✅Step 1: Check out our quick start guide!

🏁Step 2: See our top tips and tools below to finish off your event!


Collect all data from attendees with checkout questions

Besides the buyer's full name, email, and mobile, you can customise your checkout form using checkout questions to capture everything you need from attendees, such as company name, dietary requirements, and accessibility requirements

💡 Tip: Asking a lot of information?

  • Toggle your checkout questions to not required to help reduce checkout friction and potentially losing sales

  • Set questions to be asked after checkout via the settings ⚙️ on each question

  • Buyers can use the manage order button on their confirmation email to update their details at a later date

  • Use our email campaign tool to prompt buyers to provide any missing information prior to the event date using the @EditOrderLink shortcut


Offer discounts, packages, and bundle deals

Entice your attendees with a flexible offering of deals that will help drive ticket sales.

Set up custom discount codes that can be shared with VIPs or promote automatic discounts for multi-ticket purchases

Use packaged tickets to create "bundle deals" of multiple sub-events into full conference passes, or group bookings for expos. Packaged tickets group together multiple tickets and ticket types into one easy option at checkout for buyers.


Give exclusive access to complimentary or discounted ticket types

Create multiple ticket types at different prices and hide them to remove them from public view. Unique access codes can reveal hidden tickets, giving your VIPs, guests, sponsors, etc. exclusive access to complimentary tickets or discounted tickets and experiences.


Easily generate complimentary tickets and bulk upload guests lists

Create complimentary tickets for guests, VIPs, and sponsors or account for offline sales by creating a manual order.

You can also bulk upload a CSV file of attendee details to generate hundreds of complimentary tickets.


Enable a waitlist to capture latecomers

Ensure your event stays sold out with a waitlist that can capture the details of anyone who missed out. Automatically or manually offer tickets as they become available due to cancellations or increasing your venue size.


Sell tickets on your own website

Embed your event onto a page with a few simple clicks and allow buyers to checkout without leaving your website using an embedded widget


Offer invoicing as a payment method

In addition to card payments, you can enable invoicing as a payment method at checkout for sponsors or large businesses making big purchases. Choose to offer invoicing for all buyers or restrict it via a unique link. Invoices can be tracked and managed all within Humanitix.


Check-in guests quickly on the day using the Humanitix for Hosts scanning app

Download the Humanitix for Hosts app onto any smartphone or tablet device for free, using the device's camera to quickly scan the QR code on digital tickets OR manually search for and check-in guests by their name. Leave the spreadsheets at home.
