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?
Kinda. You could take the $ through one page giving to "On Account" and then move that money to fee's later but it does involve manual handling after the fact.
For 50+ vendors, that's a little too much effort on the back-end. We ended up adding a "Vendor" Price Type to the performance instead.
