Payment Value Vouchers

Payment value vouchers are codes in RTP|One that have a dollar value assigned to them. In Aspenware Commerce they behave as an alternate form of payment (like a gift card or stored value) that deducts the voucher’s dollar value from the order total when entered in checkout. (This voucher type does not require the Aspenware Commerce Voucher plugin to be installed).

Excerpt

Payment Value Vouchers

Payment value vouchers are codes in RTP|One that have a dollar value assigned to them. In Aspenware Commerce they behave as an alternate form of payment (like a gift card or stored value) that decrements when applied to an order total.

Fenced Products

A fenced product is a product that is only available to certain eligible shoppers. Voucher products are “fenced” through a special link that is accessed through a voucher. It is hidden from the general public and only accessible to guests who have an active voucher ID.

Product Voucher

In Aspenware Commerce a “Product Voucher” is used to direct a customer directly to a fenced product. Without a valid voucher, guests are unable to purchase the product even if they manage to navigate directly to that PDP. Note that Product Voucher templates IDs can onlybe set up to apply to a single product in Aspenware Commerce; however the product in Aspenware Commerce can be attributed to point to several RTP|One product headers.

SUGGGESTED:

A product voucher is used to give guests access to purchase a fenced product. Without a valid product voucher code, guests are unable to purchase the fenced product even if they manage to access it.

Discount Vouchers

Discount vouchers in RTP|One provide discounted pricing to standard products (not fenced) in Aspenware Commerce for guests with active voucher codes. Note that Discount Voucher templates can be setup to apply to a single or multiple products in AWC. And if the voucher is setup in RTP as a single-use voucher, and more than one Discount Voucher eligible product is added to the cart, then the discount will be _____removed altogether?____________.

Discount vouchers can apply to multiple products. An example of this would be “30% off an Adult or Child Lift Ticket.” If the discount voucher is limited to a single-use, the vouchers can only be used on one product, and if more than one eligible product is added to the cart, the discount will be removed altogether. These are similar to discount codes, but while discount codes use generic codes such as “SAVE30,” discount vouchers are an option for giving a “user-specific” discount. Consider whether it would better fit your needs to use a discount code instead of a discount voucher. Discount vouchers in RTP|One provide discounted pricing on standard products in Aspenware Commerce or RTP|One POS to guests with active voucher codes, that are otherwise full priced products. Discount voucher templates can be set up to apply to many products in Aspenware Commerce.

SUGGESTED:

Discount vouchers provide discounted pricing to standard products (not fenced) in Aspenware Commerce. Discount voucher templates can be set up to apply to a single or multiple products in Aspenware Commerce.

Product/Discount Vouchers

Product/Discount discount vouchers are a combination of Prodcut Vouchers and Discount Vouchers. If a guest has an active Product/Discount voucher, these vouchers provide provide access to fenced products and discount the total price of the product once added to cart. Note that Product/Discount voucher templates can onlybe set up to apply to a single product in Aspenware Commerce; however the product in Aspenware Commerce can be attributed to point to several RTP|One product headers.Product/discount vouchers in RTP|One provide special access to both fenced products and discounted pricing in Aspenware Commerce or RTP|One POS to guests with active voucher codes. These fenced products are otherwise not available for general sale and are also typically setup at a full price because the discount portion of the voucher will take the price down, showing the crossed out old price and new price. Product voucher templates can only be set up to apply to a single product in Aspenware Commerce; however the product in Aspenware Commerce can be attributed to point to several RTP|One product headers.

Redemption Flow - Payment Value Vouchers

Guests will redeem payment value vouchers on the checkout payment screen. The voucher code is entered into the voucher box and the order total will be subtracted from the available voucher balance. If the voucher value is greater than the order total, then the order total will be subtracted from the voucher amount and the order total will be $0. If the order total is greater than the voucher value then the entire amount of the voucher will be subtracted from the order and the guest will need to apply additional payment methods to complete their transaction. The voucher value will not be redeemed from RTP|One until the order is submitted successfully to RTP|One.

Info

NOTE: Only payment value vouchers are redeemed during checkout. Other voucher types defined in this documentation are redeemed in a separate flow defined in the next redemption section below.
