Global event settings allows you to manage some default settings for new events.
You can now access Global event settings from your Dashboard under the heading Events:
These settings are the default for any newly created events, existing events will not be affected.
Cloned events will inherit the Global event settings, these details can be edited once the event has been created.
Public or private events
To make creating your event even easier, we now give you the option to mark all events as either Private or Public upon creation.
Note, the publication of individual events can still be edited, see Set an event to private and password protect
Default contact details
Adding your event organizer details at the Global event setting level will pre-populate this information every time a new event is created.
Contact details can also be edited at the event level via Event name and contact under Basic Information on your Dashboard.
Customize your checkout page
We now give you the option as to whether you wish to collect the customers address and phone number at the checkout for both Free and Paid events.
Checkout fields can still be edited at the event level, see: Custom Forms
Display more events for bookings
Boost your sales by advertising some of your other events at the checkout. Enabling this feature will provide an event carousel to display your other events that are open for booking.
Manage Apple and Google wallet tickets
Now you can decide if your ticket buyers can add their tickets to their smartphone wallets. Simply toggle this option to either enable or disable.
Event Booking Notifications
Enable Booking Notifications on all new events by providing your email address.
For more information on creating Booking Notifications, see: Booking Notifications
Ask to send Promotional Emails?
By default, on checkout, Vanco Events asks the customer on behalf of the event organizer as to whether they would like to Opt In to receiving their promotional marketing. Should you not wish for Vanco Events to ask this question on your behalf, you will have the option to deactivate this field.
If you deactivate this field:
- This does not update any previous consent that the customer may have given to you via alternative means or from previous purchases to your events
- If they are a new contact (ie. they haven't purchase to a previous event nor are they an existing contact on your mailing list), then they have not been able to provide you with consent to receiving marking or promotional material. Thus, you should only send them communications regarding the event they have booked to. This is true regardless of whether the communication is coming directly via Vanco Events or via your own mailing system.
Event terms and conditions
Set generic terms and conditions that can apply to all new events
