⚠️ Location warning: If you change from a numbered seats location, all seat positioning in the map will be lost. Also, attendees are not automatically notified of location changes. If you make a relevant change, create a manual email to inform attendees about the new location.

FAQs note: If your event has a chatbot enabled, changing the FAQs will update the chatbot's responses accordingly.


Checkout configuration

Modify checkout behavior:

SettingDescription
Include service charge in ticket priceHide service charge from buyers (include in displayed price)
Block multi-type ticket purchasesPrevent buying different ticket types in one purchase
Buyer data fieldsConfigure which fields to collect. Always required: name and email. Phone/Birthdate are optional. ID is conditional by brand billing setup
Ask buyer info per ticketCollect info for each attendee, not just the buyer

⚠️ Important about Buyer data fields: If you need phone numbers or birthdates from your buyers (to contact them, export lists, run campaigns, segmentation, etc.), you must enable "Phone" and/or "Birthdate" in this section BEFORE they purchase. Once someone buys without you requesting that data, there's no way to recover it. If you enable these fields later, only future purchases will have that information.
ID/Document behavior depends on your brand setup: if Fanz collects or automatic billing is enabled, ID is locked on; if both are disabled, ID can be turned on/off.

Important: Checkout configuration changes only affect future purchases. For example, if you enable "Ask buyer info per ticket" after half your tickets are sold, only the remaining purchases will collect per-ticket info — existing purchases won't be affected.


Pixels & analytics

Connect analytics and advertising tools to track event page performance:

ProviderDescription
Facebook PixelMeta advertising tracking
Google AnalyticsGA4 analytics
Google Tag ManagerGTM container

How to assign:

  1. Select a tracking code from the dropdown next to each provider
  2. Or click "Create new tracking code" to create one directly from this modal (no need to go to brand settings)
  3. Click Save

Note: Only one code per provider per event. Tracking is per-event, not per-date or site-wide.

See Marketing settings for managing all your tracking codes.


Schedule & Dates

Manage your event dates using a visual calendar.

Viewing dates:

  • All dates appear as chips on the calendar
  • Click any date chip to edit

Editing a date:

  • Click on an existing date to open the edit modal
  • Modify: date, start time, entry opening, end time
  • Click the pencil next to the date name to rename it
  • Preview shows: date, name, entry opening, start time, end time, duration

Actions:

  • Delete: Remove the date
  • Cancel: Discard changes
  • Edit: Save changes

Adding dates:

  • Hover over a blank future date → click "Add date"
  • Or click "Generate dates" (top right) for bulk creation

Bulk date generation:

Click "Generate dates" to open the date generator. Configure:

  1. Date range — Select start and end dates for generation
  2. Event duration — Length of each show (e.g. 1h 30min)
  3. Doors open before start — How many minutes before the start time doors open (0 = same as start, or e.g. 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes before)
  4. Days of the week — Check which days should have events (e.g. every Friday and Saturday)
  5. Times — Set start time(s) per day; door opening is derived from "Doors open before start"

The form resets when you close the modal (after generating or canceling), so each time you open it you start with a clean form.

This is the same tool available during event creation. Useful for theater runs, weekly events, or any recurring schedule.

See Date generator in the Create event guide for more details.


Questions

Question types:

  • Short text

  • Reorder answer options: For multiple/single choice questions, click and hold the drag handle next to each option to change their order
  • Changes are saved automatically when you click "Save changes"
  • The drag handles are always visible for clarity

RSVP answers appear in the Assistants tab and exports.

Best practices

Before making changes

  • Banner/title changes: Update any marketing materials with old info
  • Date changes: Notify attendees via Communications tab
  • URL changes: Remember old links will break

Timing considerations

FAQs

Most changes only affect future purchases. Prices, ticket names, and configurations are locked at purchase time.

Only if you haven't shared the link yet. Changing the URL breaks all previous links.

Go to the Tickets tab and edit each ticket. Or use bulk edit from the Events list.

You can only add future dates. Past dates cannot be created.

Purchases remain valid but can no longer be made. You'll need to manually refund or change affected orders.

The best option is to edit the existing date instead of canceling and creating a new one:

  1. Go to Edit → Dates and times
  2. Click on the date you want to reschedule
  3. Change the date and time to the new schedule
  4. Save your changes

Then, communicate the change to attendees:

  1. Go to Communications → Send email
  2. Write a message explaining the date change
  3. Offer the option to request a refund for those who can't attend

Advantages of this method:

  • Tickets remain valid automatically
  • No need to manually move orders
  • Attendees who want refunds request them individually
  • Avoids the complex process of cancel + create + migrate orders

Only use "Cancel date" if you're definitively canceling without rescheduling.
