ShowBiz allows you to specify promotional codes for TICKETS sales. In order to use promotional codes, you need to do the following:
1.) From the ShowBiz main screen, go to the web modules manager by clicking the "Web Mods" button.
2.) On the left of the screen should be a list of various categories, one of which should be "Promotional Codes".
3.) If You cannot see Promotional Codes it is probably because it hasn't been activated for your Show. Please contact ShowBiz support to get this activated.
4.) Click on the promotional codes category to open the promo codes manager.
5.) Click "Add" to create a promotional code. The Promo code details window will appear.
6.) Fill in all of the details for the promo code. These are:
