Use case: Early-bird tiers based on ticket numbers
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Let's say you run a conference with 400 tickets that has the following pricing scheme:
|
|
|
|
* First 100 tickets ("super early bird"): € 450
|
|
* Next 100 tickets ("early bird"): € 550
|
|
* Remaining tickets ("regular"): € 650
|
|
|
|
First of all, create three products:
|
|
|
|
* "Super early bird ticket"
|
|
* "Early bird ticket"
|
|
* "Regular ticket"
|
|
|
|
Then, create three quotas:
|
|
|
|
* "Super early bird" with a **size of 100** and the "Super early bird ticket" product selected. At "Advanced options",
|
|
select the box "Close this quota permanently once it is sold out".
|
|
|
|
* "Early bird and lower" with a **size of 200** and both of the "Super early bird ticket" and "Early bird ticket"
|
|
products selected. At "Advanced options", select the box "Close this quota permanently once it is sold out".
|
|
|
|
* "All participants" with a **size of 400**, all three products selected and **no additional options**.
|
|
|
|
Next, modify the product "Regular ticket". In the section "Availability", you should look for the option "Only show
|
|
after sellout of" and select your quota "Early bird and lower". Do the same for the "Early bird ticket" with the quota
|
|
"Super early bird ticket".
|
|
|
|
This will ensure the following things:
|
|
|
|
* Each ticket level is only visible after the previous level is sold out.
|
|
|
|
* As soon as one level is really sold out, it's not coming back, because the quota "closes", i.e. locks in place.
|
|
|
|
* By creating a total quota of 400 with all tickets included, you can still make sure to sell the maximum number of
|
|
tickets, even if e.g. early-bird tickets are canceled.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, if you want to hide the early bird prices once they are sold out, go to "Settings", then "Display" and
|
|
select "Hide all products that are sold out". Of course, it might be a nice idea to keep showing the prices to remind
|
|
people to buy earlier next time ;)
|
|
|
|
Please note that there might be short time intervals where the prices switch back and forth: When the last early bird
|
|
tickets are in someone's cart (but not yet sold!), the early bird tickets will show as "Reserved" and the regular
|
|
tickets start showing up. However, if the customers holding the reservations do not complete their order,
|
|
the early bird tickets will become available again. This is not avoidable if we want to prevent malicious users
|
|
from blocking all the cheap tickets without an actual sale happening.
