Revamped Ticketing Experience in Studio

We’re excited to introduce an enhanced ticketing section in Studio, designed to simplify ticket creation and management while providing a more intuitive experience for organizers. With a structured layout and modern design, you can now create and manage tickets with greater efficiency.

What’s New?

1. Seamless Ticket Creation Process

The ticket creation process has been completely reimagined:

  • Dedicated Ticket Creation Page: Instead of a pop-up modal, clicking "Create a Ticket" now takes you to a redesigned page with more space and clarity.
  • Three-Step Ticket Setup:
    • Basic Ticket Information – Enter essential details with mandatory fields in place.
    • Ticket Type Selection – Choose between Free or Paid tickets effortlessly.
    • Additional Settings – Customize advanced options to tailor the ticketing experience.

2. Improved Payment Gateway Setup

For paid tickets, the system will automatically check for a configured payment gateway. If one isn’t set up, a clear message will prompt you to configure it, ensuring a smooth payment process for attendees.

3. Intuitive Ticket Management

  • Once tickets are created, they appear in the Ticket Display Section, offering a clear overview of all tickets.
  • Easy Editing: Click on any ticket to make changes in a convenient modal window, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.

The Bottom Line

With these updates, ticketing in Studio is now more streamlined, user-friendly, and efficient. By reducing friction in ticket creation and management, we’re empowering event organizers to focus on what truly matters—delivering great experiences.

Finally, we've expanded currency support for paid tickets to include ZAR, DKK, PLN, CHF, NOK, CZK, HUF, and RON, giving you more flexibility in managing global sales.

Try out the new ticketing experience in Studio today, and let us know your feedback!

Removal of the Tags feature On February 11th, 2025

As part of our continuous effort to improve our platform, we are removing the tags feature from Swapcard.

We are constantly improving and updating our product to provide you with the best experience possible. As part of this, we have made the decision to remove the Tags feature from our platform.

Why are we removing the Tags feature?

After careful consideration and feedback from our users, we have found that the Tags feature was not being utilized to its full potential. We believe that by removing this feature, we can provide you with a better usage and more streamlined experience on Swapcard.

What does this mean for you?

Don't worry, your scores and notes will still remain on your leads! This change is only affecting the Tags feature. We understand that tags can be a useful tool for organizing and categorizing your leads, however, we have found that our new qualification forms can do this job even better. Tags already assigned to some contacts will remain available for several months in the Leads Export file. 

How can you qualify a lead without tags?

With our new qualification forms, you can easily add specific attributes and information about your leads to help you better understand and categorize them. This will not only make it easier for you to identify and follow up with qualified leads, but it will also provide a better experience for your potential clients.

This modification will be live on February 11th, 2025.

Managing Paid Ticket Registrations & Change of Ticket from Studio

As an event organizer, you now have more flexibility in managing paid ticket registrations, ticket changes, and payment requests. This guide will walk you through the new features that allow you to register attendees for paid tickets, switch ticket types, and handle payments efficiently.

Registering an Attendee for a Paid Ticket

You can now register an attendee for a paid ticket and send them a payment link to collect the amount due. Here’s how it works:

  • When you select a paid ticket for an attendee, the balance for the ticket will be reflected as “Balance Due” in the financial summary.
  • The Payment Status will be marked as “Balance Due” until the attendee completes the payment.
  • The paid ticket will be visible under the Event Tickets section of the registration tab for the user.
  • You will have the option to “Send the Payment Link” to request payment.

Changing a Ticket from Free to Paid

If an attendee initially registered for a free ticket but now wants to upgrade to a paid ticket, you can update their registration and request payment seamlessly:

  • The ticket change will be reflected in the financial summary.
  • Any previous transactions (if applicable) will be displayed.
  • The new Balance Due will be updated accordingly.
  • The Payment Status will remain “Balance Due” until the payment is completed.
  • You can send a payment link to the attendee to collect the amount due.

