What are subsidies?
Subsidies let you split payment for an order between the user and an organisation, such as a school or employer.
You decide how much the organisation covers, and how much the user pays themselves. This means a meal can be fully covered or partly covered.
What are allowances?
Allowances are used to limit how much of an order an organisation covers within a set time period. Once the allowance has been used, the user pays the remaining amount according to the subsidy setup.
You can set an allowance based on either a value amount ($) or a number of products.
The following guides will show you how to set up subsidies and allowances:
Step-by-step guide to setting up a subsidy
Step 1: Go to admin.kanpla.dk
Step 2: In the left menu, go to Settings and select Allowances & subsidies
Step 3: Click + Add in the top right corner to create a new subsidy
Step 4: Enter a name for the subsidy, for example “Company X, 20%”
If you manage several clients, we recommend including the company name in the title so the subsidy is easy to recognise later
Step 5: Choose the subsidy type:
Flat amount if the user should get a fixed discount, for example £4 off
Percentage if the user should get a percentage discount, for example 40% off
Step 6: In the Billing field, enter the amount or percentage that should be invoiced to the organisation. The rest of the order amount will be paid by the user
Set the scope of the subsidy
Step 7: Select the location or locations where the subsidy should apply
Step 8: Select the module or modules covered by the subsidy
If no module is selected, the subsidy will apply to all modules in the selected location(s)
Step 9: If the subsidy should only apply to certain products, select them in the product section
Step 10: Click Save
If you stop here, you have created a subsidy that applies without an allowance.
If you choose a percentage-based subsidy, you can also add an allowance. An allowance lets users receive a fixed value or number of products within the time period you choose. Once the allowance has been used, the user pays according to the subsidy setup until a new period begins.
