Depending on the way you do business, you might want to control the behavior of certain functions within an event. You can set the default behavior of most of these options in Store Configuration\Look and Feel\Settings, but then override them as necessary on an event-by-event basis. Access an event's settings by opening the event in detail and choosing "Settings" down the left hand navigation menu:
Show Advance Price Discounts on Storefront
When this is checked, products appear on the storefront marked as discounted when the current date is before the date defined in the "Advanced Pricing Ends" field (in the Event Detail form, above). For example, in the screen shot below, the advanced pricing is displayed underneath the crossed out, standard pricing (note the red arrows are for informational purposes only; they do not appear on the actual storefront):
To set the default setting for this field, see Store Configuration\Look and Feel\Settings.
Allow Commission Override in Order
This setting is rarely used but allows you to control commissions at an event level due to third party suppliers. If you do not use splits/commissions, don't worry about this feature. Even if you use splits/commissions, you most likely won't use this feature.
Use Order Level Delivery Date and Timeframe
This setting is primarily used by specialty suppliers such as audio/visual companies who have a single delivery date/time for all products within an order. To set the default setting for this field, see Store Configuration\Look and Feel\Settings.
Use Order Level Pickup Date and Timeframe
This setting is primarily used by specialty suppliers such as audio/visual companies also have a strike or dismantle date and/or time frame. To set the default setting for this field, see Store Configuration\Look and Feel\Settings.
Allow Customer Checkout without Paying
This setting enables a "Pay Later" radio button on the storefront during the checkout process. It allows the customer to skip payment altogether. On the storefront, the customer will see the option at the payment stage:
If the user selects "Pay Later", the Payment Amount and Methods will disappear and the user can submit the order without entering payment information.
While this option is controllable at the event level, its default can be set at the store level. See Store Configuration\Look and Feel\Settings for details on how to set the default at the store level.
Even if you offer your customer the option to pay later, if there are products flagged as requiring a card on file, the user will be prompted to enter credit card details for the card to be held on file and connected to the order.
Bypass Card on File requirement during Checkout
There is a setting at the product level that determines whether a customer will be prompted to enter a credit card on file during the checkout process. The prompt is determined by whether the customer has ordered a product that is set to require a card on file. This event setting overrides that product level setting and allows the customer to checkout without requiring a card on file.
Enable Store2
This settings means customers will shop in the newer storefront experience. Links and password resets will direct the customer to the event there.
Enable Messages
Store 2.0 Only. When checked, this will allow the Messages feature to be active and available to customers. For more information, see Messages.
Enable Quick Pay
When checked, customers will be able to settle outstanding balances using Secure Quick Pay.
Allow Public Access to Event Basics
Store 2.0 Only. When checked, customers will be able to access Quick Facts, Key Contacts and any custom Event Content you have made available for anonymous access. Customers can also peruse products, but will not be able to see any pricing.
Show Bill of Lading
At the event level, this defaults to whatever is set at the Store Configuration level. If it gets unchecked within the event, no reference to the Bill of Lading will appear on the Storefront for your customer or in Admin.
Offer Delivery back to Warehouse
At the event level, this defaults to whatever is set at the Store Configuration level. If it gets unchecked within the event, Step 4 of the Bill of Lading changes to have a single radio button labeled "Rerouted via Contractor's Choice" instead of offering the option of having the shipment delivered back to the warehouse at Exhibitor's expense.
