Add logic for the jackpot element for lottery raffles, Release Date: August 15th, 2024

The team has improved the logic when an organization hides the cash prize on the Experience Page for prize specific raffles.

Previously, if you enabled a 50/50 raffle while the jackpot element is showing and hide the cash prize, the "Enter now" button scrolls to the prizes section (see screen recording).  There was no option to enter since the prize is hidden.  

For prize specific raffles, if the cash raffle prize is hidden from the Experience Page then there was no way for supporters to enter to win the 50/50 raffle. The application now hides the "Enter now" button on the jackpot element in this case.

See example screen recording here!

Add New Buy-It-Now Setting and Logic, Release Date: August 22nd, 2024

The application now has two additional settings for the Buy It Now logic: (1) a new setting on the Experience-level that lets organizers choose if donors can place bids higher than the buy-it-now price, and (2) a partner-level setting that sets the default of the Experience-level setting.

Organizers can also set the buy-it-now price equal to the starting bid.  Users will not see this modal and should be able to save the item as-is. In the case where this setting is disabled (i.e., users cannot bid higher than the BIN price) AND a user has set the buy-it-now price equal to the starting bid, then when the Experience is published (or the item is saved), the application now only shows the Buy-it-now button and hides the "Place bid" button immediately.  See example here.

The application does not allow organizations to set the starting bid higher than the buy-it-now price. So this modal should reflect the new logic and say: "The Buy It Now price must be equal to or greater than the Starting bid (Starting bid amount goes here)."

Based on new logic added previously, the count of bids element and remaining bids element whenever the place bid button are hidden.

See the new feature in action per the various scenarios below:

English auction (Enabled logic): https://share.zight.com/yAuexOkb / https://share.zight.com/kpuvEgWB
English auction (Disabled logic): https://share.zight.com/xQuJerOz
Proxy auction (Enabled logic):  https://share.zight.com/GGuexY5l
Proxy auction (Disabled logic): https://share.zight.com/RBuR1Grm

Please refer to the instructions below to enable in the Experience Setup:

1. New setting in "Options" > "Checkout options" 
   1. This toggle activates the new logic: See screenshot. 
   2. Enabled logic
      1. This setting when enabled, allows organizations to bid over the buy-it-now price. In this case, donors will no longer be stopped when trying to bid over the buy-it-now price and will be allowed to bid without interruption.  They will not receive this previous warning message when trying to bid over the buy-it-now price.
         1. In this case, the buy-it-now modal will only show if the bid the donor is trying to place is equal to the buy-it-now price. Other than that, this modal will never show. 
      2. When enabled, if the current bid is greater than the buy-it-now price then we the application hides the buy-it-now price. 
   3. Disabled logic
      1. See example campaign: See screenshot
      2. When the setting is disabled and the current bid is equal to or greater than the buy-it-now price, then we should hide the place bid button and only show the buy-it-now button. 
      3. Existing bids will still hold their place as winners until the Auction items have been bought via Buy-it-now in accordance with existing logic. 
      4. Any other time, both the place bid button and the buy-it-now buttons will show in accordance with existing logic. 
2. New partner-level setting to set default for new setting
   1. There is a partner-level setting that allows partners to specify if the Experience-level setting added in the last point (see screenshot) should be enabled or disabled by default. 
      1. When this option is enabled in partner setup, the Experience Setup setting will be turned ON by default for all created Experiences. 
      2. When this option is disabled in partner setup, the Experience setup setting will be turned OFF by default for all created Experiences. 
   2. By default, this setting is disabled/turned OFF.
