In SecuTix SECUTIX a Season Ticket is as "Composed product".
It is defined as a contract between the organization an its customers, which offers seats for a purchase at reduced rates in return for a commitment to attend a certain number of events (all, or a subset).

NB: once chosen, the price type cannot be modified
♦ Calculated price
♦ Predefined/Fixed-The customer can buy a seat of tickets within a single season: customerneeds to choice their tickets at the time of ordering the season ticket defines the conditions on the number of the tickets (globally or per topic).
The subscriber gets reduced prices compared to event tickets bought separately: the overall price of the season ticket is directly defined by the total number of tickets bought.
. The price is the sum of the prices of the tickets, using a specific season ticket tariff.
♦ Predefined/Fixed-price
For a predefined amount, the purchaser has the right to choose at most N performances.
The customers pay upfront one overall price, which entitles them to a fixed number of seats that they can choose for themselves.
Subscribers can choose seats after purchasing the season ticket, without exceeding the permitted number of seats.

Thus, if you associate no payment methods in this screen, SecuTix SECUTIX will check for specific Payment Methods set at Product Family level. If none, it means that any Payment methods available on the point of sales will be usable for the product. The payment method you associate at product level must be available at least on the point of sales. Otherwise nothing will happen.
So if you want to have a payment method that is only available for your season tickets for example, you need to associate this payment method to your point of sales AND associate it at product family level.
That way this payment methods will only be available for your season tickets products on your point of sales.
