Do we need to have to preset donation amount? Can we have donations where we can type in the amount the patron wants to donate at the time of the ticket sale? Sometimes they tell us “keep the change as a donation”, or “I’d like to add a $10 donation.”
You can certainly modulate a donation amount depending on a sale. Just add a donation sale item to the dropdown in the payment tab. Then during a sale you can select that sale item and enter in the dollar amount manually.

How can we set up Wintix to email tickets to patrons?
For people that purchase tickets online, you can set up tickets to be automatically attached to their receipt. In-house emailing can be done at the end of the sale in three quick steps that follow the same pattern as printing the tickets.
- In the Sale summary tab, check Print a receipt. Then complete the sale as normal.
- When the Receipt window pops up, click Email- email tickets and click Print the receipt.
- If the patron has an email in their information, it will automatically be in the Send to field. Just click send.

What is Value field in price categories for?
The short answer is that if you haven’t needed it before, you probably don’t need to worry about it now. The longer answer is that the value field breaks down a price over several different shows. It was originally created to account for the differences between shows in season tickets.

How does Remove duplicates work?
Wintix detects duplicates factors in name, street address, and zip code. When you remove duplicates (Under the Mailing list menu) you can see which duplicates will be removed.
