Introduction
Sales Channels can be used to limit the percentage of Max4Sale items that are sold in a certain salespoint group. One Sales Channel can be assigned to multiple Max4Sale limits and a Sales Channel can also handle multiple salespoint groups.
Note: Sales Channels only works with Max4Sale, it does not work with Points4Sale
Example:
You have a special exhibit event that will take place on March 5th at 8:00 P.M. The requirements are:
• This event has a max4sale limit of 100 and you would like to sell this event on E-Commerce, reservation salespoints, and your ticket window salespoints.
• You would also like to limit the amount of tickets that can be sold by each salespoint group as follows: E-Commerce (80%), Reservations (90%), and Ticket Windows (90%).
• Finally at 7:00 P.M. (one hour before the event starts) you would like for all remaining tickets to become available.
If you want to use Sales Channels with E-Commerce module, you will need to create a Salespoint that the E-Commerce site itself (ww.dll) will use. It is not Sales Host in this case as Sales Host processes transactions after the sale is complete and therefore would not show the correct Max4Sale numbers on the pages.
• Create a new salespoint that is the same name as used for ww.dll. In most cases this will be WWSP. When creating the salespoint, choose the Reporting mode as this is unlicensed.
