Understanding Add-ons in Orders and Enabling 'Pay it Forward' Ticket Purchases

Last updated Jul 19, 2026

Question

What is the 'Add-ons' section in the Orders area of Dryfta, and can it be used to allow attendees to buy tickets for others (like a 'Pay it forward' option)?

Answer

The 'Add-ons' section under Orders in Dryfta refers to additional items that can be purchased alongside a main ticket, such as parking tickets, dinner passes, merchandise, or guest passes. These add-ons are linked to the primary ticket purchase and are not intended to function as standalone tickets for other individuals.

To enable a "Pay it forward" option where an attendee can purchase a ticket for someone else, it is recommended to create a dedicated ticket type specifically for that purpose. This ticket can be labeled accordingly (e.g., "Pay it forward ticket"), allowing buyers to purchase on behalf of others. During checkout, purchasers can enter the recipient's name and email or leave it to be assigned later, facilitating the transfer or use by the intended recipient.