Changing a Paid Ticket to Another Paid Ticket

Sometimes, an attendee may wish to switch from one paid ticket to another. This process is now smoother:

  • The change in ticket type will be updated in the financial summary.
  • Any previous transactions related to the original ticket will remain visible.
  • The Balance Due will be adjusted based on the new ticket price.
  • If the new ticket is more expensive, the Balance Due will reflect the additional amount owed.
  • If the new ticket is cheaper, the financial summary will reflect an overpayment, and you will have the option to process a refund for the difference.
  • The Payment Status will be marked as “Balance Due” until payment is completed.

Assigning a Sold-Out Ticket After Undoing a Cancellation

If you undo a cancellation for an attendee who was previously registered for a ticket that is now sold out, the system will handle this automatically:

  • The total ticket limit will increase by 1 to accommodate the reinstated registration.
  • You will be informed that this ticket type was sold out and that the limit has been adjusted.
  • Only organizers can assign a sold-out ticket, while general users cannot register for a ticket that has reached its limit.

With these enhancements, managing ticket registrations and payments is now more efficient, ensuring a smoother experience for both organizers and attendees!

Exhibitors AI Recommendations on Mobile

Exhibitors AI Recommendations carousel is now live on the Mobile App! This new addition will enhance your experience and make it easier for you to connect with the right exhibitors at events.

The carousels will appear on your exhibitor page, making it easy for you to browse through the recommended exhibitors and their profiles.

New Email Check-In Option for SwapAccess: Streamlining Event Attendee Management

Ensuring a smooth and efficient check-in process is key for any event. With SwapAccess, attendees can now check in using their email address, and not only QR code, or confirmation number—providing flexibility and convenience.

Enable Email Check-In with Ease

A new setting in Studio → SwapAccess Settings allows event organizers to enable email-based check-ins, offering attendees the option to check in using their registered email if they do not have their badge available.

Organizer Control in Studio

  • Event organizers have full control over this feature and can enable or disable it based on event requirements.
  • Once activated in Studio, attendees can check in by providing the email address they used during registration.
  • The system verifies the email against event records, ensuring a seamless check-in process for valid matches.

Device-Level Management in the SwapAccess App

  • To enhance flexibility, an additional setting in the SwapAccess app allows users to disable email check-in on a per-device basis.
  • This means that while Studio settings control the overall availability of email check-in, individual devices can opt out if necessary.
  • If Studio settings disable email check-in, it will be unavailable on all devices, regardless of device-level settings.

How Attendees Check In Using Email

  1. Open the SwapAccess app.
  2. Navigate to the Check-in section.
  3. If Email Check-in is enabled:

    • An input field for an email address appears.
    • The attendee enters their registered email address.
    • The system verifies the email and, if matched, successfully checks in the attendee.
    • If no match is found, an error message appears.
  4. If Email Check-in is not enabled:

    • The email input option is hidden.
    • Alternative check-in methods—QR code or confirmation number—are displayed.

Benefits of using Email Check-In

  • Faster check-in: No need to search for confirmation emails or QR codes.
  • Flexible options: Attendees can choose the check-in method that suits them best.
  • Organizer control: Fine-tune settings at the Studio and device levels.
  • Practical alternative: Ideal for situations where badges are unavailable.

By enabling email check-in, event organizers can provide attendees with a frictionless entry experience, ensuring that the check-in process remains smooth and adaptable to various event needs.

Effortless Access to Event Pages

When users visit the main page of an event—whether it's Home, Notifications, Messages, or Me—the navigation menu is always at their fingertips via the burger menu icon.

With a single tap, the menu slides out from the left, offering a clear and organized display of pages and group pages associated with the selected event.

Users can interact with the menu in multiple ways:

  • Page Navigation: Clicking on any specific page takes the user directly to the content they need, with the menu closing automatically to maximize screen space.
  • Group Page Management: Group pages are expandable and collapsible. When expanded, users can see all nested pages; when collapsed, the display is streamlined for simplicity.
