From Version 3.10.17 onward you can set up Group Pricing on a Single or Template event product that adds a specified amount and type of participants to an order for a set price e.g. you could use this to set up a "Family Ticket" where you have two Adults and two Juniors you get a discounted price.
Before you can set this up you'll need to have the various Pricing Points set up that go into creating your Group price, e.g. a price for Adult and for Junior.
Please take the following steps from your Admin menu to set this up:
- Click Settings > Products > the relevant Product > Group Prices
- Click Add Group Price, you'll first need to add a point for each of the single participant costs
- Enter a Name to match and Click Save
- Click Options then +Add Group Price Option
- Enter the Quantity of 1 then select the PricingSchemeKeyValue of the option you want to set
- Click Save and close, then Save and close again
- Navigate back to Group Prices and you'll be able to see the option for one ticket set up.
- Complete this step again for all Pricing points that relate to this product e.g. a single price for both Adult and Junior
Now we have an option set up for the individual tickets we can set up a Group Prices with those options inside
- Click Settings > Products > the relevant Product > Group Prices
- Click Add Group Price
- Enter a Name e.g. Family Ticket and Click Save
- Click Options then +Add Group Price Option
- Enter the Quantity then select the PricingSchemeKeyValue of the option you want to add e.g. Quantity 2 and Adult
- Click Save and close then Options again
- Repeat Steps 2 to 6 until you have added all your required options e.g. you may want to add 2 Junior tickets to this group price also.
This completed set up may look something like this:
Now we have this set up we need to set the Price of the group ticket option, please take the following steps from your Admin menu to set this up:
- Click Settings > Promotions > Promotions
- Click +Add Promotions
- Enter a relevant Name e.g. Family Ticket
- Tick Enabled and Removed Matched Items
- Click Save
- Click (Select type to create) from the Package Rules drop down
- Select Product Group Price and click +Add
- Select the Group ticket you'd like to set the price for e.g. Family Ticket
- Click Save and close
- Click (Select type to create) from the Package Actions drop down
- Select Overall Cost Discount and click +Add
- Leave Type as OverRidePriceTo
- Enter the Amount you'd like this group ticket to cost
- Click Save and close
This Promotion will now set the price of the Family Ticket we're using as an example and will show the new price on the front end of your website. When this pricing option is added to the basket it will add the relevant number of participants to the basket for the overridden cost we set e.g. this Family Ticket will add 4 participants at a set price, not the total cost of the tickets for 4 to attend.
Note: If you change the pricing scheme on your product, the prices on your options will be reset to the first price in the new pricing scheme. You will have to update the prices on your options as required.
