Hosting:  CORE hosts the online system for you - but all the sales money goes into your account in your bank. You don’t need to purchase any hardware or have any expertise in online selling.  All that’s needed is a “Click Here” button on your website, which takes the guest directly to CORE’s secure (https) online servers.  Your guests won’t know they’ve left your website, as we theme the secure site to match yours. We provide two sites to support your needs:

PCI Compliance:  CORE is compliant with PCI (Payment Card Industry) regulations and maintains compliancy as PCI regulations change.  This is very important to your business, particularly with the recent news stories of data and credit card breaches.

Fees to Match Your Needs:  Unlike most online systems, CORE offers two pricing models so you can pick  the best deal for your needs.  Our Standard pricing model does not charge a per-transaction fee, or a per-ticket fee, just a modest annual fee that allows you unlimited online sales through the portal and a one time setup fee. Or we can provide a per transaction price model that is reasonably priced for those needing a pay-as-you-go arrangement.

Integration with POS, Revenue Management, & Admission Systems:  CORE online system integrates seamlessly with CORE POS, Group Booking, Revenue Management, and Admissions.  CORE entry and exit control works with Boon-Edam, SkiData, and other electronic turnstiles.  CORE can also interface to third-party Revenue and Admission systems

Capacity-Controlled Ticketing & Reservations:  The CORE online system only reserves assets, events, and venues when they’re available.  No overbooking of events, party rooms, or double-booking of cabanas! For reservations of rooms and spaces, you set the available times and you set the capacities.  The CORE system handles the rest, only showing customers the available time and space slots.  For asset and ticket reservations, such as admissions, events, tubes, strollers, or wheelchairs, you set the quantity of each item that should be available each day (or time period) for purchase.

Promotions “Promo Codes”:  CORE makes it easy for you to offer special online deals to corporations, schools, charities, and other organizations - and gives you reporting to judge the effectiveness of each promotion.  All you need to do is inform the group of their special “promo code” (ex: Acme2010), and members of the group can enter their code on the web sales site to receive their special online deals.  You’ll have access to CORE Reports that show the effectiveness of your various promotions.

Contracts and “Must Reads”:   The CORE Online system provides for purchaser verification that the purchaser has read a specific linked document(s), by checking a box “I have read...”.    Park policies, operating hours, contracts, or any document you need your customer to read can be linked to the CORE Online system. 

Print-at-Home Flexibility:  CORE gives you the flexibility to specify what type of confirmation documents you’d like your customers to print at home.  In addition to a barcoded print-at-home one-page confirmation sheet, you can also opt to print actual admission tickets as a separate page.  Printing individual tickets allows your guests to skip the lines and proceed directly to the entry gate.  Printing of all documents is easy, and occurs directly from the final purchase screen, with no need to open email and print from an embedded link. No printer?  No worries!  If your customers aren’t able to print their documents, you can easily do so for them, at your facility, at any time. You can attach contracts, offers, and terms of service to your e-mails too.

Shipping, Handling, and Convenience Fees:  CORE gives you the option to add shipping and convenience fees to your online sales.The fees can be based per item, or per order.  You keep the fees and provide the service or CORE can fulfill your needs for shipping.

Opt-In / Opt-Out:   Purchasers can check (or uncheck) a box indicating that they wish to receive marketing information in the future, at their email address of record.   You have the option to present an-already checked “Opt-In” box, or and unchecked “Opt-In” box.   Either way, you’ll have important demographic information for marketing purposes.

IP Address: We log the originating IP address of every order. We can set limits or restrictions on the territory of the originating order and can set a limit on the number of orders that will be accepted from an IP address during a specific timeframe - typically a day.  This tracking and locking is engaged to prevent foreign, or domestic, fraudulent attempts at using stolen ID for purchases. Fortunately it is not worth much for a “fraud farm” to attack a site where only a couple of sales can be made per day.

Age Verification:  Every online sale requires the purchaser to verify age. We are well versed in the intricacies of the COPPA law that went in to effect April 21, 2000 and can help you craft a program that is compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

Address Verification:  We perform an AVS (address verification service) for each submitted credit card order. No Match?  -We reject the order!
