IMPORTANT: Enabling this feature does require an annual feature subscription fee. Talk to your Aspenware representative about adding this feature to your Aspenware Commerce subscription.
This guide will review how to set up Ikon Pass Friends & Family in Aspenware Commerce. For more information on general product setup (including discounts and hidden categories) see Configuring Products in the Aspenware Commerce Documentation or for general release notes, see 2.21 Release Notes.
Overview
The Ikon Pass Friends & Family plugin allows those with whom pass holders share their Friends & Family tickets to redeem their discounted tickets via the online store of the resort where the tickets will be used. Those resorts that have purchased the annual subscription for the IKON Pass discount integration and who have installed it in their Aspenware Commerce platform following the directions below will be able to display the Ikon Friends & Family component on the discounted ticket Product Detail Page (PDP).
Guests will use this component to log into their Ikon Pass account and be immediately returned to the resort store PDP where any relevant discount entitlements for that guest will display on the right side of the component. Guests will then be able to add these 20% discounted tickets to their cart according to the number of entitlements they have. Adding to cart decrements available entitlements visually and prevents guests from adding more entitlements than are available. Once a purchase is complete, entitlements are updated/deducted in the Alterra database.
The “log out” button will log the guest out of their Ikon pass account within Aspenware Commerce and any other tab that is open on the browser. This allows guests to log into a different account if needed. Finally, for families with linked accounts (referred to as “participants” in Ikon), the head account holder will be able to see and use an aggregate of all Friends & Family tickets in the household.

Key Terms
Resort Abbreviation
Each resort that has some passholder relationship with IKON Pass has an abbreviation. This two-letter abbreviation will be used by Alterra to retrieve the relevant entitlements for the logged-in guest.
Dev Mode
Dev mode allows test users in Aspenware Commerce test stores to see guest entitlement with more detail. This is not meant to be used in a production environment and should be unchecked when in production.

Detailed Setup Guide
Work with your Aspenware Representative to install the IKON Friends & Family Plugin.
IMPORTANT: Enabling this feature does require an annual feature subscription fee. Talk to your Aspenware representative about adding this feature to your Aspenware Commerce subscription.
Go to Aspenware Commerce > Configuration > Local Plugins
Locate “IKON Friends & Family” under the Aspenware Group and select Install.
Once installed Enable the plugin by selecting Edit next to the listed plugin and ensure the Is enabled checkbox is selected.
Now that the plugin is ready to be configured, ensure that you have the product set up that will be used for the Ikon Friends & Family component. To do this:
Set up the product as you would normally. (See Configuring Products for basic product setup.)
Note the product ID in the URL on the product configuration page.
Copy the product ID and add it to the Product ID field in Aspenware Commerce > Configuration > Local Plugins > IKON Friends & Family
Go back to the plugin (Aspenware Commerce > Configuration > Local Plugins > IKON Friends & Family) and select Configure.
Under the General tab enter the two-letter abbreviation for your resort (if you do not know this abbreviation contact your Ikon pass representative).
(note to documents and service: currently this image is hard-coded, and may be removed for the deploy - regardless, no matter what is put there nothing changes)
Select Save.
Go to the Language tab (second tab)..
Enter the language you would like to appear in the bottom “toast” message when the responses noted above each text box are returned. See the example below.

Testing Notes
In order to be able to login to the Ikon UAT test environment, you MUST open a new tab in your browser and navigate to this URL. You do not need to do anything once you reach this page. If you do not do this step then nothing will work when testing in a non-production environment.
You also may need to work with Alterra to get test accounts configured for your resort’s implementation.
