What this guide covers

This guide explains how to add discounts to quotes in JobsiteOn. You will learn how to apply line-item discounts, quote-level discounts, and how discounts appear on the customer-facing proposal.

Types of discounts

JobsiteOn supports two types of discounts:

Both types can be set as a percentage or a fixed dollar amount.

Adding a line item discount

  1. Open the quote builder at /quotes/new or edit an existing quote.
  2. Find the line item you want to discount.
  3. Click the discount field on that row.
  4. Choose Percentage or Fixed Amount.
  5. Enter the discount value.
  6. The item total updates to reflect the reduction.

Adding a quote-level discount

  1. In the quote builder, scroll to the Totals section at the bottom.
  2. Click Add Discount.
  3. Choose Percentage or Fixed Amount.
  4. Enter the discount value.
  5. The discount is applied to the subtotal before tax.

Tip: Use quote-level discounts for bundle deals or loyalty pricing. Use line-item discounts when only specific services are discounted.

How discounts appear on the proposal

Stacking discounts

You can apply both line-item and quote-level discounts on the same quote. The calculation order is:

  1. Line item discounts reduce individual item totals.
  2. The subtotal is the sum of all discounted item totals.
  3. The quote-level discount is applied to the subtotal.
  4. Tax is calculated on the discounted subtotal.

Note: Be careful when stacking discounts. A 10% line item discount plus a 10% quote-level discount does not equal 20% off the original price.
