Setting up ticket delivery

Ticketmatic supports automatic online delivery of tickets where tickets are delivered by e-mail or as mobile tickets. In addition, Ticketmatic also supports manual delivery workflows like delivery by physical mail.

You configure the delivery options available by setting up delivery scenarios. A delivery scenario defines how an order will be delivered. For each sales channel you can configure which delivery scenarios are available. Some examples of delivery scenarios are: Print at home, Send by mail, Retrieve at desk.

Delivery scenarios are managed in the Settings app. Click the button below to go to the Delivery scenarios module:

Set up a delivery scenario

2. Fill in a name for the delivery scenario and an optional description. The description is visible for buyers and allows them to select the most appropriate delivery scenario

   • If you select Manual, the delivery status will not update automatically.
   • If you select Payment, the delivery status will update automatically once the order is completely paid.
   • If you select Confirmation, the delivery status will update once the order is confirmed, even when the payment is not completed yet.

4. If you chose Payment or Confirmation as delivery scenario trigger, you can select the desired Delivery status after trigger:

   • Only include delivery information in the e-mail template selected in step 4. For example “Your tickets will be delivered by regular mail.”
   • Set the Allow e-tickets field to No
