Ticketing is registration mode `ticketed`. Checkout is a public cart: tickets → attendee details → buyer → payment.

## Ticket types

Each ticket type has:

- Name, description
- Price, or **free** (`is_free` forces price to `0`)
- Currency from the registration app (default SGD for gateway validation)
- Optional **capacity**
- Sales window
- Min per order
- Visibility
- Whether to **show** or **hide** when sold out (`display_out_of_stock`)

A ticket is for sale when it is visible, inside its sales window, and either unlimited or has enough remaining quantity for the minimum order.

Access codes can be attached so a type is only redeemable with a code. Used-up codes stop working.

## Promo codes

**Promo codes** (`order_promos`) discount an order. They can be limited to specific ticket types. Invalid or exhausted codes are rejected on the public cart.

## Orders

An order starts as a **cart**. Completed/paid orders create tickets and attendees. The organizer list hides carts when deciding whether you can leave ticketing mode.

Paid orders send a receipt from the event’s sender address, not a generic Micepad address.

## Waitlist

When a type is sold out, people can join the **waitlist**. Organizers invite waitlisted buyers; invitations are tracked separately from the entry itself.

## Check-in only vs ticketing

If you only need door list + badges, use **check-in only** and import the list. Ticketing is for paid or allocated inventory with an order form.
