Event Pricing (Advanced)

Description

Early Registration Discount	If a discount is to be provided for early registration, check this box. Two fields will appear where you may select the name of the coupon to apply and the last date of early registration. Note that the discount will automatically discontinue at 12:01 am on the date entered.
Group/Family Discounts	Discounts may be applied if a certain number of registrants register in the same transaction. Select ‘registrants’ and the coupon to apply from the drop-down menus.
‘Nth Registrant’ Group Discount	Select any coupons to apply for the Nth registrant in a group.

Event Groups / Collections

What is a Group?A group is defined implicitly. This means that when a name of a Group is typed into the text box, it becomes defined. Events that are associated with the same name become the “Group”. For a coupon to be activated, not all members of group must be selected. If two or more members of a group are selected, the coupons for each event are activated. Each event may have a different coupon applied even if they are all in the same group. Multiple coupons per event may be applied for the same event in one group.
Example #1

Event 1

Event 2

Above are the group tables for two different events. They are both a member of the group “Camps”. If the registrant registers for both events, then the group become “active”. This means that the coupons are activated. Event #1 will receive a 15% discount as well as a student discount. Event #2 will receive a 15% discount.
Example #2

Event 1	Event 2
Event 3

Above are the group tables for three different events. They are all members of the group “Camps”. If the registrant registers for a combination of two or three of the events, the group becomes “active”. Any coupons associated with the group will be “activated”. Note that Event #3 has no coupons associated with it. If a registerant registers for Events #2 and #3, Event #2 would receive a 15% discount. The price of Event #3 would remain unchanged. Since the registrant did not register for Event #1, it remains untouched.

What is a Collection?A collection is like a group, but to become “active”, a registrant must register for ALL members of the collection.
Example #1

Event 1

Event 2

Above are the collection tables for two different events. They are both a member of the collection “Camps”. If the registrant registers for both events, then the collection become “active”. This means that the coupons are activated. Event #1 will receive a 15% discount. Event #2 will receive a 25% discount.
Example #2

Event 1	Event 2
Event 3

Above are the collection tables for three different events. They are all members of the collection “Camps”. If the registrant registers for all three events, then the collection become “active”. This means that the coupons are activated. Event #1 will receive a 15% discount. Event #2 will receive a 25% discount. Because no coupon is associated with Event #3, it will receive no discount. Notice that the registrant must register for all three events for the discounts to occur. Had they registered for only Events 1 and 2, no discount would occur.
Volume Discount Rules
Rules can be defined to apply a coupon to a collection even when all members of the collection have NOT been selected. For example, if two of the three events are chosen, a 50% discount could be put on the second event. If a group is defined within “Volume Discount Rules”, a coupon can also be added specifically to apply to an individual event ONLY IF all members in the collection have been selected. This is done within the individual event settings and was explained above. See Volume Discount Rules for more information.

If coupons have been set up in the “Event Settings”, they must now be turned on for that event:
1. Click on the “Applicable Coupons” tab.
2. Select any coupons that apply to this event. Remember to check off any coupons you used for the event groups or collections.
