How Fuze Store POS Pricing Works

Fuze Store POS calculates the final price for each order based on item prices, modifiers, taxes, discounts, and fees. Here is how each step works.

Per-Item Calculation

Each item in an order goes through these steps:

• Base Price or Special Price -- The item starts with a base price. If a special price (promo) is active and within its valid dates, the system uses it instead.
• Modifiers -- Extras or options (like extra toppings or a larger size) add their own price to the item.
• Tax -- If the item has a tax attached and tax is set to be excluded, the system removes the tax before discounts are applied.
• Item Discounts -- You can apply multiple discounts to an item. Each discount can be a percentage (like 10% off) or a fixed amount (like P20 off).
• Quantity -- The item total is multiplied by the quantity ordered.

If tax is included in the price and not excluded

1. Start with the base price (or special price).
2. Add the price of any modifiers.
3. Subtract any item discounts.
4. Multiply by the quantity.

If tax is attached but set to be excluded

1. Start with the base price (or special price).
2. Add the price of any modifiers.
3. Remove the tax:
   • For percentage tax, divide by (1 + tax rate).
   • For fixed tax, subtract the fixed tax amount.
4. Subtract any item discounts.
5. Multiply by the quantity.

If no tax is attached

Follow the same steps above, but skip the tax removal step.

Order Summary Calculation

After all items are calculated, the system builds the order total:

1. Add up the totals for all items.
2. Subtract any order-level discounts or custom discounts.
3. Add any service fees.
4. Subtract any gift card amounts.
5. Add any delivery fees.

The result is the final amount your customer pays. Every step is visible on the order screen so you can see exactly how the total was calculated.

Example Calculations

Example 1: Basic Item

A customer orders:

• 1 Burger (P200 base price)
• Add Cheese modifier (P25)
• 20% item discount (percentage)
• 12% tax (included in price, percentage)
• Quantity: 2

Calculation:

1. Base price: P200.00
2. Add modifier: P200.00 + P25.00 = P225.00
3. Apply item discount: P225.00 - P45.00 (20%) = P180.00
4. Multiply by quantity: P180.00 x 2 = P360.00
5. If tax is excluded: P360.00 / 1.12 = P321.43

If you add a P50.00 custom discount (fixed) and a P20.00 service fee (fixed) to the order:

Summary = P360.00 - P50.00 + P20.00 = P330.00

Example 2: No Tax Attached

A customer orders:

• 1 Pasta (P150 base price)
• Add Garlic Bread modifier (P30)
• 10% item discount (percentage)
• No tax attached
• Quantity: 3

Calculation:

1. Base price: P150.00
2. Add modifier: P150.00 + P30.00 = P180.00
3. Apply item discount: P180.00 - P18.00 (10%) = P162.00
4. Multiply by quantity: P162.00 x 3 = P486.00

If you add a P36.00 custom discount (fixed) and a P50.00 delivery fee (fixed):

Summary = P486.00 - P36.00 + P50.00 = P500.00

Example 3: Mixed Items with Multiple Fees and Discounts

A customer orders:

• Item 1: 2 Pizza (P300 each, 12% tax included)
  • Extra Cheese modifier (P40)
  • 15% item discount
• Item 2: 1 Salad (P120, no tax)
  • Chicken modifier (P35)
  • 5% item discount
• Item 3: 3 Iced Tea (P60 each, 12% tax included)
  • No modifiers or item discounts
• Item 4: 1 Cake Slice (P90, 12% tax attached but excluded)
  • Fruit Topping modifier (P20)
  • 10% item discount

Order-level adjustments:

• 10% order discount (percentage)
• P50 custom discount (fixed)
• P30 service fee (fixed)
• P40 delivery fee (fixed)
• P100 gift card discount (fixed)

Item 1: Pizza (tax included)

1. Base price: P300.00
2. Add modifier: P300.00 + P40.00 = P340.00
3. Apply discount: P340.00 - P51.00 (15%) = P289.00
4. Multiply by quantity: P289.00 x 2 = P578.00

Item 2: Salad (no tax)

1. Base price: P120.00
2. Add modifier: P120.00 + P35.00 = P155.00
3. Apply discount: P155.00 - P7.75 (5%) = P147.25
4. Quantity: P147.25 x 1 = P147.25

Item 3: Iced Tea (tax included)

1. Base price: P60.00
2. No modifiers or discounts.
3. Quantity: P60.00 x 3 = P180.00

Item 4: Cake Slice (tax excluded)

1. Base price: P90.00
2. Add modifier: P90.00 + P20.00 = P110.00
3. Remove tax: P110.00 / 1.12 = P98.21
4. Apply discount: P98.21 - P9.82 (10%) = P88.39
5. Quantity: P88.39 x 1 = P88.39

Subtotal:
P578.00 + P147.25 + P180.00 + P88.39 = P993.64

Apply order-level discounts:

1. 10% order discount: P993.64 - P99.36 = P894.28
2. Custom discount: P894.28 - P50.00 = P844.28

Add service fee:
P844.28 + P30.00 = P874.28

Subtract gift card:
P874.28 - P100.00 = P774.28

Add delivery fee:
P774.28 + P40.00 = P814.28
