Note: This feature only applies to In-Person Event or P2P In-Person Event campaign types.
You can raise additional funds for your campaign by offering items for sale at registration. Funds raised from add-on purchases will be tracked separately in your dashboard and you’ll be able to instantly download a record of add-on purchases to help you plan your ordering.
Add-ons are displayed as part of the registration experience and are also offered at checkout. When a participant clicks on an add-on, it opens up more information about the item, any questions required, and the option to add it to their order. If a participant skips purchasing an add-on during registration but later changes their mind, they can return to registration at any time to select and pay for their add-on.
Enable add-ons for purchase
Visit your campaign’s Dashboard.
Select Settings from the left hand menu, then select Registration.
Visit the Add-ons tab and click Add add-on.
A pop-up will appear allowing you to customize your add-on. Enter the item name and item price, which are required.
Review the additional settings, where you can include a description and photo that will display alongside your add-on, set a quantity limit, offer options to choose from, and enable an additional question to collect other details you may need.
Click Save. The add-on will immediately become active, but you can adjust the toggle to disable it at any time.
Monitor add-on purchases and export add-on sales
Visit your campaign’s Dashboard. Your campaign’s fundraising snapshot will display how much you’ve raised from add-ons in comparison to donations, registrations, sponsorships, or other fundraising streams.
Select Event Day from the left hand menu, then visit the Add-Ons tab.
You will find a table displaying all the individuals who purchased add-ons and what they purchased. Use the search bar to find a particular buyer’s order or click Download to export a list of all add-ons.
Mark add-ons as fulfilled
Visit your campaign’s Dashboard.
Select Event Day from the left hand menu, then visit the Add-Ons tab.
Use the search table to find the buyer’s name, which will pull up any add-ons they have purchased. If multiple items were purchased, each will display as a separate line item. You can click on their name to view additional details about their add-on purchase.
Click the Mark fulfilled button to indicate for your records that the item has been distributed to the buyer.
Note: Marking items as fulfilled does not trigger any email or notification to the buyer. It is an internal tool designed to help you track who has received their add-on purchases, if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are add-on purchases tax deductible?
No. Add-ons are not considered tax deductible because goods or services are being received by the buyer in exchange for their purchase. When participants receive their Order Receipt, the amount displayed as tax deductible will not include the price of their add-on. Any fees they cover on the add-on purchase will be tax deductible, however, as they are donating an additional amount to cover transaction fees.
Can anyone purchase an add-on, even if they aren’t registering to attend my event?
Yes. Add-ons can be purchased regardless of if a ticket is being purchased. This also means that participants can return to registration and purchase an add-on if they initially skipped, but have changed their mind.
What happens when add-ons are sold out?
If you enabled a quantity limit for your add-on item and that limit has been met, your add-on will be hidden and no longer be visible for participants to purchase.
