Usage Note
Rabais is invariable in the plural (des rabais) because it ends in -s. It is a common commercial term, used in phrases like vendre au rabais ('to sell at a discount') or accorder un rabais ('to grant a reduction'). It differs slightly from remise (a rebate negotiated directly) and soldes (official seasonal sales).
Examples
"Le magasin offre un rabais de dix pour cent."
Natural Translation
The shop offers a ten-percent discount.
