Manage Donations

2 min read

 

To create and manage tickets for your event, navigate to your Event Dashboard and select Tickets. Then, click on the “Create Ticket” button in the top right corner of the page. This will open a new page where you can set up and customize ticket details.

Ticket Types #

When creating a new ticket, you’ll first need to select a ticket type, which determines how the ticket behaves and what it’s used for. Each type serves a unique purpose and affects how availability and access are managed.

This article focuses on the “Donation” type that allows attendees to contribute a chosen amount.

To learn more about the other ticket types, click on their names below:

  • Ticket – Standard admission for a specific date or time slot. Ideal for one-time entry.
  • Pass – Designed for recurring or extended access, such as weekly, monthly, or annual passes.
  • Addon Item – Supplemental items or services (e.g., merchandise, rentals, upgrades) that do not count toward time slot capacity.
  • Donation – Allows attendees to make a voluntary contribution. Useful for fundraisers or support options; does not affect time slot limits.

Important: The ticket type cannot be changed after the ticket is created, so select carefully.

Ticket Name #

This is the name of the ticket, which will be visible to customers on your ticketing page and on e-tickets after purchase.

Ticket Description #

You can provide additional details about the ticket in the Ticket Description field.

  • Default Behavior: The description is initially hidden to save space, with an option to expand.
  • Always Expanded: Check the “Description Always Expanded” box to make the description permanently visible.

Suggested Donation Range #

You can guide your attendees by setting a suggested donation range. These values appear on the ticketing widget as non-binding recommendations to help attendees decide how much to contribute.

Suggested Lower Range #

Sets a recommended minimum donation amount. This does not enforce a minimum—it simply appears as a prompt. Leave blank if you prefer not to suggest one.

#

Sets a recommended maximum donation amount. Like the lower range, this is only a suggestion and not enforced. Leave blank to skip it.

Quantity Available #

Specify the total number of tickets available for sale under Quantity Available.

  • Leave blank if tickets are unlimited (e.g., for ongoing events such as museums).

Start Sale On / End Sale On #

  • Start Sale On: The date the ticket becomes available for sale. Leave blank to activate immediately.
  • End Sale On: The date ticket sales end. Leave blank to keep the ticket available indefinitely.

Calendar #

Link the donation to specific dates and time slots by assigning it to a calendar. This does not affect or reduce the capacity of those time slots, unlike regular tickets.

Instead, attaching a calendar simply associates the donation with a specific date and time for internal purposes. This makes it easier to:

  • Sort and manage your orders
  • View donation purchases by date
  • Prepare inventory or staff based on scheduled usage

Custom calendars and time slots can be created on the Time Slots page.

Ticket Icon #

Add a visual element to your ticket by selecting a Ticket Icon, which will appear next to the ticket name on the ticketing widget.

Display Sold Out #

Enable the Display Sold Out option to keep sold-out tickets visible on your event page instead of automatically hiding them.

When activated, tickets that have reached their sales limit will be marked as “Sold Out”, allowing attendees to see which options were available but are no longer for sale.

This feature helps create urgency, builds demand, and reassures potential buyers about ticket popularity.

Cannot Be Sold Individually #

Use this setting to require tickets to be sold alongside others (e.g., children’s tickets sold only with adult tickets).

Hide This Ticket #

Select “Hide This Ticket” to prevent the ticket from appearing on the widget while keeping it saved for future use.

Save Ticket #

Once all fields are filled out, click Create Ticket in the bottom-right corner to save your ticket.
