Create and manage offers

You can configure upsell offers at two points: during event creation (in the wizard) or after the event is published (from the event detail Offers tab). Both paths support the same two directions and the same configuration options.


Two offer directions

DirectionDescription
Reward buyers of this eventAfter someone buys tickets for this event, they see a discount offer for other events
Promote this event in othersAfter someone buys tickets for other events, they see a discount offer for this event

Both directions can be configured independently and run simultaneously for the same event.


Option 1: Configure from the Create Event wizard

The wizard includes an optional "Boost cross-sells" step between the Tickets step and publishing. It only appears if the Upsells module is enabled for your account.

Choosing a direction

You'll see two cards:

  • Reward buyers — select this to offer discounts on other events to buyers of this event
  • Promote this event — select this to have this event promoted in the checkout of other events

Click a card to select it and reveal the configuration panel. You can only have one direction active per wizard session. Switching directions after configuring will prompt a confirmation, as it resets the current configuration.

Configuring your offer

Event selection

  • "Reward buyers": Select up to 3 target events (the events buyers will be offered discounts for). Event cards show only the banner image; hover to see the event name.
  • "Promote this event": Select up to 3 source events (the events whose buyers will see a discount on your event).

Discount percentage

Set the discount percentage to apply. Default is 15%.

Ticket scope

Choose which tickets the discount applies to:

  • A multi-select input shows all tickets across the selected events, formatted as "Ticket name (Event name)"
  • All tickets are selected by default
  • Deselect individual tickets to exclude them
  • If you deselect all tickets for a specific event, that event is automatically removed from the offer

Advanced settings (optional)

Click Advanced settings to expand:

SettingDescriptionDefault
Schedule startDate when the offer starts showingImmediately
Schedule endDate when the offer stops showingSource event end date
Minimum orderMinimum tickets per purchase for the discount to apply1
Maximum orderMaximum tickets per purchase for the discount to applyUnlimited

Live preview

A preview panel on the right shows a real-time, animated simulation of how the offer will appear to buyers during checkout. It cycles through all selected events so you can see how each one looks.

Finishing the step

Click Continue to save the offer and move to the next wizard step. The offer is created and active once the event is published. You can skip this step and configure offers later from the event detail.


Option 2: Manage from the event detail Offers tab

Open any event and click the Offers tab. The tab is divided into two sections:

"Reward buyers of this event" section

Lists all offers where this event is the source — buyers of this event get discounts on other events.

Click Create offer to open the offer creation dialog.

"This event promoted in others" section

Lists all offers where this event is the target — buyers of other events get a discount on this event.

Click Promote this event to open the promotion configuration dialog.


Creating an offer from the Offers tab

Reward buyers — "Create offer" dialog

A single-screen dialog where you configure the full offer:

  1. Select target events — Event cards with banner images (up to 3). Hover to see the event name.
  2. Ticket scope — Multi-select of all tickets across selected events ("Ticket name (Event name)" format). All selected by default.
  3. Discount percentage — Default: 15%
  4. Advanced settings (click to expand): Schedule, min/max order
  5. Live preview — Real-time animated preview on the right that cycles through the selected events

Click Create to save.

  2. Ticket scope — Select which tickets of this event will receive the discount. All selected by default.

  4. Advanced settings (click to expand): Schedule, min/max order

Click Promote to save.

How buyers see the offer

  1. Purchase completed → Buyer finishes buying tickets for the source event
  2. 3-second delay → Brief pause before the offer appears
  3. Full-screen modal with: countdown timer, buyer's name, carousel of target events with discount percentages
  4. Buyer clicks an event → Redirected to checkout with all data pre-filled
  5. Just select tickets and pay — done

Buyers can close the modal at any time. This counts as a "view" but not a purchase.


Yes. An event can have one outgoing offer (rewarding its own buyers with discounts on other events) and also appear as a target in multiple incoming offers from other events. Both run simultaneously and independently.

If a target event sells out, it stops appearing in the offer carousel. If all target events in an offer sell out, the offer won't be shown.

Yes. Click the pencil icon on any offer card to edit the discount percentage, ticket scope, or any other setting.

Click the Active/Inactive pill directly on the offer card. It toggles immediately with no confirmation required.

The global minimum (in Settings) controls whether any offer is shown at all. The per-offer minimum (in Advanced settings) controls how many tickets must be purchased for the specific discount to apply.

The event is automatically removed from the offer. You can't have an event in an offer with no applicable tickets.

Yes. Buyers can close the modal at any time. This counts as a "view" in your analytics but not a click or purchase.

No. The timer continues running. If the buyer returns after the timer expires, they won't see the offer.

Yes. The wizard step is completely optional. You can skip it and configure everything from the event detail Offers tab at any time after publishing.

In the wizard, you can only configure one direction per wizard session. From the event detail Offers tab, you can independently create offers in both directions — and both can be active simultaneously.
