Season Ticket Confirmation Emails 

If you wish to personalise the confirmation email received by a customer after purchasing a season ticket, you can do so by creating a confirmation email in Admin >Preferences >  Tickets > New Confirmation Email Template  and then connecting it to your season via  Admin >Preferences  > Settings > Confirmation Email Template > Save.



Please note that if an order will contain both single event and season tickets, the confirmation email that will be received by the customer will be the season ticket confirmation email.
Language Tags 

##order-confirmation##

[cart_table] - shows a break out of the order - REQUIRED
[order_date] - shows the order date
[cart_id] - shows the order number
[ticket_button_url] - URL for link to tickets

To use the [ticket_button_url] you should wrap it in the <a></a> tags per the below example:

<a href='[ticket_button_url]' target='_blank'>View Your Tickets</a>

Step 2 | Apply Template

1. Navigate to Admin  > Preferences   > Settings
2. In the Confirmation Email Template dropdown >select your new  template > click Save Storefront Settings

Customization 

Given that Flowte allows you to combine multiple items in the same order, it is not practical to send multiple separate confirmation emails to customers for one order, so to avoid customer confusion, Flowte only allows one confirmation email template per order.

However the current confirmation emails do have some powerful “dynamic” customization options:

Firstly, you can have a different confirmation email for reservations. This can be defined in Admin > Settings > Reserved Email Template.
A reservation is when a customer has reserved tickets but not yet made payment. 

If you wish to allow your customers to make payment online for tickets which are reserved just include this link in the reserved email template
Click HERE to pay now
https://qa.flowte.me/storefront/reservation.php?id={transaction-number}

Secondly, the current email confirmation templates use “dynamic” tags and content. That content can be designed to be based on what the fan actually purchased. For example you might choose to say "hi <first name> thanks for ordering <product type> here are your order details and information about other <product type> items that may be of interest to you." 
Here is the guide on how to do so: https://help.flowte.com/portal/en/kb/articles/email-tags  
And here is the guide on how to design and apply confirmation email templates https://help.flowte.com/portal/en/kb/articles/custom-confirmation-email

Finally when someone receives their confirmation email, there is a link to their tickets which opens up their ticket template. This template can be changed at a very granular level (event/section/product type/product price band). In this way a customer who buys 1 adult ticket and 1 child ticket in the same order will both have a different ticket design. These designs can carry additional game day info or even targeted advertising to help increase spend per fan.

Ticket and Email Tags

When creating different types of templates, it is possible to add "tags" that when the template is used are replaced with the live data such as the name of the user or details about their purchase.  Below are the different tags depending on the usage.
