Discounts on Items Sold by Weight – Scan, Manual or Scale-Driven Entry

Question

A grocery store using Clover POS with a connected CAS SW-RS scale is running promotions using the Mix or Match (Combo Builder) App. Their inventory includes items sold by weight (priced per pound), and they had two key questions:

  1. Will the discount apply whether the cashier manually enters the weight or uses the scale to capture the weight live?

  2. Can the app apply discounts to fractional weight amounts, such as 0.5 lb or less?

Because most of their fresh goods are sold in variable weights, they need to ensure the automation works in both checkout methods and applies proportionally even for partial pounds.


Answer

Yes — the Mix or Match App is designed to handle both scenarios without issue.

✅ Manual vs. Scale Weight Entry – Both Supported

Whether the cashier enters the weight manually (e.g., on Clover Flex) or the weight is pulled directly from the connected CAS SW-RS scale, Mix or Match applies the discount rules consistently. The app recognizes the item and its weight regardless of how the weight was provided.

✅ Discounts on Fractional Pounds – Fully Supported

Discounts are applied proportionally even when the weight is less than 1 lb. For example, if the rule is “$1.00 off per pound,” and the customer purchases 0.25 lb, the system will automatically apply $0.25 off.


This ensures full compatibility with common grocery store workflows and pricing strategies, helping merchants automate offers without worrying about how items are weighed or in what quantity they’re sold.
