned to a reseller account > Financial Info tab.

To view, add, or change existing discount category, go to the Billing Director -Discount Manager - Discount Categories.
