My museum typically has been using a contribution/donation form for our Community Day vendor payments. However, our finance manager wants us to switch to using Fees, since these are actually tabling fees and not a donation to the museum.
We use fees all the time for Front Desk and back-end sales, but for this we need the vendors to be able to buy their own table via TNEW. I know many places attach fees to tickets (shipping and handling, etc.), so I know it's possible to use fees in TNEW. But is it possible for the fee to be a standalone thing in TNEW? Or does it have to be attached to a ticket?
Short answer: no.
What kind of volume are you talking about? In the past we've used donation forms with on-account methods, and then manually transferred the money to the place we wanted it.
Typically we have about 50 vendors, which is way too many to be manually transferring money over.
