It's easy to collect custom information for each ticket order. First you need to set up each request as a Custom Field. A custom field is exactly as it sounds, a field that you customise. We've seen it used for all sorts of purposes like requesting coaching accreditation, uploading certificates, choosing a meal for the event from a provided list, you can begin to see how diverse its uses are!
Part A - How to set up a Custom Field
Step 1
Log in to the Dashboard if you aren't already and go to Organisation Settings.
Note, you must have 'Organisation Admin' user permissions to access this area.
Step 2
