Summary

This guide explains how to add and use percent-based cost cards in FlowerBuddy to calculate both costs and discounts. Percent-based cost cards are calculated against the pre-tax subtotal of all non-percent-based items and can be used for various purposes such as delivery charges or discounts.

How Percent Card Calculations Work

Percent-based cost cards are calculated against the pre-tax subtotal of all non-percent-based items, allowing users to add costs or discounts based on a percentage of these items.

How to Add a Cost Card

  • Navigate to the recipes tab.

  • Click the green percent cost button at the top of the section, or hover over the line between or below any existing recipe cards to reveal a menu.

  • Click the percent icon to add a percent-based card.

  • Expand the percent-based card and enter a whole number in the cost percent field.

  • Optionally, add a markup percentage in the markup field to include a profit margin.

How to Use a Percent Card for Discounts

  • Follow the steps to add a percent-based cost card.

  • In the cost field, enter a negative number to apply a discount.

  • The price will reflect the negative amount, reducing the overall cost.

  • The discount will automatically adjust based on any changes to the event quantities.

  • Amendments will recalculate the discount based on updated client numbers.
