How do I gather extra visitor details with additional questions?

Gather more visitor information with additional questions

WeTicket keeps checkout simple and fast by only asking for the essentials: first name, last name and email address.

Through the checkout settings, you can enable default questions across all your ticket shops, such as phone number, postal code, date of birth, gender, house rules and email marketing opt-in.

Accessing Additional Question Responses

WeTicket exports are always downloaded as CSV files. CSV stands for comma separated values and is a standard format for exporting data so spreadsheet programs can easily open it.

  1. Open the CSV File:

    • Use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or another compatible application to open the downloaded CSV file.

  2. Locate Custom Question Columns:

    • In the spreadsheet, look for columns corresponding to your custom questions. These columns will contain the responses provided by attendees.

💡 Note: If the data doesn’t display correctly upon opening the CSV file, you might need to adjust the settings in your spreadsheet program to ensure proper formatting.
