How to set up Vriendenloterij in Peppered

Step 1: Create Price Type in Ticketing System and Peppered

1. Create a new Price Type called “Vriendenloterij” in your ticketing system and add this Price Type to any Event eligible for the Vriendenloterij discount

2. In your Price types module in the Peppered Dashboard, select Import to import the new Price Type. It will be set to ‘conditional’ by default.
1. Open the Price Type and set the Max to 2

3. Optional: You can check the box Automatically select this price (for bundles). This will make sure that in the seatmap, this Price type is automatically selected for the first two seats.

4. Select Save.



 

Step 2: Create Visitor Tag

Go to Marketing > Visitor tags and create a new Visitor tag. This will temporarily be assigned to all Visitors that completed the Vriendenloterij VIP card validation.

1. Name the Visitor tag “Vriendenloterij”

2. The Source should be “website”

 

Step 3: Set up Privileges

1. Go to Marketing > Privileges and create a new Privilege. This Privilege will make sure every Visitor with the Visitor tag “Vriendenloterij” will be able to see the “Vriendenloterij” Price type during the order process.

Step 4: Create a page where the Vriendenloterij validation form will be available

1. Go to Stories > Pages and create a new Page.

2. Build the Page like any other:
1. Add a Title in the Hero part
2. Add the Validate membership part.
3. Optional: Hide the Page from search results using the Advanced Visibility setting and set Allow Indexing to No.



🚧
Take note! If you can not find the Validate membership Page part, please create a ticket in our service portal.
 

3. The Validate membership part is a form that will handle the VIP card validation through the Vriendenloterij API. Open the part and select the Visitor tag “Vriendenloterij” from the drop-down. This will make sure the correct Visitor tag will become active for the Visitor after a succesful validation.

4. Save the Page part.



 

Step 5: Add Vriendenloterij validation Page to My Account Menu

In order for the set-up to work, a Visitor needs to be logged in before starting the purchase. The most effective way to do this, is to add the page with the validation form to the personal “My account” menu. This works by adding a new menu item in the “visitor” menu section in your “menu” module in the dashboard and link that to the page with the validation form.

This will make sure the page is accessible in the “My account” pop-up and start page:

 

1. Check if the “vriendenloterij” API entry is already created for you in your “API connections” CMS module. If it’s there, you are all set.



If it’s not there, just send us a support ticket so we can add the API connection for you.

2. Test! The page should display the form and validate the VIP card. After successfull validation, the visitor tag should be visible in the “Special access” menu on the next page refresh. The Vriendenloterij price type should also be visible during the order process.
