Selling Gift Shop Merch. using Tessitura

Hi – We use Tessy completely to run our online gift shop system http://www.strathmore.org/shop/, but don’t use it in person.  I imagine though it would not be too difficult, but I don’t know if it would do stuff like scan bar codes.  If you only have a few products like t-shirts, mugs and hats it would probably work OK.

Ours is just too large (thousands of products), so we use a POS system in person that scans in manufacturer bar codes and creates bar codes for our hand made products that don’t have any. We considered using our POS system to run the online shop too, but it would have required two separate log in and carting processes for our patrons, and they would never be able to add merch onto a ticket order.

Best,

Jen

Hello Fellow Tessitura Network people;

I just realized this is my 1st post in the forums, so I'll introduce myself while I'm here.  I'm Sean Rector, the IT Manager for Virginia Opera Association in Norfolk, VA.

We would like to use Tessitura to sell merchandise in our Gift Shop.  We haven't purchased hardware yet, nor have we set anything up in Tessitura; we're looking at starting from the ground floor on this project.  We'd ideally like to have it up and running by September.  I'm envisioning the use of a touch-screen PC w/ a limited interface & card-swipe for credit card processing.

Your recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Sean
