Appendix Modules - Convious Services

Convious Commerce 

Convious Commerce is the ticketing module within the Convious platform, which equips your organisation with all the essential ticketing features you need to sell your tickets and offers on your website successfully. With this module, you can build and manage your order flows, add your products, and choose the pricing strategy that best fits your business. Set up static pricing,  dynamic prices or rule-based pricing with pricing exceptions straight from your Control Panel. Manage your venue's opening times, inventory and ticket barcodes - you stay entirely in control of your venue's management.

Data collector
The Convious script contains a data collector that collects website visitor behavioral data. The collected data is stored anonymously and is the fuel for the Convious platform and is used to optimize the checkout performance.

Inline widget
The inline widget is a full-page checkout. The Inline widget can run next to your overlay widget or stand-alone. To install the inline widget an empty website page is needed.

Overlay widget
The overlay widget is your Checkout that will run on top of your homepage/website. It will unfold on the side of the screen when the user clicks on the trigger button at the corner of your page. 

Many ticket types (incl season pass)
Ticket types include dated tickets, undated/flexible tickets, ticket bundles, season- or member passes, single-visit and multi-visit tickets.

Payment
The payment takes place after the ticket selection and finalizes a purchase. Payments can be carried out via your chosen payment providers. Convious supports payments by most payment methods including local ones. Because of the high ticketing volume, Convious is able to offer competitive payment rates.

Order flows
One order flow defines a sequence of different steps in your Checkout an user goes through to purchase tickets.

Custom branding

Order management
In your Convious Control Panel, you can view and edit order details, issue refunds, resend emails, and cancel reservations; this is called order management.

Cancellations
Within your order management, you have the ability to issue a cancellation and, thus, invalidate orders. The ticket barcode will be invalided once the cancellation is issued.  

Refunds
In the Control Panel, an order can be refunded in full or partially. This means you can refund, for example, a single ticket of an order of 5 tickets. The ticket barcode is invalided once the refund is issued.

With Convious, you can use coupons to apply a discount on an entire order or cart and discount vouchers that apply a discount to selected products. The discount can be a percentage or a fixed amount.

Donations and gift aids
It’s possible to offer donations or gift aids articles as part of your Checkout flow (upsell articles) or as a stand alone order flow.

Static Pricing

Rule-based pricing
This is the option to work with variable pricing that is constrained by your rules and exceptions.

With Real-time pricing it’s possible to add pricing boundaries as well (minimum, average, maximum sales price).

Date change

Scan APP

Visitors
The people who visit your Checkout or website.

Cart abandoned email
This email is sent to the visitors of Convious Checkout who added a ticket(s) to their shopping cart but did not complete the purchase. For the Cart abandoned email, we have three versions you can enable to be sent to your customers. To comply with local direct-marketing regulations, you can decide to send this email to opt-in visitors only. 

Pre-event email
This service email is sent to your customers who acquired a dated ticket and is sent commonly 24 hours before their visit. This email acts as a welcoming and pleasant reminder of their upcoming visit and provides useful and practical information about your venue including: 

• Visit date reminder

• Link to download the tickets

• Your venue's opening times that day

• Your venue's address

• Directions on google maps (direct link)

• Upsell offers (if applicable)

• Other custom information: you can decide to include the parking information, link to your Frequently Asked Questions, or link to the list of available attractions

• Support email address

• Your social media links

• Unsubscribe link

Engage tools & Convious studio
The Convious Engage tools include the Checkout, the Trigger button, the (Exit Intent) Pop Up, and the WonderBar and can be edited via the Convious Studio. The Convious Studio acts, therefore, merely as the location and tool to edit.

Trigger button
The Trigger button appears in your website's corner with an engaging, customizable text and, once clicked on, unfolds the Checkout/overlay widget. The exact corner can be defined in the Convious Studio.

Pop Up
The Pop Up is a window pop up displayed to your online visitors when they attempt to navigate away from the website. It includes a customizable message to convince them not to leave but take the desired action instead. The Pop Up can be configured, including targeting settings, in the Convious Studio.

WonderBar
When enabled, the WonderBar will show at the very top of your page. It includes a short message with a call to action and a button that can guide your website visitors to a specific offer or page. The WonderBar can be configured in the Convious Studio.

