class pretix.base.models.Quota(*args, **kwargs)

A quota is a “pool of tickets”. It is there to limit the number of items of a certain type to be sold. For example, you could have a quota of 500 applied to all of your items (because you only have that much space in your venue), and also a quota of 100 applied to the VIP tickets for exclusivity. In this case, no more than 500 tickets will be sold in total and no more than 100 of them will be VIP tickets (but 450 normal and 50 VIP tickets will be fine).

As always, a quota can not only be tied to an item, but also to specific variations.

Please read the documentation section on quotas carefully before doing anything with quotas. This might confuse you otherwise. https://docs.pretix.eu/en/latest/development/concepts.html#quotas

The AVAILABILITY_* constants represent various states of a quota allowing its items/variations to be up for sale.

AVAILABILITY_OK

This item is available for sale.

AVAILABILITY_RESERVED

This item is currently not available for sale because all available items are in people’s shopping carts. It might become available again if those people do not proceed to the checkout.

AVAILABILITY_ORDERED

This item is currently not available for sale because all available items are ordered. It might become available again if those people do not pay.

AVAILABILITY_GONE

This item is completely sold out.

Parameters:
  • event (Event) – The event this belongs to

  • subevent (SubEvent) – The event series date this belongs to, if event series are enabled

  • name (str) – This quota’s name

  • size (int) – The number of items in this quota

  • items – The set of Item objects this quota applies to

  • variations – The set of ItemVariation objects this quota applies to

This model keeps a cache of the quota availability that is used in places where up-to-date data is not important. This cache might be out of date even though a more recent quota was calculated. This is intentional to keep database writes low. Currently, the cached values are written whenever the quota is being calculated throughout the system and the cache is at least 120 seconds old or if the new value is qualitatively “better” than the cached one (i.e. more free quota).

There’s also a cronjob that refreshes the cache of every quota if there is any log entry in the event that is newer than the quota’s cached time.

exception MultipleObjectsReturned
exception QuotaExceededException
availability(now_dt: datetime = None, count_waitinglist=True, _cache=None, allow_cache=False) Tuple[int, int]

This method is used to determine whether Items or ItemVariations belonging to this quota should currently be available for sale.

Parameters:
  • count_waitinglist – Whether or not take waiting list reservations into account. Defaults to True.

  • _cache – A dictionary mapping quota IDs to availabilities. If this quota is already contained in that dictionary, this value will be used. Otherwise, the dict will be populated accordingly.

  • allow_cache – Allow for values to be returned from the longer-term cache, see also the documentation of this model class. Only works if count_waitinglist is set to True.

Returns:

a tuple where the first entry is one of the Quota.AVAILABILITY_ constants and the second is the number of available tickets.

save(*args, **kwargs)

Save the current instance. Override this in a subclass if you want to control the saving process.

The ‘force_insert’ and ‘force_update’ parameters can be used to insist that the “save” must be an SQL insert or update (or equivalent for non-SQL backends), respectively. Normally, they should not be set.

Carts and Orders

class pretix.base.models.Order(*args, **kwargs)

An order is created when a user clicks ‘buy’ on his cart. It holds several OrderPositions and is connected to a user. It has an expiration date: If items run out of capacity, orders which are over their expiration date might be canceled.

Parameters:
  • code (str) – In addition to the ID, which is globally unique, every order has an order code, which is shorter and easier to memorize, but is only unique within a single conference.

  • status

    The status of this order. One of:

    • STATUS_PENDING

    • STATUS_PAID

    • STATUS_EXPIRED

    • STATUS_CANCELED

  • valid_if_pending (bool) – Treat this order like a paid order for most purposes (such as check-in), even if it is still unpaid.

  • event (Event) – The event this order belongs to

  • customer (Customer) – The customer this order belongs to

  • email (str) – The email of the person who ordered this

  • phone (str) – The phone number of the person who ordered this

  • testmode (bool) – Whether this is a test mode order

  • locale (str) – The locale of this order

  • secret (str) – A secret string that is required to modify the order

  • datetime (datetime) – The datetime of the order placement

Marks the payment as complete. If possible, this also marks the order as paid if no further payment is required

Parameters:
  • count_waitinglist (boolean) – Whether, when calculating quota, people on the waiting list should be taken into consideration (default: True).

  • force (boolean) – Whether this payment should be marked as paid even if no remaining quota is available (default: False).

create_external_refund(amount=None, execution_date=None, info='{}')

This should be called to create an OrderRefund object when a refund has triggered by an external source, e.g. when a credit card payment has been refunded by the credit card provider.

Parameters:
  • amount (Decimal) – Amount to refund. If not given, the full payment amount will be used.

  • execution_date (datetime) – Date of the refund. Defaults to the current time.

  • info (str) – Additional information, defaults to "{}".

Returns:

OrderRefund

fail(info=None, user=None, auth=None, log_data=None, send_mail=True)

Marks the order as failed and sets info to info, but only if the order is in created or pending state. This is equivalent to setting state to OrderPayment.PAYMENT_STATE_FAILED and logging a failure, but it adds strong database locking since we do not want to report a failure for an order that has just been marked as paid. :param send_mail: Whether an email should be sent to the user about this event (default: True).

class pretix.base.models.Transaction(*args, **kwargs)

Transactions are a data structure that is redundant on the first sight but makes it possible to create good financial reporting.

