Create a package

This article will outline how to create a package product by combining existing passes, add-ons and stock items. If you're after an overview and introduction to packages, see this article. 

Create a package

1. From Venue Manager, go to Products > Create product.
2. Select Packages.
3. Give the package a name.
4. Select the Package type:
   • A single package is a standalone singular product offering
   • Package variations allow you to have multiple package varieties with slight variations, e.g. one family combo includes 4 entry tickets and another package variation includes 5 plus an additional merchandise item
5. Add the details and configure the additional options for your package. Refer to these below. 
6. Select Save once the package has been created.  

Add the package details

The first step is to add the following information about the package:

• Short description
• Full description (optional)
• Image (recommended) 

Single package

• Search and add products in the package items - a tick will denote its selection, click Apply
• Adjust quantities and unit prices (optional) - allows you to discount items inside the package to provide benefits for the guest in selecting the package 
• If an additional item is added by mistake, it can be removed easily by clicking the delete button for that line item.

There can only be one session pass ticket type per variation.

Package variations

• Under package items, select Add variation
• Name your variation and add allocated package items. 
• A custom description and a specific image can be added to override the main package description and image.
• Hide from online sales can be used to restrict this package variation from being purchased online.
• Click Save.

To add more variations, repeat the steps until all variations have been created.

Sales period 

1. Set the sales period by clicking the Select dates button
2. A pop up window appears.
3. Click the Date range settings and select the calendar dates and days the package is available.

For example, a package is available Monday to Sunday. It includes a pass product available Monday to Friday and a T-shirt and soft drink that is available every day. It will not be available to sell on Saturday and Sunday unless the pass product is adjusted to be available on the weekend.

Deposit

Set whether the guest will pay the full amount of the package at checkout or set a percentage or dollar deposit amount. 

Reporting category

Select the reporting category this package applies to.

Advanced settings (optional)

• Configure add-ons or stock items to be sold alongside the package as an upsell
• Data capture - Select a form that you have created to request additional information
• View conditions - toggle this switch on if sales of the package can only occur through Venue Manager and POS
• Booking confirmation required - bookings require guest confirmation
• Show individual items on receipts - receipt will list out individual package products
• Redeam - if you are connected to Redeam, you can set whether this package is sold via Redeam

Save

Click Save once the package has been created.
