WebSales

Discovery Flight/Tours

This feature allows you to sell items or flights (discovery, tours, etc) directly from your own website, or via custom direct links.

To start… create an Item. Manage > Items > +New Item. Once your item is created, edit it to see the Details and Web Setup tabs.

On the Details tab, you can can add a short and long description of the service as well as upload a picture. Your customers will see this information when they are purchasing the item.

On the Web Setup tab, you will configure your items rules. You will want to:

  1. Check the box to Enable for web sales
  2. Check the box to Schedule this item with an aircraft
  3. Add the Minimum and Maximum quantity
  4. Add in the Reserve minutes

If you want to create a credit in the user’s account to use at a future date (like when they come to fly) then check the box  Record charge as zero, to create a credit balance. When this is used, the payment will be applied like normal, but the Websale will write the charge at $0.

You can add Alternative Seating Options. This does not have to be added as an item first, but can be added by selecting +Add. Just create the name and add a price. The customer will see the option while adding passengers.

Add-ons 

If you want to sell additional items with your Websale then add them as an Add-on. first you will want to create the item by going to Manage > Items > +New Item. Once you have finished creating the item, edit it and tap on the Web Setup tab for your add-on item. Check the box Enable for web sales if you want to also sell it individually.

Add-ons should not use “Require seat” (unless it really needs a seat in the plane – like a photographer)

Add-on Items should use “Price is fixed total, not per seat” on or off to determine if the rate should be multiplied by the Item’s price.

For example…

* For single-use add-ons, like “Doors off flight” – you would set the add-on “Price is fixed total” to YES/checked.  This would charge only that item once.

* For add-on items that should be charged time the qty of the main web sales, like a Hat per passenger, you would NOT check “Price is fixed total, not per seat”. It will then take $20 * passenger count (2) = $40.

Available Aircraft > +Add. Add in the Min, Max passengers, and Max weight > Save. Then select where is says schedule (in blue) > +Add Rule.

Available Instructors > +Add.  By default, ALL will be used, if none specified. Before the flight is booked it will check your instructors availability so there are no scheduling conflicts. 

Once you’ve configured all your settings you can copy and paste your Direct Link into your website or post on your social media platform for instant sales.

The Direct Link will take your users to a page to purchase. If an aircraft is tied to your WebSale Item the customer will be able to fully select and schedule.  It creates the user, collects and posts the payment, and notifies them and you via email.  

Checking in Discovery Flights: 

Do you want to charge a flat fee for Discovery Flights? First, make sure you have a $0 rate for aircraft and instructors. Second, Make sure your item is created.

When you go to check-in the flight add the flight time and the $0 rate. On the second page, add your Discovery Flight item. Make sure to also add the $0 rate for the instructor. Their time will be accounted for.
