# Discount cards on the scanner

> Apply a customer's discount to their purchase, and record the spend.

When you scan a [discount card](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/discount-card.md), the right panel is a single keypad: type the bill and apply the customer's discount. There are no tabs, because there is only one action.

**Left panel:** the customer's current **discount %**, shown as a coloured tile on phones and as the top row on desktop. With it: **Last visit** and **Spend** (their cumulative spend). On a phone that is all you see; desktop and landscape tablets also show **To \[next tier]** (on a tiered card), **Member since**, and a card preview.

## Apply a discount

**1. Enter the bill amount**

Type the **bill amount** on the keypad. As you type, the panel shows how much the customer **saves** at their current discount, and what they **pay**.

**2. Apply**

Tap **Apply discount**. The button shows the saving (for example "Apply discount 4.50€"). This records the purchase and applies the discount. If the customer is at 0% (they have not reached a tier yet), the button reads **Record purchase** and simply logs the spend.

> [!NOTE]
>
> On a tiered card, when a purchase pushes the customer past the next threshold, they are **promoted for their next visit**, not the current one. A short "promoted to \[tier]" note appears as you type, so you can tell the customer their new level.

> [!NOTE]
>
> An [employee card](https://vexioncards.mintlify.site/knowledge-base/scanner-employee-discount.md) has a monthly limit instead of tiers. It has its own page.
