Types of Offers

Instant Discount

Instant discount as a percentage of the transaction amount or a flat amount. For example, if the transaction is of the amount ₹10,000, the offer discount will be ₹1000. The amount that is posted to the bank for debiting is ₹10000 – ₹1000 = ₹9000. The offer discount is applied before the transaction is initiated.

Cashback

Cashback as a percentage of the transaction or a flat amount. For example, if the transaction amount is of Rs. 10,000, offer discount is of Rs. 1000, amount initiated in the transaction for debit would be Rs. 10,000 as cashback are settled later.

📘

Note:

Cashbacks need to be processed by the merchants with the banks. Create Cashback Offers only if you have an agreement with them or reach out to the Key Account Manager for additional support.

The cashback time period would be aligned basis merchant requirements. 

Merchants can create both instant discount and cashback offers across the following payment modes 

  • Cards (credit and debit)
  • Net banking
  • EMI (Credit and Debit) 
  • Wallets
  • UPI

No cost EMI

Interest charged from the customer can be completely discounted or given as a cashback. Please note that in case of Instant discount the principal amount would be discounted by a certain amount so that the amount customer pays as a sum of all the EMIs would be exactly as the amount of products/services purchased. In case of cashback the entire interest to be paid by the customer is provided as cashback to the customer.  

For example:

  • Product Amount:10000 
  • Interest Rate: 12% 
  • Tenure: 3 months 
  • Interest Paid by customer in case of Interest-Bearing EMI is Rs. 201
  • Instant Discount: Principal to be discounted by Rs 197 (Customer would pay Rs 3,333 every month) 
  • Cashback: In case of Rs 201 cashback will be refunded back to the customer (Customer would pay Rs 3400 every month)

Notes

  • The offer value will change depending on the bank and tenure selected by the customer. Additionally,  there is a small difference between the offer cost borne by the merchant in case of Instant Discount or Cashback as in the above example.
  • Cashbacks need to be processed by the merchants with the banks. Create Cashback Offers only if you have an agreement with them or reach out to Key Account Manager for additional support. The cashback time- period would be aligned basis the merchant requirement.
