'Attach to ticket' Paid in item
For those accounts which are ready to work with the simplified sales flow, there is an option to associate paid in items to a ticket purchase which can represent a percentage of the ticket price or just for a fixed price. To be sure the account is able to do that, go to Admin -> Setup and check the value of the “Use simplified sales flow with reservation products" flag in the first white card. If it's checked, we are ready to start working with those paid-in items set as Attach to Ticket:
The starting point to get this functionality working is to have a paid in family product already created and set to work in backoffice. Go to Admin -> Product Lines and check if the account has the right product having the paid in product family in place and check if it's properly set:
We'll always have the chance to create a new one if required with the Add New button.
What we need now is to have an item associate to that paid in product. If we go to Admin -> Items and edit one of them, we'll notice the Type field will show the different options of Paid in products. We need to choose one of them. But that's not the only setting required, since we need to turn the Attach to Ticket flag ON and doing so we'll have the chance to set a Product related from a list of Reservation products in order to get it working along the simplified sales flow:
The amount value is the precentage which will be applied to the related ticket price, or a fixed amount to include, by the time we'll be checking out our purchase along the simplified sales flow of the Reservation family product we already set:
First thing to notice is the paid in item name will be shown under the Additional services section of each passenger card, so we could select them in a per passenger basis. By the time we select it, the calculated percentage over the ticket price or the fixed amount to be applied over it, will be displayed right next to the paid in item name. In this sample we wanted to purchase three tickets, two adults and one child, but we chose the Extra bag paid in item for the first and the third passenger only, one adult and one child. If we take a look at the Summary section, we'll find 2 x Extra bag items listed there, with the right price already calculated, which in this case is the 50% of the associated ticket price.
After checking out we'll have not only the three different tickets in the shopping cart, which were created with the proper trip for the different passengers, but also notice two extra items having the information of the associated ticket and passenger, belonging to the paid in items purchased:
