Web Anonymous Login and Promo Codes

Anybody out there that uses an anonymous login on the web to allow the patron to shop prior to logging in with their own login. Do you allow the patron to use a promo code while they shop (Still logged in with anonymous)? Is there any issues with using the anonymous login with promo codes and then transferring the cart when the patron does log in?

 

Thanks,

  • HI Marty,  We use anonymous login and use promo codes as well.  We did have pop create the purchase path of our website.  But I can't recall any issues that came up for us.

  • Hello Marty

     

    The way we use promo codes is that you have to enter them before you add tickets to your cart. This then adds the discounted ticket price to the list of price options for the user, OR, it makes dates available to them when they weren’t before adding the code (this is where a promo code is linked to a MOS). Then the customer adds the tickets to their basket in the normal way.

     

    We had Pop do this for us, so whether entering the promo code also creates the anonymous login, I’m not sure.

  • Christopher,

     

    Do your customers have to log in as themselves before they can use a promo code?

  • Not for us.  You can use the promo code without logging in.  The website makes use of an anonymous customer id in tessitura.

  • Marty

     

    No. We use promo codes mostly for people who aren’t our existing customers, and we are usually offering a discount, or early access to tickets, on one show, so we send them to the relevant production dates page, where we have a promo code box and they enter their code, select the tickets, add to basket, go to checkout and then get the login/register prompt.

  • Marty,

    Just to add on to what others have said.  The TN_Express_Web product uses anonymous login and accepts promo before forcing user login.  There are controls on each page that allow the user to add a promo code.  If the promo entered is valid, the anonymous user is logged back in using that promo and the promo is stored in the ASP session.   All subsequent page loads will suppress the promo controls.

    When the user hits the login page (either forced by the checkout flow or by choice at any point before) they will see that the promo textBox will be inactive and have watermark text that tells them they have previously entered a promo. 

    The user is logged in as themselves with the promo (stored in ASP session) and transferSession is called.

    If you would like to view the functionality you can goto:

    express.tessituranetwork.com
    promo: testpromo 

    As this is an demo offer it will not adjust pricing for all perfs, but I believe the Planets perfs will be affected.

    Hope this helps
