Discount

In Zenskar, the phase-level feature discount is a discount applied to a specific product within a particular phase of a contract or plan


🧾 Types of phase-level feature discounts

Discount typeDescriptionExample
Fixed amountA specific monetary amount is subtracted from the feature’s price in that phase.A $10 discount applied to a $50 feature.
Percentage (%)A percentage of the feature’s price is deducted.A 20% discount applied to a $50 feature results in a $40 charge.

🧩 Key characteristics

  • Discounts are scoped to a single product within a specific phase.
  • The same product in a different phase may have no discount or a different discount.
  • Discounts affect both invoicing and revenue recognition.
  • Multiple discounts cannot be stacked at this level—only one discount per feature per phase is allowed.

šŸ”„ How Zenskar applies these discounts

  1. During contract creation or plan configuration, users can assign either a fixed or percentage discount to a feature within a phase.
  2. At runtime, Zenskar calculates the final price after applying the discount before generating invoices or revenue schedules.
  3. Revenue is recognized based on the discounted price, not the original price.

āœ… Example scenario

Suppose a contract has two phases:

  • Phase 1: First month (introductory)
    • Product A is priced at $100 with a 25% discount → $75 billed
  • Phase 2: Subsequent months
    • Product A returns to full price → $100 billed

This setup allows businesses to run time-bound promotional pricing without creating separate products or contracts.
