ApplyDiscount and Custom Web Logic

Hi,

I'd like to hear from anyone who has used the ApplyDiscount method in tandem with custom web logic to allow them to apply discounts to certain prices based on an assessment of what is in the cart. The kind of thing we want to investigate is: If you buy 3 plays in our Studio season, get 10% off all tickets.

Standard Tessitura does not support this (yet!) so you have to build custom web logic. If anyone has done it I'd love to chat.

Thanks
Dale.

  • We report our online discounts via T-Stats. It is not real-time.  However, we don't have logic that requires a certain number of performances, it will discount all of a designated price type in the cart (which for us is everything).

    I was thinking of using that method until I found out that the revenue is not reported as a discount. Instead it reports the revenue at full price. I’m looking at using the UpdateSubLineItem or UpdatePriceType method. In conjunction with this, I’m creating a custom table where users can enter perf_no, discount rules, min# perfs, and sources. When something is added to the cart, we’ll use GetLocalProcedure (or GetLocalData) to check that table to see if the perf exists. If it does, look at the rules of the discount, the min#perfs and the source to check for promo code.

     

    That’s my plan anyway and I’m starting to configure this in January.
