You have three ways to apply a discount:

Percentage: Enter a percentage to reduce the asking price.
Amount: Enter a dollar amount to discount from the asking price.
Selling Price: Enter the new price, and Bravo will calculate the discount percentage.

Bravo will auto-fill this amount based on your store settings. You can manually adjust it if needed.

💡 Note: If you change the selling price, the down payment amount will automatically recalculate based on your configured percentage.

Tax will be calculated automatically based on your store settings and any applicable tax rules for the customer or item.

When everything looks good:

The Commission Associate listed will get full credit for the New Layaway amount.
Bravo will print a receipt showing the layaway details and a label.
