Delivery Cart Add-Ons
Commerce Settings include key components which apply to products you create - both ticketed and non-ticketed - and to your customer shopping cart.
If you don't have eCommerce enabled on your site, you won't have access to this section. Contact support@saffire.com if you're interested in selling online!
Spark location: Commerce > Commerce Settings
Sales Tax
The percentage added to this field will apply to all products with Sales Tax enabled which are added to the shopping cart. Sales Tax must be enabled per product under Advanced Options. If you do not need to add Sales Tax, enter 0 in this field.
Transaction Fees
Transaction Fees are applied one time to an entire purchase. They are commonly used for credit card processing fees predetermined by your payment gateway.
You can create a new Transaction Fee by clicking Add Transaction Fee and inputting the following:
- Name of the fee
- Add a description or explanation of the fee. We require descriptions so you can give your customers a brief explanation of why they're receiving this fee. Example: This charge is for processing your order and making the item(s) available to you.
- Choose to apply a dollar ($) amount fee or a percentage (%) amount fee. We suggest you make the decision based on the average price of the products/tickets on your site.
- Determine whether the fee should be applied to Online sales or Box Office sales - or both!
- Choose whether to Apply sales tax to this fee
- You also can choose whether to keep the fee from being discountable.
- Click SAVE
Like all Spark features, to modify an existing Transaction or Product fee, hover over the fee name and select Edit. You can also Copy to use an existing fee as a template when creating new fees, or Deactivate to disable the use and application of the fee. If you create products that are exempt from taxes and/or fees, you can specify that on the product itself under Advanced Options.
Product Fees
Product Fees are also enabled on a product level and apply to each applicable product in the cart. They are commonly used for Convenience or Facility fees. Unlike Transaction fees, this fee type can be created in either your Commerce Settings or while building the product itself. If created during Product build, you will need to navigate to Commerce Settings to modify.
You can create a new Product Fee by clicking Add Product Fee and inputting the following:
- Name of the fee
- Add a description or explanation of the fee
- Choose whether to Apply sales tax to this fee
- Choose if you would like to Include in Price. This increases the total product cost by the fee amount rather than showing the fee as a separate line item during checkout. The fee will be broken out in your Sales Report.
- Choose whether the fee is discountable or not.
- Click SAVE
Below the list of Product Fees on the Commerce Settings page you'll also find a checkbox which allows you to Consolidate Fees into a single line-item in the shopping cart. Once checked, you'll have Name and Description fields which you can modify if you wish.
Non-SaffireTix Delivery Methods
This allows you to create multiple fulfillment methods for various price ranges of non-ticketed products.
- Name your Delivery Method Examples include, Ground, 5-7 Business Days, Overnight, etc.
- Description is also required. This is a good place to explain your delivery and shipping options. For instance, Orders will be processed and shipped within 3 business days. Ground shipping usually delivers within 5 business days of the shipment date.
Click SAVE to review Advanced Options and to add Delivery Ranges and Pricing
- Begin by adding a LOW PRICE - 0.00 ($0) is what you should begin with.
- Add the HIGH PRICE - highest priced item you are able to ship with this shipping method.
- Add the DELIVERY PRICE for that price range. You can create multiple price ranges and set the cost of the Delivery Price for each range (shown above).
- Click SAVE
SaffireTix Delivery Methods
Few scenarios would require a delivery method for SaffireTix (e.g. Print at Home or Will Call). These function exactly the same as shown above, but apply strictly to SaffireTix products.
Delivery Cart Add-ons
The checkout process is made up of 3 pages: Checkout, Review, and Confirmation. With each section of the Delivery Cart Add-Ons, we allow you to customize the following on each checkout page: Header, Footer, Pixels Head tag, and Pixels Body tag.
- These fields allow you to add custom content such as text, HTML, or tracking pixels. More importantly, you can provide your customers with instruction, help, or incentives through the checkout process. This is often used for placing banner ads above the shopping cart.
- The Review page offers an additional feature of enabling a checkbox that requires your customers to "agree to terms & conditions" specified in your Privacy, Terms & Cookies. If utilizing this option, be sure that your refund/return/cancellation policy is clearly listed under Tools > Header Banner > Privacy, Terms & Cookies
- You also have the option of editing the header and/or footer of the Mobile Receipt.
