- Under Export only registrations with these sessions, select the items that you would like to include in the export list.

Event Confirmation Email
Selling
a cart item when attendees register for an event does not trigger a
separate cart receipt. If there is special information you need to
include in the receipt you should add it to the event confirmation
email.
The [itemtable] tag can be used in the Event Confirmation Email in the Advanced tab to
provide a break down of the event registration charges by ticket and
item. In the example below 2 member tickets were purchased along with 1
medium and 1 small t-shirt.
To have the confirmation email include all the information associated with each ticket you can use the tag [tqn].
FAQs
- Items are set up separately on each event.
- The
discount code is applied to each item included in the registration. For
example if you set up a $10 discount code for a t-shirt and someone
registers for 3 tickets and chooses a t-shirt for each ticket, the
discount code will apply to all 3 t-shirts for a total discount of $30.
