hello All,
I was just wondering how other companies do price type changes for subcription renewals. FOr example, when early bird pricing shuts off. Do you use pricing rules? Do you manually change them all?
I'll be curious what others do as well. We use price type dates to change to regular pricing automatically. Then I also remove access to the early bird price type from the web user since I still want early bird available internally.
Hi Grace,
Here in Pittsburgh, I recommend pricing rules to accomplish this. Rollover everything into the non-discounted price, and have your rules set up to do the price type change into the discount. The rules will fire on the orders when they are loaded to renew. Another way I've seen this done is through a seat cancelation and then re-roll into the non-discounted price... but that makes me twitchy as there is opportunity for error there. With rules, since the rollover applies the non-discounted price, the "risk" if the rule doesn't fire/something is wrong is that the patron pays full price and you could credit them if needed. With a seat cancelation and reroll, there is the potential for missing someone and dropping their seats prematurely. Happy to help answer and questions about the pricing rule configuration! I love them.
Best,
Katina
