How to Create Pass Types
Registration and ticket types can be found on your event’s dashboard. Log into your channel, go to your Main Series, then select Manage Event dashboard. From there, navigate to the Registration & Passes section on the left hand side.
There are two types of passes to create: Regular and Subscription. Regular passes are one-time passes that can provide basic access to your event while Subscription passes are passes that attendees can purchase to subscribe to your event over a period of time. Both can have multiple types at different price points, giving your attendees options to choose from.
How to Create a Regular Pass
Click New Regular Pass and in the right-hand drawer that appears, create your pass. Give it a name (i.e., “Early Bird,” “All Access,” etc.), description and price. In the prompts that follow, set your desired pass capacity and expiration date, if applicable.
For instance, if I were providing discounted All Access passes to the first 100 guests to register, I’d set Number of Passes Available to Limited, then enter 100 under Pass Limit. If I wanted sales for this pass to end on New Year’s Eve 2020, regardless of how many passes were purchased, I’d set Sales of this Pass Expire to On a Date, then enter the date under Expiration Date.
Under Series Included in this Pass, you can then set user permissions for passholders. When you click the box, a dropdown containing all of the BigMarker webinar series associated with your event modules (Expo Hall, Networking Center, etc.).
Additionally, you can give your pass a password (learn more here), so that attendees who enter the password will be able to purchase the ticket. When finished, click Save & Exit.
All of your passes will be below to view purchase history and edit. Click Edit to go back to the pass’s settings to toggle and View Purchasers to see the name, date and email address of each purchaser.
How to Create a Subscription Pass
Switch over to the Subscription Passes tab, and click New Subscription Pass.
Another right-hand drawer will appear where you can fill out the subscription’s information. Enter in the subscription pass’s name, description, price with currency, and billing frequency.
You can apply the same user permissions for passholders by associating the passes with a webinar series associated with your event modules using the dropdown under Series Included in this Pass.
Lastly, mark if the subscription pass needs Event Host Approval by clicking yes or no, and if yes fill out the email addresses an email will need to be sent for pass approval. You can enter in as many email addresses as desired, using a comma to separate them.
How to Edit the Notifications for Subscription Passes
When creating a Subscription pass, attendees will get pop up notifications. These notifications will be for: Purchase Confirmation, Pending Approval, Subscription Updates, Subscription Expirations, Cancellation Confirmation and Cancellation Success. These are for each of the stages your attendees will go through when purchasing a Subscription pass. All of these can be found on the Settings tab towards the bottom. You can customize each notifications:
- Title
- Subtitle
- CTA text
Each has placeholder text that can be changed to feel more unique to your event.
