Everywhere else, alcohol is included like any other item. ## Discount-Blocked Products Products marked as **Block discount** are excluded from the discountable value, unless the discount code has **Overrides block discount** enabled — in which case it applies to the full order, including those products. ## Fees and Adjustments Whether a discount also applies to fees and other adjustments (e.g., delivery fee, deposit return scheme, etc.) depends on the discount's **Includes adjustments** setting: * If disabled, the discount applies to items only. * If enabled, the discount applies to the full order, including adjustments. Tips are never discounted, regardless of this setting. ## Discounts and Vouchers When a customer uses both a discount and a voucher on the same order, the discount is applied first. The voucher's value is then calculated based on the discounted total. ## Using Discounts Together with Points and Vouchers Discounts, points, and vouchers can all be applied to the same order — customers aren't limited to using just one. This still works even when the order includes alcohol, discount-blocked products, or a tip, since each value is calculated dynamically. See [Meals and Proportional Exclusion](/discounts/discount-block-web-app-only/meals-and-proportional-exclusion.md) for how this works when a meal contains an alcohol or blocked item. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.bossithq.com/discounts/using-discounts.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
