Day Pass subscriptions are low-cost, low-commitment digital subscriptions that grant users 1-Day premium access to Publications. If a user purchases a 'Day Pass' subscription today, they can access the premium content until midnight the next day. Currently, only the NCS circulation system supports Day Pass subscriptions.
The goal of this section is to explain how to configure a 'Day Pass' Subscription offer in the SolCon application.
Subscribe supports only digital-only day pass.
The validity of a Day Pass subscription is just 1 day. The subscription will expire by midnight of the following day of subscription purchase. This means, if the subscription was purchased on August 1st (regardless of the exact time), it will expire at 00:00 AM on August 3rd.
Day passes cannot be auto-renewed.
Day passes must be purchased in advance. Grace periods are not supported.
Day passes can have discounts, but the Rate type in NCS Circ should be set as 'Normal'. It should not be 'Reduced' or 'Promo rates'.
Business Rules must be configured in NCS to indicate whether the Single-Day Passes should be counted as one day or two in AAM reporting.
Single Day Pass subscriptions are counted as single-copy digital sales for AAM purposes by default. However, Day pass subscriptions have a 24-hour window and readers can typically access the website on two different days. Hence AAM also allows a Single Day Pass to be counted as two copies.
Day pass start is always a Campaign-code start, hence
'Day Pass' Campaign code should be configured in NCS Circ.
Campaign-code start feature should be turned ON. For more info:
