Partial offers can be created so that customers have the option of selecting only a portion of the admissions being offered to them. Only offers with a 'Redemption Type' of Partial can be partially accepted. Only the admissions can be selected, if other items exist on the partial offer (i.e. bundles, miscellaneous items and gifts) they will be added to the first order. They cannot be partially accepted. Once the items have been added to an order, the remaining offer will not have access to them. The portions of the offer that have already been purchased will remain visible in the offer, but are not accessible. Once a partial offer has been completely filled, the 'Status' will change from Partially Accepted to Accepted.
