Add-ons & Additional Items
Add-ons are extra items attendees can buy while they register, on top of their ticket. They're a simple way to offer more without creating separate tickets.
Common add-ons:
- Event T-shirts, hats, or other merch
- Meals or a dinner ticket
- Parking passes
- Workshop or session upgrades

How add-ons work
Each add-on has a name and a price, just like a ticket. During registration, attendees see your add-ons after choosing their ticket and can add any they want to their order. The cost is included in their total at checkout.
Add-ons are optional for the attendee, they can register without picking any.
When to use an add-on vs. a ticket
- Use a ticket for the core thing someone is registering for (admission, a seat, entry).
- Use an add-on for extras that go alongside a ticket (a shirt, a meal, parking).
If an item only makes sense with admission, an add-on keeps it tidy, attendees choose their ticket first, then pick extras in the same flow.
Pricing and totals
Add-ons are paid alongside the ticket in a single order, so attendees check out once for everything. Paid add-ons require a connected payment account, the same as paid tickets. You can also offer a free add-on (priced at $0), useful for things like meal selections where you want a count but aren't charging.
Add-on purchases are part of the same order as the ticket. Refunds and changes follow the order, so review your refund policies if you sell add-ons you may need to refund separately.
