Setting up Discounts in Cova (to Sync into Buddi)

Modified on Sat, 31 Aug at 3:55 PM

This guide helps you set up and manage discounts in Cova POS, ensuring they sync seamlessly with your Buddi menu.

There are two options to set up discounts in Cova for auto-syncing:

NOTE: With Option 2, the 'Promotions Fetching' feature must be enabled in the back-end of Buddi (by our team) for it to work.

Adding a Singular Discount in Cova
Option 1

Accessing the Product Listing in Cova Hub:

Adding a Discount to a Specific Product:

Syncing Discounts with Buddi:
optional (to speed up the sync)

Verify the Discount in Buddi:

Refresh the menu in Buddi to ensure the discount appears.
The product should now display the sale price in red with the regular price crossed out.

Setting up a Cova Promotion for Multiple Products
Option 2 - Promotions (Classic)

NOTE: Cova has two tools to set up Promotions. Please use the 'Classic' version; it's compatible with Buddi's Promotions Fetching feature.

Creating a Promotion in Cova POS:

Open your Cova Hub.
Under the 'Catalog' section, click on 'My Catalog' > 'Promotions' (Classic version).
Click 'Add Promotion'.
Enter a Promotion Name (e.g. 'Friday Pre-Rolls').
Choose the type of discount: Percentage Off or Dollar Amount Off.
Set the discount details:
- Select location(s) where the discount applies.
- Choose the frequency (e.g. every Friday).
- Set the start and end time according to your store hours.
- Specify the start and end date (if applicable).
- Apply the discount to all products or select specific products (e.g. all pre-rolls).

Syncing the Promotion with Buddi:
optional (to speed up the sync)

Verify the Promotion in Buddi:

If a product has multiple discounts, ensure they are correctly applied in Cova POS.
Use the Cova Hub to search for the product by UPC.
Verify the pricing and ensure the correct discount is displayed.

Syncing and Verifying in Buddi:

Sync the products in Buddi using the 'Sync New Products' button in 'My Menu'.
Refresh the menu and verify that the correct discounts are displayed.

Setting up Future Discounts:

We recommend setting any future sales in Cova > 'Promotions'. Our system can't recognize future-dated sales created within individual products (option 1 above), so please enter them within Promotions in Cova (option 2 above).
