Add-ons
Add-ons allow you to offer optional extras alongside your main event tickets, such as course materials, meals, accommodation, or additional workshops.
What are Add-ons?
Add-ons are optional items that attendees can purchase when booking an event. Each add-on has its own price, availability, and settings independent of the main event tickets.
Common examples:
- Course materials or textbooks
- Lunch or refreshments
- Accommodation packages
- Additional workshop sessions
- Parking passes
- Equipment rental
Creating Add-ons
To create an add-on for your event:
- Open your event
- Go to Tickets & Add-ons
- Click Add New Add-on
- Configure the add-on settings
Required Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Clear description of the add-on |
| Price | Cost of the add-on (can be £0 for free items) |
| Availability | Number of add-ons available |
Optional Settings
- Description – Additional details about the add-on
- Maximum per Booking – Limit how many each attendee can purchase
- Available From/Until – Set availability dates
- Visible – Show or hide the add-on
Managing Add-on Availability
Add-ons have their own inventory separate from event tickets:
- Total Available – Total number of add-ons you can sell
- Sold – How many have been purchased
- Remaining – How many are still available
When add-ons sell out, they're automatically hidden from the booking form.
Pricing Add-ons
Add-ons can be:
- Paid – Set a specific price
- Free – Set price to £0
- Variable – Create multiple add-ons with different price points
Viewing Add-on Purchases
To see who has purchased add-ons:
- Open your event session
- Go to Bookings
- View add-ons in the booking details
- Export booking data to see all add-on purchases
Best Practices
- Clear Names – Use descriptive names so attendees know exactly what they're purchasing
- Set Limits – Use "Maximum per Booking" to prevent over-ordering
- Manage Stock – Keep availability updated to avoid overselling
- Price Appropriately – Consider bundling add-ons into ticket prices for simplicity
- Test First – Create a test booking to verify add-ons work correctly
Troubleshooting
Add-ons not appearing on booking form?
- Check add-on is set to Visible
- Verify availability hasn't run out
- Ensure add-on dates are current
