You must have purchased the Web Sales Module in order to use the Web Sales Listener.

The Web Sales Listener waits in the background while Theatre Manager is running, and allows patrons to connect to the database via the internet. For it to work, you will need to have Web Sales Enabled in Default Data, and have your web pages ready for patrons to connect.

To open the Web Sales Listener:

1. Go into the Accounting Menu, and into Web Sales Listener.
   
   
   
   
2. This will open the Listener.
   
   
   
   

   	The Listener will start when it is opened, if Auto Start is turned on in Default Data. If it was already open, but not running, you can click the Start Web Sales button to start the listener.
   	To stop web sales for a period of time, but to keep the listener open (to preserve your logs) click the Stop Web Sales button . Patrons will not be able to connect to the database.
   	The log will show you a history of what has been accessed today, and the time/date that it was accessed. If you wish to clear the log, you can click the Clear Log button
   	Will add a message describing the highest number of simultaneous connections seen in this session.
   	Allows you to ping the server to ensure that this workstation can access it.
   	Shows the length of time that this listener session has been running.
