In the case of multiple coupons, what is the initial step?

The initial step when dealing with multiple coupons is to scan the membership first. This procedure is essential because the membership verification process establishes that the customer is eligible for any discounts or promotions associated with their membership. Properly scanning the membership helps ensure that all applicable offers, including the use of multiple coupons, can be redeemed accurately and effectively.

Establishing membership upfront provides a clear relationship between the coupons being used and the member's eligibility for those deals, enhancing customer service and minimizing errors during the transaction process. Scanning items or overriding the system at the outset would not ensure that the necessary membership validation has been conducted, which could lead to complications during the checkout process.
