ACME Product Release Information

11.13 Release -  07/6/2021

Highlights 

  • ACME AC Camera Scanning

    ACME AC users can now use the built-in iOS camera instead of an external barcode scanner. This can help venues save time and money on hardware maintenance and greatly improves overall ticket scanning efficiency. 

  • Verify Membership by Email Messaging
    We have changed the language when an email address is submitted to make it less obvious who may or may not be a member for your venue. This provides better privacy for your members and your data.

Tips & Tricks

  • The deep-link generator in the ACME eCommerce Deep-linking Guide now includes more membership related links, including deep-links to the cart with a new membership purchase or gift membership purchase for a specified level. These are great to use for new acquisition drives or to reduce clicks when linking from your site to complete checkout in ACME.
  • Need to make sure transactions are always a whole dollar amount? Use the Discount Rounding Rule setting to make sure that discounted orders always come out to an even amount.
  • Did you know you can program an event ticket to never expire? Configure the Ticket Expiration value on the Event Template Pricing section to 0 which will translated to a "null" value. Alternatively, set it to expire in 1 day if you don't want the ticket to be valid after the event/purchase date.
