By adding Booth Tiers, you can sell booths as add ons and after purchasing, the booths will automatically be created and the buyer will be added as an exhibitor admin.
If you're in this journey of selling booths, we highly suggest you check out the article on Exhibitor Tiers and Exhibitor Ticket Allotments later if your booth packages include attendee tickets.
Create Add Ons For Booths
To sell booths, you'll need to create add ons as your booth packages. When you create add ons, select Exhibitor Booth as add on type.
Go to Registration > Set Up Tickets
Go to Add Ons
Create an add on
Select Exhibitor Booth as add on type
Note: Add Ons cannot be purchased using the venue designer.
Create a Booth Name Order Form Field
To ensure that the registrant's preferred booth name populates in the booth, you can create an Add On Field and connect that field to the booth.
In this example, we want exhibitors to enter their company name during registration through the add on field, so that when the booth is created, the booth will have the company name as the booth name.
Note: If you don't connect an add on field to the exhibitor name property, the booth name will be the buyer's name.
1. Create an Add On Field for the Booth Name
Go to Registration > Order Form
Select the Add-on tab
Click +Add Field
Add the fields that you want to include in the order form when exhibitors purchase a booth
Click Save
Enable the toggles for Include and Require
2. Connect the Order Form Field to the Booth Property
Go to Exhibitors & Sponsors > Exhibitors
Click Settings
Go to Properties
Open the property for editing
In the Connect Form Field dropdown, select the add on form field you want to connect to this property
Click Update
You can also connect the other booth properties to add on fields so that the answer would automatically populate in the booth. We recommend connecting the short description and social media links.
Purchase a Booth
In the registration page, the booth add ons can be purchased even without purchasing tickets. The buyer will be asked to enter their name, email, answer the add on questions, and enter their payment information upon check out.
After submitting, a small booth will automatically be created. If the Exhibitor Name property is connected to an add on field, the value entered will populate as the booth name. The buyer will also be added as an exhibitor admin to the booth.
Exhibitor Ticket Allotment
If you're giving ticket allotments for exhibitors, please read the article on Exhibitor Tiers and Exhibitor Ticket Allotment so you can ensures that the proper number of attendee tickets and discounts can be provided to exhibitors if that's part of their package.
The whole idea is for them to purchase the exhibitor add on, then after they are given access to the booth, they can purchase / claim the tickets that are included in their booth package. These tickets can be purchased directly in the Exhibitor Resource Center (ERC) or also know as the Exhibitor Portal, through the Team tab.
