Find My Order in Kiosk
Configuration Location: Commerce > SaffireTix > Locations > Add/Edit Location type = kiosk
When a customer arrives at your event and cannot access their order on their personal device for any reason, you can now have specific Kiosk Locations set to have Find My Order. This button will provide customers with a way to lookup their orders either with the last 4 digits of the purchasing credit card AND either the Order# or Email.
Note: If you do not see this option in your Location Settings, please reach out to us at support@saffire.com to have the functionality turned on for your site.
Custom $0.00 Payment Type - Vet Tix
You can now assign a Custom Payment type to $0.00 orders. This will allow you to track your comps and donations for instances such as:
- Vet Tix
- Sponsors
- Media
- Trade
- Donations
- etc.
In Box Office, you will be able to create your full order and then select which custom payment type is to be used using the Other button and dropdown before clicking SUMBIT to complete the order.
Using this method with the Payment Type: Vet Tix will allow you to leverage our integration into the Vet Tix platform while not reporting tickets as being revenue in the Sales Report and Audits. This will no longer give you clear visibility of a Donation $ amount as the reporting will show $0.00.
