Is there a way to disable the “recently used” discount codes suggestions on the POS so that someone would have to know the code to use it?

Thanks

Hello @Absolutelee123 ,

We are OneCommerce - an eCommerce Solution Platform.

Whether or not it is possible to disable the “recently used” discount code suggestions on the POS system will depend on the specific POS software that you are using. However, many POS systems do allow you to disable this feature or modify the way it functions.

If you are not sure whether your POS system offers this option, you may want to check the user manual or reach out to the vendor or manufacturer of the POS system to ask if this feature can be disabled or modified.

Alternatively, if your POS system does not offer this option, you could consider changing the discount codes regularly to prevent customers from relying on the same codes repeatedly. You could also make sure that the discount codes are not displayed publicly and only shared with customers who are eligible for the discount. This could help prevent customers from guessing or sharing the codes with others who are not eligible for the discount.
