The Add On widget in the badge designer allows you to include the attendee's add-on information in the badge, customize the text content that appears, and print in different colors depending on which add-on the attendee purchased.
For example, during registration, the attendee buys an add-on named "Summit Access Day 1." Instead of showing the full name of the add-on on the badge, you can customize the text and just show "Summit Access" and differentiate their access by assigning different colors for each day of the event. This way, your staff can easily identify from afar whether attendees have access for day 1, day 2, or the whole event. You can also use this to display all the add ons they bought, such as add on meals, so staff can look at the badge and easily know which items to hand out.

That's it! Test it by registering 2 attendees with different add-ons, then print the badges.
Important Notes:
Uploaded add ons will not appear in the badge.
Adding a color is ideal for events where attendees are allowed to purchase only 1 add on. If an attendee purchases multiple add-ons, all the information will appear in 1 line separated by a comma, and the color will be the color of the first add-ons.
You can only print in color if you have a colored printer and PrintNode configured.
If you add multiple add on widgets to the badge, the widget settings will be independent from each other.
Recommended Internet Speed When Printing Badges Onsite
While onsite, the recommended minimum internet speed per device is:
Download: 10 Mbps
Upload: 5 Mbps
Wired Ethernet is highly preferred for stability and speed for printers.If using Wi-Fi, ensure:
Strong signal strength at each kiosk
Dedicated network with minimal interference
No bandwidth-sharing with other high-traffic activities (like livestreams)
Each kiosk device should have dedicated bandwidth, so if you’re using 5 kiosks, you should ideally have at least 50 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up available in total.
