smartware supports 11 different price categories. Each category represents a unique type of item/service for which an organization will receive money. Additionally, each category has a distinct behavior associated with it. The catagories are listed to the right.
You may define an unlimited number of Price Types within each price category. Tax rules are set at the Price Type level. As an example: you produce not only your events each year but you also serve as a rental hall. Tickets to performing arts events are taxable in your area. You can set up My Single Tickets as a Price Type under the TKTSET category and assign the appropriate tax rate. You could then define Rental Tickets as a Price Type in the same category and not charge any tax at all.
