Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can we disable the event ticket PDF from being generated and send our own custom attachment as the ticket?
Yes, which will give you greater control over the design of the tickets and the information communicated to guests. However this does mean that the tickets won't be unique, have guest names, or QR codes. Check out this article to learn more.
Q: Can we customize the messages on the purchase confirmation webpage and email?
Yes, please see this article for more.
Q: Can we customize the information that appears on the itemized receipt?
No, the itemized receipt is generated by our system and is not customizable.
