We have an event coming up that I need to be able to sell tickets online that can be both paid for during checkout or invoiced at a later time. We are using TNEW. The event will have a lot of attendees from schools that teachers will be registering as a group and paying for with a school check once they receive an invoice.
The way I originally approached this was to create a new price type called "Invoice" that is priced at $0. These are sold online and the Box office would return these tickets for a different price type and pay for them with an Invoice payment method. A little clunky but seems to work.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a cleaner way to do this. I'd like to be able to issue a "valid" ticket during the web order without having to mess with returns. I researched using payment plans but this didn't work as I needed. Does TNEW support any pmt method other than CC without customization?
Thoughts?
Hi Todd,
You can allow an order to be completed without payment. This is controlled with an MOS setting, so it might be helpful to use a different MOS for these orders and keep using your normal MOS for all other orders so that they continue to be paid.

Thanks for the reply.
I ended up accomplishing this by using Payment Plans. I setup a payment plan with a single payment due, 30 days out and set the initial payment due $0. It does require the user to enter a credit card even though the card is not charged initially.
I will play around with a MOS shift for "next time."