To understand this, think of “orders” as something like a contractual relationship between the organizer and the customer which requires to customer to pay some money and the organizer to provide a ticket.

The Order, OrderPosition, and OrderFee models combined give a representation of the current contractual status of this relationship, i.e. how much and what is owed. The OrderPayment and OrderRefund models indicate the “other side” of the relationship, i.e. how much of the financial obligation has been met so far.

However, while OrderPayment and OrderRefund objects are “final” and no longer change once they reached their final state, Order, OrderPosition and OrderFee are highly mutable and can change at any time, e.g. if the customer moves their booking to a different day or a discount is applied retroactively.

Therefore those models can be used to answer the question “how many tickets of type X have been sold for my event as of today?” but they cannot accurately answer the question “how many tickets of type X have been sold for my event as of last month?” because they lack this kind of historical information.

Transactions help here because they are “immutable copies” or “modification records” of call positions and fees at the time of their creation and change. They only record data that is usually relevant for financial reporting, such as amounts, prices, products and dates involved. They do not record data like attendee names etc.

Even before the introduction of the Transaction Model pretix did store historical data for auditability in the LogEntry model. However, it’s almost impossible to do efficient reporting on that data.

Transactions should never be generated manually but only through the order.create_transactions() method which should be called within the same database transaction.

The big downside of this approach is that you need to remember to update transaction records every time you change or create orders in new code paths. The mechanism introduced in pretix.base.models._transactions as well as the save() methods of Order, OrderPosition and OrderFee intends to help you notice if you missed it. The only thing this doesn’t catch is usage of OrderPosition.objects.bulk_create (and likewise for bulk_update and OrderFee).

Parameters:
  • id – ID of the transaction

  • order – Order the transaction belongs to

  • datetime – Date and time of the transaction

  • migrated – Whether this object was reconstructed because the order was created before transactions where introduced

  • positionid – Affected Position ID, in case this transaction represents a change in an order position

  • count – An amount, multiplicator for price etc. For order positions this can currently only be -1 or +1, for fees it can also be more in special cases

  • itemItem, in case this transaction represents a change in an order position

  • variationItemVariation, in case this transaction represents a change in an order position

  • subeventsubevent, in case this transaction represents a change in an order position

  • price – Price of the changed position

  • tax_rate – Tax rate of the changed position

  • tax_rule – Used tax rule

  • tax_value – Tax value in event currency

  • fee_type – Fee type code in case this transaction represents a change in an order fee

  • internal_type – Internal fee type in case this transaction represents a change in an order fee

class pretix.base.models.CartPosition(*args, **kwargs)

A cart position is similar to an order line, except that it is not yet part of a binding order but just placed by some user in his or her cart. It therefore normally has a much shorter expiration time than an ordered position, but still blocks an item in the quota pool as we do not want to throw out users while they’re clicking through the checkout process. This has all properties of AbstractPosition.

Parameters:
  • event (Event) – The event this belongs to

  • cart_id (str) – The user session that contains this cart position

exception DoesNotExist
exception MultipleObjectsReturned

Render this answer as a string.

Parameters:

use_cached – If True (default), choice and multiple choice questions will show their cached value, i.e. the value of the selected options at the time of saving and in the language the answer was saved in. If False, the values will instead be loaded from the database, yielding current and translated values of the options. However, additional database queries might be required.

class pretix.base.models.Checkin(*args, **kwargs)

A check-in object is created when a ticket is scanned with our scanning apps.

exception DoesNotExist
exception MultipleObjectsReturned

Invoicing

class pretix.base.models.Invoice(*args, **kwargs)

property number

Returns the invoice number in a human-readable string with the event slug prepended.

save(*args, **kwargs)

Save the current instance. Override this in a subclass if you want to control the saving process.

The ‘force_insert’ and ‘force_update’ parameters can be used to insist that the “save” must be an SQL insert or update (or equivalent for non-SQL backends), respectively. Normally, they should not be set.

Various constraints apply:

  • You need to either select a quota or an item

  • If you select an item that has variations but do not select a variation, you cannot set block_quota

exception DoesNotExist
exception MultipleObjectsReturned
applies_to(item: Item, variation: ItemVariation = None) bool

Returns whether this voucher applies to a given item (and optionally a variation).

calculate_price(original_price: Decimal, max_discount: Decimal = None) Decimal

Returns how the price given in original_price would be modified if this voucher is applied, i.e. replaced by a different price or reduced by a certain percentage. If the voucher does not modify the price, the original price will be returned.

clean()

Hook for doing any extra model-wide validation after clean() has been called on every field by self.clean_fields. Any ValidationError raised by this method will not be associated with a particular field; it will have a special-case association with the field defined by NON_FIELD_ERRORS.

distinct_orders()

Return the list of orders where this voucher has been used. Each order will appear at most once.

is_active()

Returns True if a voucher has not yet been redeemed, but is still within its validity (if valid_until is set).

is_in_cart() bool

Returns whether a cart position exists that uses this voucher.

is_ordered() bool

Returns whether an order position exists that uses this voucher.

save(*args, **kwargs)

Save the current instance. Override this in a subclass if you want to control the saving process.

The ‘force_insert’ and ‘force_update’ parameters can be used to insist that the “save” must be an SQL insert or update (or equivalent for non-SQL backends), respectively. Normally, they should not be set.
