Using Admin Credits For Free Entries

Admin credits offer you a mechanism for providing exhibitors credits towards their entries into the show. This is often used if you gave away free entries as part of a fundraiser or drawing. Or if you are offering a discount or free entries to the volunteers at your show.  Showman doesn't currently support coupon codes, but this is a great alternative to use instead.

**Have the exhibitors start their online entries for the show before you go in and add the admin credits to their account. They don't have to have their entries added into the system completely, just as long as they start the process so they show up in the Exhibitors list.

Adding Admin Credits

Step 1: Find the exhibitor

First find the correct account from the list of exhibitors in the Exhibitors section. Select the View Invoice option from the menu dropdown next to exhibitor.

Step 2: View Invoice

You will now see the exhibitor invoice. Select the green "Record Payment" button to add in the admin credits.

Step 3: Record Payment

In the form that opens up you can choose to record how much of a credit you would like to add to their account in the How much credit to add? box. 

By default the amount will show the total the exhibitor owes, you can modify the amount if you want to apply a lesser credit amount to their account. 

In the Payment Type box, be sure to select the "Admin Credit" option to accurately reflect in the financial records that this was a credit and not a cash or check payment.

After clicking Save the credit will be applied to the exhibitor's account.  When they go to checkout any credits that have been applied to their account will be subtracted from their total due.
