Merchant Description |
Enter the text to appear on a customer's credit card statement when admissions to this performance are purchased. You can also display this on the ticket.
Only the MiraServ payment gateway supports this field.
You can set a default description in the Registry. If you configure different descriptions within the Registry, series and performance, the performance's description will be used first and then the Registry default. The series description is only used when creating new performances for the series.
If more than one merchant description is associated with an order, such as multiple performances with different descriptions, the application will display the default description from the Registry. If there is no default, then no description is displayed. If you expect to have many orders like this, you may want to use the same merchant description for all series with the same producer and for non-producer series, since they can be included in orders that contain any other performances. |
|
Pop-up Description |
Enter an absolute HTML link to provide additional information about the series within the Customer Services application and online sales (e.g.http://www.ourtheatre.com/performance). A description link may have been configured at the series level, but entering a value in the field will override the series value.
Once you enter the link, you can click  to test the link in your browser.
Unless it is overridden at the performance level, the application displays a clickable icon on the Seats and Order tabs in the Customer Services application and displays the HTML page in a new window when users add admissions to an order. In online sales, this HTML page is embedded into various pages. Because of the limited space in online sales, you should test how the page appears.
When AudienceView displays the description in the Customer Services application and online, it displays the performance values first. If these are blank, then it displays the series values. If these are blank, nothing is displayed. If one or more of the values are the same for multiple performances within the series, fill them in at the series level. Where they differ for each performance, enter them at the performance level instead. |
|
Logo [1-2] |
Enter the absolute URL to the image you want to display on the Seat Selection page online (e.g. http://localhost/Online/images/logos/knight_black.png). The image will display to the right of the performance code.
'Logo 2' will appear in AudienceView Online:
-
to the left of the performance code
-
in the calendar
-
in the shopping cart for recommendations if no image is configured in series level 'Logo 1'
Acceptable image types include .GIF, .PNG, and .JPG and ideally should have a dimension of 31 x 31 pixels.
Once you enter the link, you can click to test the URL in your browser.
When AudienceView displays the logo online, it displays the performance values first. If these are blank, then it displays the series values. If these are blank, nothing is displayed. If an image/link is the same for multiple performances within the series, enter a value at the series level. Where they differ for each performance, enter them at the performance level instead.
Once you have created or saved changes to the series, after entering the path, clicking on the internet icon to the right of the field displays the image in a new window.
