# Overview

By building a loyalty integration with Future Ordering, it will enable discounts to be applied to an order in real-time, meaning the discounts are applied to the order as the guest makes changes. There is also the possibility to display deals in Future Ordering Frontend even though the deals actually reside in an external loyalty system by building frontend extensability plugins.

1. [User Handling](handling-users)
2. [Discount Handling](handling-deals/overview.md)
3. Discount codes & coupons (coming soon)
4. Frontend Extensibilty [Frontend Plugins](../frontend-plugins/plugins-intro)

If the external loyalty system also has the capability to generate discount codes, it is possible to build "code interpretation" endpoint so that a guest can enter a discount code in Future Ordering Frontend, but the request is sent to the external loyalty system to check its validity.

:::info
A limitation in Future Ordering is that these discounts only can be applied to an order if the order is created in mobile app or browser. Currently, it is not possilbe to add discounts to orders created in kiosks. This is planned to be supported.
