✨ Please note: Ticket transfers are only available on the Lite plan or above.
You can restrict how far into the future a customer can transfer a ticket and whether multiple transfers are allowed for the same ticket.

How to add transfer restrictions
To add your restrictions, open Settings from the left-hand menu, then Booking Preferences:
Select Edit in the Cancellation section, then tick the Allow ticket date transfers checkbox to view and amend your transfer settings:
Transfers allowed until
This is the period that your customers can transfer in before the start date and time of the booked ticket. You can set this as minutes, hours, days, weeks or months.
Restrict transfer window to
This setting controls how far into the future customers can transfer a ticket from the event's start date to a new date. You can choose to set this in minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months.
An additional box to the right also appears to select the time of day for days, weeks or months. Either box can be left blank to apply no restriction.
This setting starts counting from the date the booking was made, not from the event date of the original ticket that was booked.
Restrict to one transfer per ticket
Tick this checkbox to restrict your customers to only being able to transfer their tickets once. Leaving this unticked means customers can then transfer their tickets multiple times.
Allow transfers to different events or ticket types
Tick this checkbox to allow customers to transfer their tickets to another event or ticket on your schedule from the originally booked ticket.
Transfer restriction notes
You (the admin):
Can transfer discounted tickets without restrictions.
Please note: The discount will be lost in this process, so the booking status will always show as "owed" with the discount difference. Meaning discount rules applied to bookings can be broken by you (an admin), and they won't return even if you transfer the ticket back to the original date/time.
Can transfer single tickets to other single tickets, regardless of cost.
Cannot cancel a single-date attendance on a course due to course tickets grouping all dates under 'one' ticket. Below is a workaround
Customers:
Can only transfer discounted tickets to other tickets with the same discount.
Can only transfer tickets to the same value as their existing ticket (or cheaper).
Cannot transfer discounted tickets when the discount applied has been unpublished or deleted/recreated. You (the admin) can still complete the transfer.
Cannot transfer exclusive tickets. Only you (the admin) can.
💡 Please note:
Ticket transfers are only possible to events on the same schedule page.
Ticket transfers may be restricted when the new event ticket is no longer available.
On both occasions, we recommend cancelling and rebooking.
When a customer cannot attend a date on a course
There may be occasions when a customer cannot attend a date on a course ticket that they've purchased. Depending on your settings, you may wish to open up a space for another customer to join.
👉 As course tickets aren't flexible, meaning all dates are grouped together and cannot be managed separately, you can manually adjust the capacity for the singular date the original customer couldn't attend.
💡Important note: You'll need to keep the 'cancelled' attendance as an active booking (and don't cancel it), as it will cancel their attendance on each date on the course.
To do this, select the course date from your schedule. There are two ways to do this:
1. Expand the course so that all of the dates appear in your schedule list:
Select the date you'd like to amend, then the drop-down menu next to Edit entry. From here, select Event specific information:
Or if it's an online course, it's Add online joining details:
From here, you can manually adjust the event capacity for this singular date:
The result:
2. Alternatively, select the course entry from your schedule list, then the attendee button 👨👩👧👦 next to the date you'd like to amend:
Select the Options drop-down menu, then Event specific information (or Add online joining details if it's an online course):
From here, you can manually adjust the event capacity for this singular date:
This will open up a space for the event and allow an additional customer to purchase a ticket for the singular date.
💡 Please ensure you have a drop-in ticket alongside your course ticket so the additional customer can book on.
