This product type is for Scheduled Activities. It is used to assign credits to your customer's account to get into an activity. Think of these as virtual tokens your customers need to participate in activities.
// NOTE: Using credit items is not required for Scheduled Activities, but it is recommended in order to keep track of the activities your customer's have purchased and participated in. It also helps to lock down your Point of Sale and Venue so your staff cannot add customers to an activity if they have not purchased the appropriate credits yet!
// Please setup your Credit Types first!
What are Credits used for?
- Credits are used to get your customers into their scheduled Heat/Activity.
- You set how many Credits will be required to get into each activity(heat), and then sell the customer the correlating Credit Item.
- Racing Example: If a race costs 1 Race Credit to get into, then you will sell the customer a Credit item with 1 Race Credit set on it.
- Trampoline Example: If you want to build your sessions in 30 minute increments, you could set each 30 minute time slot to 'cost' 1 Jump credit. Then, if you sell them in 1 hour, 1.5 hour, 2 hour increments you would set each product to give to 1 Jump credit per 30 minutes.
- 1 hour = 2 Jump Credits
- 1.5 hour = 3 Jump Credits
- 2 Hour = 4 Jump Credits
