Frequently Asked Questions

Can attendees buy just the add-on without a ticket?

No, they need to buy a ticket, too. If they buy a ticket and forget to buy an add-on item, they can return to buy the add-on. They just need to be logged in so the system can detect whether they have an existing ticket.

Can an attendee purchase multiple add-ons?

Yes, they can!

Can I add a picture to the add-on?

There isn't a way to add images within the Add-On itself, but you could include pictures of your add-ons in the About tab of the landing page.

Can add-ons be used for both in-person and virtual events?

Can discounts and access codes be applied to add-ons?

Can someone buy add-on through the registration approval process?

Buying add-ons will only be available when they claim their spot after approval.

How can they receive the item if I'm selling a physical product?

There is no option to arrange delivery through Accelevents. You will have to use a service or application outside of Accelevents.

How am I going to collect the attendee's shipping information if I'm selling a physical product?

You can create custom questions and set them as a requirement for attendees to fill out the order form. Set this up by going to Registration > Order Form.
