Creating Add-On Items for Events

Add-on items function as optional enhancements—such as parking passes, merchandise, or upgrades—that customers can select during checkout. They do not appear on the main event page and only display once a user adds a qualifying ticket to their cart.

For adding an item image to your tickets, follow the steps below: 

  • Log in to your Purplepass event organizer dashboard
  • In the dashboard, click Create New Event or, choose to edit an existing event

Viewing Add-Ons in the Cart

When a customer adds a qualifying ticket to their cart, a window prompts them to add any available add-ons. Selected add-ons are then included in the cart, each displayed with its own image, description, and price. Customers can adjust quantities before completing their purchase.

Additional Notes

  • Inventory & Restrictions: Add-ons follow the same inventory and scheduling rules as regular tickets. You can set start/end sales dates, manage stock, and apply taxes.
  • Exclusions: Currently, add-ons cannot be part of packages, passes, or donations.
  • Sorting & Visibility: Arrange add-ons in the ticket management area and control which add-ons appear for specific ticket types.

By following these steps, you can strategically offer add-ons, ensuring a smooth and informative experience for your attendees.