APP push notifications
App push notifications give you the ability to send relevant messages to your customers when using the Tap app. If push notifications are enabled, it will allow you to send messages, which will be showing directly on the customer’s lock screen. Our push messaging solution makes it possible to directly send a message to your customers or to schedule messages (automatic messaging) on a certain day and time. Push notifications can be sent before, during or after the visit. Push notifications can be used for certain goals like service, upsell, news, promotions. Push notifications are supported with title, subtitle, and external web URLs which can be directly opened in the App. 

APP inbox
The APP inbox is the location where the user can view and review previous (push) notifications. This makes it possible for customers to see the messages also when push notifications are disabled. 

APP placements
With APP placements it’s possible to manage dynamic content in the Tap app. For example to inform users, activate users, or encourage upselling. Examples are: highlighting a special event, deep-link to upsells articles, adding Covid related information, opening hours, FAQ's or questionnaires. But you can also think of special offers exclusively for your Mobile App users by creating a website landing page that is only communicated in the App. Placements can be scheduled so it is shown in a certain period of time in the app. App placements support custom images, text, and external web URLs that are opened in the app.

APP MAP
The APP MAP is a park map from your venue in the Tap app. For the APP MAP, we’ve integrated Google Maps and we can implement a styled map (color scheme) or a custom map (park map image on top of Google maps). The App Map can be extended with custom POI’s and supported filtering in the app. Customers can filter on specific categories which you can create yourself like attractions, animals, restaurants, showtimes, toilets. To each category, you can link points of interest (POI’s). POI’s consist of the name, description, image. On request, we can also enable the navigation so users can navigate at the location. 

Post-event email
This fully customizable email is sent to your customers one day after their visit to your venue. The Post Event Email can for example be used for collecting feedback,  asking for reviews, or offering incentives and upsells for future visits. To comply with local direct-marketing regulations, you can decide to send this email to opt-in visitors only. 

Custom forms + email reminders
The Custom form or After Payment Form is a form that can be used to enrich the profile of your visitors with data like their address or phone number. The Custom Form is displayed after payment but before the visitor can download his tickets. When the Custom form is activated the visitor is obliged to fill in the form to get his purchased tickets or season card. When the form is ignored a reminder email will be sent out.  It’s possible to build your form per order flow and customize the form with the default and/or customized fields. It’s also possible to ask for a photograph which is usually needed for season or year passes. 

CRM
See the profile data and timeline of events that have been tracked per profile. This allows you to deep dive into the behavior of your target group

Audiences
Audiences are segments of users based on characteristics or behaviour that can be used for messaging purposes. You can use audiences in email, push messaging, inbox messages, exports, search, display and social advertising. Customers leaving the purchasing flow without finishing their transaction can for example be segmented as an audience.

Omnichannel Messaging Studio*
In the Omnichannel Messaging Studio, you can construct flows of messaging across different touchpoints. This allows you to reach your audience on the channel they prefer and you are able to offer a true omnichannel experience. You define when what should be sent out and via which channel fuelled by data.

Geo-fence based marketing*
This is a location-based marketing practice that triggers, for example, notifications when a mobile device enters a predefined geographic area.

Message bundle
The Message bundle indicated a fixed number of messages (emails) you can send. When the bundle limit has been reached it’s possible to purchase a new bundle.

Smart timeslot distribution
To distribute your visitors safely, the smart timeslot distribution takes into account your gate and venue capacity. It limits the number of people per time slot to ensure there is no guest overflow. Time slots are specified time windows throughout the day (e.g., 9 AM - 10 AM, 10 AM - 11 AM) you can define in your Convious Control Panel.

After Payment Form
Collecting your customers' information is now mandatory to provide them and your venue with the needed oversight to ensure everyone's safety while meeting necessary regulations. With Convious, this step is integrated via an After Payment Form within the same purchasing process in your checkout. The form is triggered after the purchase occurs just before the customer can access their tickets, maintaining a high conversion rate and smooth user-experience. Depending on your local regulations, you can ask for the name, phone number, address, town/city, postal code, country, and birthday.

App season pass in wallet (incl Photo)
