Reservations

A reservation has a yellow icon on the customer card and can contain tickets, products, subscriptions, memberships, donations and/or gift cards that have not yet been fully paid. Reservations can contain partial payments, which will be shown on the customer card.  

Description 

Internal note and reservation expiration date


Add an internal order description that is visible in the customer report and on the order card. It is also possible to change the default expiry date and time. By default the the reservation will not be deleted from the system when the expiry date is reached, unless delete on expiry is set to yes. It also displays when it was last edited and by who.

Send reservation expiry email

Under the same tab you can set up an email reminder that will be sent on the selected time on the day of the expiration. So if the reservation expires at 23:00, you can send the customer a reminder in the morning. 

Additional delivery address

When the tickets should be sent to a different delivery address, the details of the alternative delivery address can be provided. The new address shows up in the order, on the PDF receipt and in the unprinted tickets report.

Click Go and the new price will be applied to the selected tickets.
