Before you begin

• All sites must have the system setting TicketNumberingMethod set to NONE.
• Sites that will make sales for each other must have the same values for the system settings PriceModeConcessions, PriceModeTickets, and PriceModeMiscTransactions.
• Sites that will make sales for each other must have the same Time Zone configured.
• Sites that will make sales for each other must have identical Payment Types.
• Sites that will process Loyalty transactions for each other must have have the same value for the system setting LoyaltyUsesHOCodes.
