Discount Club is an additional Torgsoft option that automatically gives a customer a fixed discount when they have accumulated a specified purchase amount within a defined period. It is needed when you do not want to give discounts to everyone indiscriminately, but want to reward those who buy regularly. As a result, the discount is received by active customers, and you see the status of each of them.
The option is suitable for retail stores with repeat purchases: clothing, footwear, cosmetics, jewelry, children’s goods, and pet products. It solves a typical pain point — loyalty cards are the same for everyone, discounts are given by guesswork, and it is unclear which customers actually generate revenue.
The owner sets five parameters: discount percentage, amount and period of initial accumulation for joining, amount and period for membership confirmation. After that, the program checks the conditions every day and suggests whom to include in the club and whom to exclude. The final decision remains yours.
A closed club that brings customers back to the store
A fixed discount for meeting accumulation conditions — a reason to buy from you more often.
What a discount club is
The Discount Club manages customers’ fixed discounts according to a simple rule. Any customer receives a card with a fixed zero discount. When making purchases, the customer presents the card, and the amount is automatically accumulated on it. To become a member of the discount club, the customer must accumulate the specified amount within the specified period. If they reach it — they receive a fixed club discount. If not — the accumulated amount is canceled, and the count starts again.
Basic concepts
Club discount percentage
The fixed discount the customer receives after joining the club.
Initial accumulation
The purchase amount that must be made to join the club.
Accumulation period
The time in days within which the joining amount must be reached.
Membership confirmation
The purchase amount needed to keep the discount and remain in the club.
Confirmation period
The period in days within which membership must be confirmed.
Discount card
A personal customer card with a fixed discount of 0 at the start.
Who this option is for
Clothing and footwear stores
Seasonal purchases and high competition — the club keeps the customer close to you.
Cosmetics and perfumery
Regular small purchases fit well with accumulation and membership confirmation.
Jewelry and gift stores
A high purchase value — a fixed discount becomes a strong reason to return.
Children’s and pet products
Purchases repeat cyclically, so club membership is easy to maintain.
Who does not need it. The mode works only for retail sales. If you sell wholesale or have one-time purchases without customer return, the effect of the club will be minimal.
When to connect it immediately
- You already have regular customers and want to distinguish them from random ones.
- Discounts are given by guesswork, and it is hard to explain why some have a card and others do not.
- You want a transparent rule: the discount works as long as the customer buys for a specified amount within a period.
What tasks the option solves
How it looks before and after
Before
You give discounts by guesswork, and everyone has the same cards. It is unclear which customers actually generate revenue and who received a discount by chance and never came back.
After
Customers who have accumulated the specified amount within the period have a discount. The program shows every day whom to include in the club and whom to exclude. You see the status of each customer.
How it works: 6 steps
Connection and setup. In the menu Settings — Parameters — Club discount system, check «Use the club discount system» and set five parameters.
Card issuance. Issue discount cards to customers with the accrual method «Fixed discount» and percentage 0.
Accumulation. The customer presents the card when making purchases — the amount accumulates from the day it was issued.
Daily check. At the first launch of the program during the day, Torgsoft checks the conditions and creates a list of candidates for joining and exclusion.
Manual decision. In the «Club discount management» window, the owner, administrator, or seller confirms joining or exclusion. After joining is confirmed, the program automatically replaces the zero discount with the club discount percentage specified in the settings; when excluded — the discount is removed.
Membership confirmation. To keep the discount, a club member must buy for the confirmation amount within the relevant period. If the condition is not met, the customer becomes regular, and accumulation starts again.
Important. When generating discount cards, the discount accrual method must be «Fixed discount», and the discount percentage must be 0. The mode works only for retail sales.

Option capabilities
Scenarios by niche
Clothing store
The joining threshold is the average amount of two or three purchases per season. Those who reach it receive a club discount and stay with your store next season. Those who stop buying return to the regular price.
Cosmetics
A low joining threshold and a short confirmation period. The customer quickly becomes a club member through regular small purchases, and the discount motivates them to buy related products from you, not from nearby competitors.
Jewelry store
A higher accumulation threshold and a longer period. The club discount becomes a strong reason to return specifically to you for the next expensive purchase instead of a random store.
Example
A cosmetics store issues everyone cards with a fixed discount of 0. The owner sets the joining threshold and the period within which it must be reached, as well as the amount and period for membership confirmation. Customers carry the card, and the amount accumulates automatically.
Every morning when logging into the program, the owner sees a list of those who have met the joining conditions and those who have not bought for a long time and should leave the club. In a few clicks, they confirm club members. Only active buyers receive the discount, and it becomes visible which customers actually generate revenue. The example is provided for illustration.
