Retail Systems - Year-on-year Figures | Upcoming Retail Work YEAR-ON-YEAR FIGURES To aid month-month and year-year comparison, a Monthly Totals tab has been added to Retail Systems. https://www.hops.org.uk/retail_systems.php?t=126 PS. Year-on-year revenue for individual events can be found in Ticket System > Bookings > Event Bookings > Event Revenue. https://www.hops.org.uk/ticket_sales.php?t=12 -- OVERVIEWS The 'Overviews' for Retail, Tickets and Shop have been re-written to hopefully make them more resource-efficient for 2026. All Retail: https://www.hops.org.uk/retail_systems.php Shop: https://www.hops.org.uk/shop_system.php Tickets: https://www.hops.org.uk/ticket_sales.php Please let us know how you find them, and at what point in the year they start to get overwhelmed! -- UPCOMING WORK To give an idea of developments coming up: * Some heavy work will take place over the next several week to facilitate management of gift aid on ticket purchases, including 'normal' and 'donation' prices, issuing and redeeming 'donor benefits' (eg money off in the cafe), management of 'come back for a year', and integration with HMRC API. * Discounts on orders (separate from discounts on products, eg "£5 off your order" rather than "£5 off a specific item".) * Multiple discount codes per discount. * Integration with Square card payment system. * Developments to product shop, eg search, related products, and other sales-lead features. Thank you to everyone for your engagement in the development of the retail system in 2025 - We look forward to working with you all in 2026!
