Email how it works

When logged into the back-office with a user (for example, your_user@betterez.com) that is simultaneously used as the email of the transaction (your_user@betterez.com), the user WILL NOT receive a confirmation email with the pdf ticket. The reason is that the system sees that the person logging in is the same customer completing the transaction. Since the person making the purchase has access to the back office, the system assumes that the user does not require the confirmation because he/she has access to the back-end of the system and will be able to find the transaction and ticket to print, if necessary.

Search box

You can find the search box on the top right corner, next to the Admin Menu from every page in the Betterez System. Click on the Magnifier Glass Icon or press Alt+F to be able to type in the box.

Reconciliation formula

For tickets that were changed, the original transaction that generated the ticket and ticket info remain the same and offset each other. To record the change, the system will create a new transaction with "0" balance, in which you will see a new ticket with the ticket amount, and a refund with the same amount. So using the formula above you will have tickets minus refunds equals transactions which is 0.

Refunds

Keep in mind if any of these tickets need a companion. The system will show a warning message if there are any restrictions.

Connections

For example, say that the system has found two trip results, one that departs at 8AM and arrives at 10AM, and another trip that departs at 8AM and arrives at 11AM.
If you have set For each available departure time, display the 1 fastest connecting trips, the system will discard the trip that arrives at 11AM because the trip arriving at 10AM departs at the same time, and is faster.

Pricing - parcel zones

In the provinces select box you can select multiple provinces/states. These provinces will be matched with the origin station when making a sale to find the correct zone to calculate prices. If multiple zones match, the first zone will be used, usually the older zone on the system but this is not guarantee.

Using promo codes

  • When configuring a “valid amount of uses”, the system counts the number of times a promo code is applied to the shopping cart, which is the same as the number of transactions where the promo was entered. This is separate from the number of tickets, and there could be more than one ticket per transaction.

Payment Providers: Default Referenced payment methods

In all cases, the general mechanic behind each payment type involves interaction with an external service where a unique reference number is obtained. These payment types are asynchronous as it is the extermal system who will update the status of the payment before processing the reservation based on the unique reference number. There are 3 status that can be returned by the external service:

Parcel fare type

  • For oversize packages, you can create another fare class. Follow the steps above except, when it comes to entering maximum dimensions, increase the weight limit and under 'Adjustment Type' drop-down list, choose '% percentage', '$ dollar' or 'override price', and enter the appropriate values. See an example below where 'override price' is selected. Note that for the '% percentage' option, the system will pull the route price from the appropriate zone table, and apply the overrage % to it.

Insurances

If there are insurances in the system you will see a list of the insurances in the page. If there are no insurances you will be invited to create one.

Changing a ticket

When a Flexpass is configured to be "redeemed in advance, " customers can enter the sales flow to reserve a seat before their trip and "pay" using their flex pass. Tickets that were generated from a flexpass redemption can be changed or cancelled to free seats. However, the system will not grant any credit for the change operation to prevent fraud.
