An offline sale refers to a transaction that you personally complete on behalf of a ticket purchaser. This may occur when someone wishes to make payment over the phone with a credit card, or pay in cash or through direct deposit. In such cases, you can proceed to process an offline sale. It's important to note that all offline sales without credit card usage do not involve any fees.
To learn how to process an offline sale, you can either watch the brief video or follow the instructions below:
Steps:
1. Log in to Sticky Tickets.
2. Click on the event you wish to sell a ticket to.
3. Click the Record Offline Sales link.
4. Select the Payment Type. For American Express, Visa and Mastercard options, set if the booking fee will be included or excluded in the ticket price.
5. Choose the quantity of tickets you wish to reserve offline. NOTE: The price field is editable, enabling manual adjustments for discounted rates if required (the booking fee will be calculated based on the discounted amount). It's important to note that the maximum limit for offline orders is 50 tickets for each ticket type. After completing the details, click the "Reserve Tickets" button.
6. Input the required Purchaser Details and click on the "Continue" button. (Note: The questions presented in the Purchaser Details section are configured in the Event Questions tab). After completing this step, proceed by clicking the "Continue" button.

For Cash, Cheque, Direct Debit, No Charge, or other offline payment methods, you will be directed to the confirmation page.
8. Click the Confirm button. The next page will show the confirmation page where the Order Number will appear.
