โœ…Step 1: Check out our quick start guide!

๐Ÿ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

๐Ÿ’ก 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 โš™๏ธ 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


Create table and group bookings with packaged tickets

Using a packaged ticket you can bundle together multiple tickets or ticket types into a single ticket option for buyers on the event page. For example, a "Table of 10" which includes 10 x Single tickets.

Packaged tickets can also offer discounted pricing for these group deals while ensuring you don't oversell your event and collect details of each guest!

Automatically generate tax deductible receipts for donations

If you're accepting donations from buyers in addition to their ticket purchase, or, their ticker purchase is inclusive of a donation then you can reduce your admin and automatically include a tax deductible receipt on their payment invoice/receipt for tax time!

2. Map your ticket types to your seats

3. Choose whether attendees will pick their own seats or not

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.


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


Style your event page your way

Change your event page's primary colour, add your event banner image, and add your brand logo to make the page your own. You can also give life to your ticketing options by adding images for tickets, ticket groups, and donations!


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.
