Configuring Happy Hours Settings
After activating the plugin, store administrators can customize the customer-facing and cashier-facing text strings that appear on the POS terminal countdown timer, cart discounts, and receipts.
Accessing Configuration Settings
- From the WordPress administrative sidebar, navigate to Point of Sale → Settings.
- Select the Happy Hours tab (indicated by an hourglass icon).
Configuration Fields
The settings page includes the following customizable fields:
| Field | Description | Default Value | Where It Appears in POS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Countdown Timer Text | The label shown on the interactive countdown timer widget in the POS header. | Happy Hours | Top-right header bar on the POS home and category screens during active promotional windows. |
| Happy Hour Title | The title identifying promotional discounts applied at the product or category level. | Happy Hour | Printed on POS order receipts and invoice summaries next to qualifying discounted items. |
| Happy Hours Discount Fee Title | The title assigned to overall basket and cart-level promotional savings. | Happy Hours Discount | The cart total summary row, payment modal breakdown, and printed invoice receipt. |
| Happy Hour Discount Text | The descriptive label displayed next to individual discounted product amounts. | Happy Hour Discount | Item line rows inside the POS active cart view (e.g. -$2.70 Discount). |
Step-by-Step Configuration
- In the Countdown Timer Text field, enter the heading you want cashiers and counter shoppers to see on the live clock (e.g.,
Flash DealorHappy Hours). - In the Happy Hour Title field, enter your preferred receipt label for itemized product promotions.
- In the Happy Hours Discount Fee Title field, specify the label for cart total discounts.
- In the Happy Hour Discount Text field, provide the tag for line-item cart deductions.
