titleNEW V1.11
A new type of price components, called external price components, allows you to define price components who come in addition to the catalog price. External price components are available since Allalin V3. The release Bishorn V1 adds some interesting features to the external price components:

  • You may want to define "fine-grained" external price components in your price grids for accounting or revenue sharing reasons but you don't want to provide full detail to your end customers. For example, several price components should be grouped into a single "convenience fee".

  • SecuTix allows you to modify the amount of an external price component during the sales process in the Box Office

Info
titleFee amounts in reservations
  • If you are performing an order in two steps (create a reservation first and pay the reservation later), you have to modify the amounts already during the reservation phase. You won't be able to do it anymore during the payment phase. This will ensure data consistency.
  • Note that you can still modify a reservation or add some new items during the payment phase. The remark above concerns only the items that have been reserved before.

Getting started

Simply define an external price component as modifiable in the price component detail screen:
