As many types as necessary can be defined to meet the operational needs of the organization. However, the best practice recommendation is to setup only the minimum number of buyer types necessary. Every order booked in the system is associated with a buyer type, which defines the rules and policies in effect for that particular customer for that particular interaction. A buyer type must be selected by an agent in AMS (Agent Manages Sales System) before an order can be started. Web buyer types are defined by the link used to start an online sale.

Sales Lines – Areas of the system that provide different mechanism for managing the items that can be sold. Each Sales Line has a unique set of capabilities and properties that can be used as needed to sell various items in the Agile Software. The name of a particular Sales Line is an internal designator and does not always dictate what items a particular sales line can manage. The available sales lines are:

• Event – Limited inventory items that are only valid at a specific date and time. Some examples include: Standard ticket, Registrations, camps, and classes.
• Catalog – Items that are not only valid for a specific date and time and can be inventory limited or unlimited. Some examples include: Concession management, merchandise sales, memberships without benefit processing, and any Non-Admission item  
• Membership – Items that are not inventory-limited but define a relationship period between the customer and the Organization with defined benefits that grant access to other items being sold in the system. This relationship has defined benefits that grant access to other items being sold in teh system, such as discounts and complimentary items. Some examples include: Memberships with benefit processing, Festival Passes, and Flex Season.

Template – A Template holds Tier/Inventory and Event Price information about different ticket types and prices. It connects this information to specific showings/screens/events of a given venue. Storing this information in Template enables users to send available ticket quantities and prices for multiple showings, events, and venues to the Show/Event folder. For events/shows that occur multiple times, like a weekly or matinee discount, Template is a useful, time-saving tool. A ‘special’ event that occurs only once does not require a template, in best practice.
