You can set up Discounted products from the Discounting Products screen. A Percentage discount is configured directly when adding a Discounted Product and will be applied to the sale as soon as the Discounted Product is sold. ie. If you sell a discounted product with a 10% discount assigned to it, each product in that sale will also be applied a 10% discount
