Free Version Settings
Free Version only has one setting to be made. You have to enter the number of tickets for the product. That can be done from product add/edit page like we show in screenshot below.
The number of tickets on the product is the number of tickets you want that particular product to generate on a single order. It is NOT the total number of tickets for a raffle. If you want that product to generate a single ticket – then enter 1.
