Sales channels
In Ticketmatic, each order is created in the context of a sales channel. A sales channel is an important concept because a lot of configuration can be set up depending on the sales channel:
- the sale status and sale start and end dates for an event can be configured per sales channel
- the available prices and ticket fees can be configured per sales channel
- order fees can be activated per sales channel
- delivery scenarios, payment scenarios and payment methods can be activated per sales channel
- ticket layouts can be configured per sales channel
- e-mail communication to customers can be configured per sales channel
There are 3 types of sales channels: Desk, Web and External.
- There is always exactly 1 sales channel of type Desk, you don't need to create it. All orders created in the Orders application are linked to sales channel Desk.
- Orders through websites are linked to a sales channel of type Web. You can create multiple sales channels of type Web
- Finally, orders sold by partners through the external sales application are linked to a sales channel of type External. See more under Tutorials > Events.
