Entering Promo code at checkout

I have seen at least one website that allows the customer to enter a promo code at checkout in which then it updates the carts contents with the new pricing for the performances that the promo code applies to. What series of API calls need to be used to achieve this type functionality? Second, I assuming that this can only be done with offers but would loved to know how/if this also can be done with a mode of sale switch especially when there is a performance in the current cart that is not available in the new mode of sale.

Thanks,

Marty

  • Marty,
    The Science Museum uses promo codes at checkout, but I cannot speak to the technical side of things. We are currently rewriting our online purchasing with a third party: Gorton Studios, so we can better manage offers, and a rather complex structure of pricing and member benefits.

    These promo codes are tied to Price Types, so by extension I guess, Modes of Sale. We are only able to report on these promos through T-Stats, there is no standard Tessitura report that gets granular enough to look at numbers of discounts used. But by using T-Stats in conjunction with Tessitura List Builder we can get all the detail a Marketing Department could ("reasonably") ask for. Again, I can't speak to the API, but set up in the System Tables is about three or four steps.

    Hope this helps.
    Ray
