POS Tasks
...
Aspenware uses this value to make calls when we don’t know a user’s password and have to do something with their EZL account. A salt is added to the hashing process to force their uniqueness, increase their complexity without increasing user requirements, and to mitigate password related attacks.
These should be placed under the EzLinksSettings:
"EzLinksSaltValue": "4$p3N$4Lt",
POS Tasks
Create General Program Profiles in RTP for each golf member role. There should be a corresponding SponsorID in EZLinks for each golf member role (GPP) that is created in RTP. For example, if you have Membership A that only gives access to course A, Membership B that only gives access to course B, and Membership C that gives access to both courses A and B, then you would created three unique general program profiles for Member A, Member B, and Member C. Record the GPP ID(s) in the Golf Setup Data sheet (linked above) and send the completed sheet to Aspenware.
Create a GL account in RTP for golf transactions and share with Aspenware.
Aspenware Commerce Tasks
1. Set up “Golf” Category
Go to Catalog > Categories > Add New and set up a category titled “Tee Times.”
Set up this category according to the Category Configuration Guide, however, you must also toggle on the “Advanced” view and set the Category template to “Golf”.
...
When assigning Tee Time products to the Golf category, keep in mind that display order is respected. Updating the display order will affect how Tee Times are shown, even if they are unavailable for the selected date. In Commerce 3.6.1, unavailable Tee Times will still appear in their designated display order, rather than being automatically moved to the bottom of the list.
...
Note |
---|
WARNING: Golf configuration does not support subcategories. |
2. Create Golf Attributes
Go to Catalog > Attributes > Product attributes and create the following attributes:
Info |
---|
NOTE: Do not create any attribute values for these. |
Course Id
Entitlement Id
Fee Id
Fee Name
Fee Options
Reservation Date
Reservation Time
Reservation Holes
Reservation Price
Slot Nbr
Slot Name
Slot ID
Force Checkin
3. Enable store to route to Golf
If “Golf” is not already present go to Aspenware Commerce > Routing > Manage Lines of Business and add “Golf” while leaving Ski as the default.
...
Aspenware references EZLinks' 18 holes, 9 holes, and membership Sponsor IDs in order to retrieve the correct tee times and pricing for specific customers. Since rates can vary for “club members” and “public players”, Aspenware requires a “Default Sponsor ID” which should be mapped to the public player sponsorID for 18 holes and 9 holes if applicable. This ensures a guest without a special Role is priced at the public rate.
Go to Aspenware Commerce > Golf Configuration and enter the Sponsor IDs and click Map
...
Info |
---|
NOTE: If there is an issue adding the Sponsor IDs on this screen, these values can be added in Settings golfsettings.18holedefault and golfsettings.9holedefault |
...
Info |
---|
NOTE: First customer roles must be set up which can be done by following the guide here: |
First, go to Customers > Customer Roles and select Add New.
Name the customer role in accordance with the membership General Program Profile in RTP|One and the Membership SponsorID name in EZLinks.
Ensure Active is checked and DO NOT UPDATE ANY OTHER FIELDS.
Select Save and repeat this process for all roles.
Note |
---|
IMPORTANT: If you define a “purchased with product” on a customer role configuration in Aspenware Commerce it can break your site. Roles can be granted via purchased products in RTP|One but NOT using this feature. |
Next, go to Aspenware Commerce > Role Configuration and complete the following:
Roles: Select the role from the drop-down that was just created in the step above.
External Role ID: Input the General Program Profile ID from RTP|One in the External Role ID field.
Sales Channel ID: Input the EZLInks SponsorID from EZLinks in the Sales Channel ID field.
Membership Type ID: Input the EZLinks Membership Type ID in the Membership Type ID field.
Click Map and repeat this process for all roles.
