Edit menu options
Information
Edit the main event details originally set during event creation:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Banner | Event cover image |
| Title | Event name |
| Description | Full event description |
| Categories | Event categorization |
| Location | Venue information |
| Contact | Contact details |
| Social networks | Social media links |
| YouTube video | Embedded video |
| Extra images | Additional event photos |
| Agenda | Event schedule/lineup |
| FAQs | Frequently asked questions |
| Custom sections | Additional content blocks |
⚠️ 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:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Include service charge in ticket price | Hide service charge from buyers (include in displayed price) |
| Block multi-type ticket purchases | Prevent buying different ticket types in one purchase |
| Buyer data fields | Configure which fields to collect. Always required: name and email. Phone/Birthdate are optional. ID is conditional by brand billing setup |
| Ask buyer info per ticket | Collect 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:
| Provider | Description |
|---|---|
| Facebook Pixel | Meta advertising tracking |
| Google Analytics | GA4 analytics |
| Google Tag Manager | GTM container |
How to assign:
- Select a tracking code from the dropdown next to each provider
- Or click "Create new tracking code" to create one directly from this modal (no need to go to brand settings)
- 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:
- Date range — Select start and end dates for generation
- Event duration — Length of each show (e.g. 1h 30min)
- 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)
- Days of the week — Check which days should have events (e.g. every Friday and Saturday)
- 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.

- URL changes: Remember old links will break
Major changes checklist

Timing considerations
- Make info changes well before the event

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:
- Go to Edit → Dates and times
- Click on the date you want to reschedule
- Change the date and time to the new schedule
- Save your changes
Then, communicate the change to attendees:
- Go to Communications → Send email
- Write a message explaining the date change
- 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.
