Overview

The Advanced settings section allows users to configure additional behavioural and visibility settings for a specific shop (sales channel).

These settings control:

  • How the shop is accessed

  • What visitors see before, during, and after sales

  • Optional functionality (such as discount fields)

  • Promotional upsell behaviour

This section is used to fine-tune the customer journey beyond the basic ticket configuration.


What You Can Configure Here


Channel Specific Description

What it does:
Allows you to define a shop-specific description that overrides the default event description.

Why use it:
Different sales channels may require different messaging.
For example:

  • Partner sales

  • Member pre-sale

  • Corporate ticketing

  • Special campaigns

How it works:

  • Enable the toggle

  • Enter a custom description

  • Save changes

  • This description will appear only in this specific shop


Private Access

What it does:
Locks the shop so only visitors with an access key can enter.

Why use it:
For:

  • Pre-sales

  • Invite-only sales

  • Sponsor allocations

  • Exclusive campaigns

How it works:

  • Enable the toggle

  • Configure the access key

  • Only visitors with the correct key can access the shop

This prevents public visibility.


Display Discount Field

What it does:
Enables or disables the discount code input field in the shop.

Why use it:

  • Hide the field if no discounts are active

  • Show the field when running campaigns or promotional codes

How it works:

  • Toggle ON → Visitors can enter a discount code

  • Toggle OFF → Discount field is hidden

This keeps the checkout clean when discounts are not relevant.


Countdown Page

What it does:
Displays a countdown page before sales officially start.

Why use it:

  • Build anticipation

  • Prevent early access

  • Create structured sale launches

How it works:

  • Enable the toggle

  • The shop shows a countdown instead of ticket selection until the sale time

  • Once the sale begins, the shop opens automatically


After Event

What it does:
Allows you to configure a custom page that appears after the event or after sales have ended.

Why use it:

  • Redirect visitors to future events

  • Display thank-you messaging

  • Provide additional information

  • Maintain engagement

How it works:

  • Enable the toggle

  • Configure custom content

  • This page remains active for up to 30 days after sales/event end


Upsell Events

What it does:
Promotes other events to customers who completed an order in this shop.

Why use it:

  • Increase repeat purchases

  • Cross-promote events

  • Boost customer lifetime value

How it works:

Two options:

Select event

  • Choose another event within the platform

  • Automatically link it for promotion

Add shop URL manually

  • Enter a direct URL

  • Redirect customers to an external or specific shop

This appears after order completion.


Timeline Panel (Right Side)

The Timeline shows:

  • Current shop status (e.g., Public sale)

  • Scheduled closing date and time

  • What page will be shown after closing

This gives a quick operational overview of the shop lifecycle.


Important Notice

  • Are visible immediately for new visitors
