What are the different Package types?
There are three basic Package types:
Invites: Invite Packages are created to be added to emailed invites, sent from the Emails page. The default Invite Package contains one seat at the event. You can create Invite Packages containing more than one seat - which means if a recipient accepts one of these Invites, they will be registered and also be able to register additional guests - up to the total amount of seats in the Package. Invite emails sent with these Packages contain ‘Accept / Decline’ buttons for the recipient to choose from. Clicking ‘Accept’ automatically registers the recipient at your event. Therefore, Invites are always ‘free’ (do not have to be paid for). You can add a money ‘value’ to an Invite Package for event tracking purposes, but it cannot be paid for by the recipient.
Tickets: Ticket Packages are created to appear on your registration page and contain a number of seats / registrations per package and a price. The default Ticket Package contains one seat / registration for your event and is set to $0, ready for you to set the price. You can create any number of Ticket Packages, each containing any number of seats / registrations for any price. Once toggled ‘on’, they appear on your registration page. The default Register Package is also a kind of Ticket, but by default it is set to be free of charge. This Register Package is automatically toggled on to appear on your registration page if you select ‘allow free registrations’ during event setup.
3rd Party: These Packages are a subset of either Invites or Tickets. 3rd Party Packages are unique in that the initial user (either the Invite recipient or the Ticket purchaser) is not necessarily the individual attending the event. Rather, they are the coordinator of the guests who will use the seats in the 3rd Party Package. 3rd Party Packages are used for sponsors or event partners who may have multiple seats at your event and who want to manage those registrations themselves. 3rd Party Packages can be created as Invites and added to emails, or created as registration page packages and toggled on to appear for purchase on your registration page.
Can I create my own Packages?
