The OTD Price (Out the Door Price) feature lets merchants set a final all-inclusive price that the customer will pay — rather than applying a manual discount calculation. Quickvee POS automatically calculates the difference between the original subtotal and the OTD amount, and applies it as an order-level discount in the cart.
How to apply an OTD price
-
Add one or more products to the cart.
_Add%20one%20or%20more%20products%20to%20the%20cart-20260527-082943.jpg?cb=2f00081114e575ce3f6325d3f1a51529)
-
Enter the desired final amount using the on-screen numpad.
-
Tap OTD Price on the register.

-
The entered amount is automatically applied to the total cart amount.
-
The system calculates the difference and applies it automatically:
-
The cart displays a new line:
1 x Discount(OTD) — -$[amount] -
The Discount row appears in the cart summary with an ✕ to remove it if needed
-
Tax is recalculated based on the new adjusted amount
-
The Pay button updates to reflect the final OTD total
-
How the calculation works
The system works backward from the OTD amount entered:
|
Field |
Example |
|---|---|
|
Original Subtotal |
$49.99 |
|
OTD Price entered |
$2.00 |
|
OTD Discount applied |
-$48.16 |
|
Tax (on adjusted amount) |
$0.17 |
|
Final Total |
$2.00 |
The OTD discount is shown as a separate labeled line item — Discount(OTD) — keeping the transaction transparent and traceable in reports.
Removing an OTD discount
To remove an applied OTD discount before completing the sale:
-
Tap the ✕ button next to the Discount line in the cart summary

-
The cart reverts to the original subtotal and tax
