Paid in item create apply in station

Creating and using an Apply-To-Station paid-in item follows the same process as creating Paid an item product and making it available for sale. There is, however, one small difference as it pertains to the purchase flow of that item.

In some cases, there are instances where an operator may want to include (and charge) an item that will be automatically purchased upon arrival at the destination station.

The case of a ferry station can be used to highlight this feature. A passenger who will be arriving at a ferry station by bus will typically have the intention of boarding the ferry to continue the journey to the final destination, so in this case, it may be convenient to include the cost of the ferry ticket in the price of the journey from the origin to the final destination.

As a separate ticket will be needed to board the ferry, for this case, the "Apply to station" item function is used.

In order to configure an “Apply in Station” paid-in item, go to Admin -> Items and select + Add New Item to arrive at the New Item screen to begin the configuration.

Continue filling in the common fields:

Name: Add the name of the apply in station item.

Type: Select the product from the drop-down menu to which you would like to associate the apply in station item. Apply in station items will only appear as selectable if Paid in item product is selected.

In a situation where more than one station along a passenger's route has an "Apply to station" item, the last station a customer passes through with an "Apply to station" item will be associated. This means you cannot have more than one item attached to a single ticket.

Now when buying a ticket, the Paid in item will be shown in the summary of what is going to be charged
