Selling subscriptions on a website

There's some specific setup required in Connect and Head Office or Cinema Manager to allow Subscriptions to be sold on a website. This includes Vista's Subscriptions portal.

Before you begin

• Ensure subscription components, such as recognitions, concession items, and cinema groups, have been set up in Loyalty.
• Ensure you've configured Connect to process Subscriptions.

Add a client API token to Connect Manager

1. In Connect Manager, go to Connect > Client API tokens.
2. Create a Client API token for your Subscriptions website, or client.
3. For the token’s Global Authentication User ID, insert the Global Authentication Service user code you received when you purchased your Subscriptions licence. If you don’t have one, contact your account manager.

Create a workstation

1. Run Vista Web Loader.
   This creates a new workstation.
2. Open the Head Office or Cinema Manager installation of the site that’s set up as your gift store in Connect.
3. If you haven't already, create a concession profile that contains the items your subscriptions are linked to.
4. Link that concession profile to the workstation Web Loader created.

Allow communication between Connect and your subscriptions website

1. In Connect, configure the system setting CorsAccessControlAllowOrigin to allow communication between Connect and your subscriptions website.
