## Overview

### Feature Description

Verifone Integrated Promotions (VIP), also known as NAXML Promotions, refers to a feature that offers automatic discounts when a certain quantity and/or combination of items are sold in the same transaction. These items may be entered by scan, Price Look Up (PLU) number, PLU key or may be assigned to a menu, but all the items in the "deal" must exist in the PLU file "price book."

VIP supports both NAXML Combos and NAXML Mix\&Match. Both discounts work from item lists but while the NAXML Combo allows items from multiple lists, NAXML Mix\&Match requires items from a single list and is also known as "package pricing."

| Priority       | Allows certain promotions to take precedence over others that may share the same items (i.e. two different discounts, same item list).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| Price          | Sets the discounted price of the Combo. Priority of promotions is particularly useful when programs give discounts as more items are added in combination. For example: Promo1 - Discount for soda and chips (priority = low) Promo2 - Discount for soda, chips, and sandwich (priority = medium) Promo3 - Discount for soda, chips, sandwich, and salad (priority = high) Without the ability to set priority, promo 2 and 3 will never be realized, as the soda and chips will always form Promo1. The Default setting is medium. Any promotion that does not specifically identify the priority will be assumed "medium" by the system. |
| Pricing Scheme | Determines how the discount appears on the receipt.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

| Priority      | Allows certain promotions to take precedence over others that may share the same items (i.e. two different discounts, same item list). Priority of promotions is particularly useful when programs give discounts as more items are added in combination. For example: Promo1 - Discount for soda and chips (priority = low) Promo2 - Discount for soda, chips, and sandwich (priority = medium) Promo3 - Discount for soda, chips, sandwich, and salad (priority = high) Without the ability to set priority, promo 2 and 3 will never be realized, as the soda and chips will always form Promo1. The Default setting is medium. Any promotion that does not specifically identify the priority will be assumed "medium" by the system. |

#### **NAXML Combo Receipt**

![](/files/09f1f12c13a2bbf88665aa1617be477a9e2cf299)

*The receipt represents a Combo price by item deal: buy one or more items, get another item free.*

The Combo Deal created above consisted of multiple Item Lists. It was priced so that when a customer purchased a hot dog from the selected Item List, they receive a free small fountain drink.

The discount applied is the original price of the small fountain drink ($0.75).

#### **Mix\&Match Maintenance Tab**

NAXML Mix\&Match Deals, also known as "package pricing," allow multiple purchases from a single Item List (i.e. two or more deals from the same Item List).

Mix\&Match requires no special handling on the part of the cashier. As items are added or removed from the transaction, the system automatically calculates any applicable discounts. For example: a Mix\&Match NAXML Deal might require two for one or three for a reduced price deal.

#### Transactions

VIP (Enhanced Mix\&Match or NAXML Deal) requires no special handling on the part of the cashier. As items are added or removed from the transaction, the system automatically calculates any applicable discounts.

Item refunds involved in a Verifone Mix\&Match Deals are subject to store policies and procedures.

The deals are formed the following ways:

* For each line item entered, sales processing attempts to form a NAXML Mix& Match. If a match is not found, then a Combo match is attempted.
* For each line item, sales processing checks the PLU item lists associated with the line item and attempts to form a match. If a match is not found, it will check the department item lists and attempt to form a match.
* Once a NAXML Combo match is made, if additional items are entered, a higher priority Combo will be attempted.
* NAXML Mix\&Match transactions always determine a discount based on quantity. Therefore, Mix\&Match items are added or removed when a better buy is found.
* When a promotion is made, the Topaz will display the discount by name in the Tax and Total frame. If more than one discount is present in the system, the total of all discounts will be listed under the title "DISCOUNTS."
