Customizing Your Event Code Field: Labels & Descriptions
Event organizers now have more control over how the code input field appears on the registration form. This new feature helps you tailor the experience to fit your event’s unique needs, whether you have created discount or access codes for your attendees to use when registering for event tickets.
Introducing the Code Settings Panel
Within Registration, under the Codes tab in your event dashboard, you’ll now see a “Code Settings” button. Clicking this button opens a dedicated panel where you can customize how the code field is presented to your registrants.
Note that these settings apply globally to all codes you create for the event.
Customization Options
Within the Code Settings panel, you’ll find:
1. Label (Required) - Sets the visible heading of the code field on the registration form, e.g. "Discount Code", "Access key". Ensure to choose the wording that makes sense for your event’s context.
2. Description (Optional) - Appears directly below the label on the form. This space can be used to explain why the code is needed or give additional guidance, e.g. "Enter the organization-issued code to complete registration.”
3. Preview Function - Allows you to see exactly how your customized field will look to registrants. You can type in a mock code to check spacing, alignment, and styling before saving changes.
How it Appears to Registrants
When someone registers for your event, they’ll encounter:
- A code input field clearly labeled according to your customization (e.g., “Discount Code”).
- If you’ve provided a description, it will appear beneath the label, offering helpful context or instructions.
- The underlying function such as validation rules, discount application, or access logic remains exactly as you configured it before.
Hidden Tickets Requiring an Access Code
If all your tickets are set as “hidden,” the registration experience changes slightly:
- Users first land on a page that looks empty, with no visible ticket options.
Instead, they see:
- A message explaining that a code is required to display available tickets.
- A code input field.
- Once a valid code is entered, the hidden tickets become visible, and registration can proceed as normal.
This flow is especially useful for private or invitation-only events or events where certain ticket types should only appear for users with the correct code
Customizing the code field helps you:
- Provide clear instructions tailored to your event
- Reduce confusion and improve the user experience
- Maintain consistent branding and messaging across the registration process
