Waiving fees online

Former Member
Former Member $organization

Our marketing department would like to send out offers which will waive our handling fees instead of a specific discount.  In the past we've always had these offers only available by phone so our ticket sellers can manually waive the fee.  Does anyone know if this is possible to do through a promotional code on the web?

Thank you!

  • Julia,

     

    You can do the Offer with a price type that does not have a fee attached to it.

    Hello Julia,

    In TR_WEB_SOURCE_NO you could assign offers via a promo code to a specific Web MOS other than the default and then exclude that MOS from Fee Rules.

    You can do this with a promo code linked to a mode of sale that does not have fees linked to it, or you could set up ranking that would put them into a specific mode of sale without fees. We have it set up so that patrons who donate a certain amount of money are given ranking and their rank will not charge them fees online or on the phones.

  • Reopening an old thread here with a question about online fee waiving - 

    I'm trying to have fees waived for renewing subscribers on our website, and am hoping to do it using our Web Discount MOS.  In the Fee Rules for our 2014 Sub Fee, I do not have this MOS selected.

    I've added the Web Discount MOS to all perfs and packages.  I've associated it with the right price types in TX_MOS_PRICETYPE and ship methods in TX_MOS_SHIPMETHOD.  It has active start/end dates in all areas.  Finally, I've created the source in the correct appeal (right now, an outside source for my testing purposes), added the source to TR_WEB_SOURCE_NO, and added an Offer to the MOS in Season Maintenance with all 3 of our Sub Price Types.

    Yet, when I try an order using the promo code at log-in, the fees are still there!

    My guess is that this is because even though the MOS is not selected in fee rules, the package, perfs, delivery method, and price types ARE.  I would assume MOS would override this... But perhaps no?  

    Let me know if I can be more clear - THANK YOU!

    In order for a fee to show it should have both the Price Type and MOS. Have you tested it with that MOS and Price Type in Tessitura and is the Fee still showing there? Some of us have crazy web applications that have things hard coded in the Web API and you would never know it from the outside.

  • Bringing this old post to the top. Has anyone waived online handling fees without a promo code having to be entered? Ideally, we want our donors, who have a certain constituency, to log in online. Just by them logging in- this would waive our per ticket handling fee for them. Thanks!
  • Hi Jessica,

    We do this using a precart customization that inspects the customer's constituency codes after login and does a MOS shift when necessary. I believe another common solution is to use ranking-based MOS shift.

  • Hi Jessica,

    We use rankings for this on our Subscribers' accounts. When a Subscriber logs in, the ranking attached to their consituency switches the MOS, so they get access to the subscriber discount as well as don't pay service charges.
