Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a cash registration apparatus and a cash registration program.

  In recent years, a sales promotion method has been common in which a membership card is issued to a member of the company and various preferential services are provided to customers who bring the membership card.

  Conventional cash registering devices such as POS terminals only have a function of collectively discounting from a subtotal by pressing a discount button, or a function of collectively discounting from a subtotal according to a member's rank.

  Therefore, the conventional cash registering apparatus cannot meet the request for setting the discount rate of the card issued by the company higher than the discount rate of the card of the partner and increasing the usage rate of the card issued by the company. In addition, the conventional cash registering device cannot meet the demand for setting whether or not a discount is available for each single item.
