How to Prevent the Season Ticket Holder Discount from Stacking with Promotional Discounts

How to Prevent the Season Ticket Holder Discount from Stacking with Promotional Discounts

Overview

When running a promotion (e.g., 25% off selected items), you may want to prevent the 5% Season Ticket Holder discount from applying on top of the promotional discount.

Online, the system can be configured so that promotional items are excluded from the Season Ticket Holder discount. However, please note that promotions and discounts will always stack on the tills.


Online Ordering Configuration

You can control whether promotional items also receive the Season Ticket Holder discount within system settings.

Option 1: Exclude Promotional Items from the Season Discount (Recommended)

This option ensures that any product included in a promotion will not also receive the Season Ticket Holder discount online.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to:
    File Maintenance > System Configuration > Customer Ordering

  2. Locate the Season Discount configuration settings.

  3. Review the current setup:

    • If set to All Products

    • And Include Items with Promotion Discount is ticked

  4. Untick Include Items with Promotion Discount

Result

Any product included in a promotion will automatically be excluded from receiving the Season Ticket Holder discount online.


Option 2: Apply Season Discount to Selected Products Only

Alternatively, you can restrict the Season Ticket Holder discount to specific products.

Steps:

  1. In:
    File Maintenance > System Configuration > Customer Ordering

  2. Change the Season Discount setting from:

    • All Products
      to:

    • Selected Products

  3. For each product that should receive the Season Discount:

    • Navigate to Stock Amendment

    • Tick the relevant option to enable the Season Discount

Managing Promotions

If one of these selected products is included in a promotion:

  • Go to Stock Amendment

  • Untick the Season Discount option for the duration of the promotion

  • Re-enable it once the promotion has ended

Please note that this method requires manual management when running promotions.


Important: Till Transactions

Promotions and Season Ticket Holder discounts will always stack on the tills.

There is currently no configuration available to prevent this behaviour at the till.


Recommendation

If you are running online promotions and want to prevent additional Season Ticket Holder discounts from applying, unticking "Include Items with Promotion Discount" is the most efficient solution.
