Set up hidden add-on events, publish them as Unlisted products, and configure dates, ticket quantities and capacity. Let customers choose their main event tickets, then add a workshop, meal, or extra experience before Shopify checkout. Each add-on is a **separate Ticket Spot event** with its own dates, tickets, and capacity. **Publish the main event and every add-on to Shopify.** For each add-on, enable **Event Details → Privacy → Hide Event from Event Listing** before publishing. This hides it from Ticket Spot listings and publishes its Shopify product as **Unlisted**, while keeping it available to purchase through the main event. Event Add-ons requires Business or higher. The main event's Shopify product must use the [Ticket Selector app block and its assigned product template](./shopify-ticket-selector#install-the-product-block). Follow that setup to hide competing purchase buttons so buyers go through the add-on step. ## 1. Create a separate, hidden event for each add-on 1. Create an event for the extra, such as **Festival Lunch Add-on**. Choose **Sell tickets** and give it a clear title and description; customers see these during add-on selection. 2. In **Event Details → Privacy**, enable **Hide Event from Event Listing**. Keep this on whenever you publish updates. 3. Set **Event Capacity** for the extra. Turn off **Unlimited attendee capacity** and enter the maximum number of places when availability is limited. 4. Set its dates, then create/save the event before editing its tickets. Add-on Event Details with Hide Event from Event Listing enabled and capacity set to six Use the event's privacy setting to hide it. **Hidden ticket** is a different option: it restricts access to that ticket and is not how you hide the add-on's Shopify product. ## 2. Set the first ticket's price and limits Open **Tickets** and edit the **first ticket** in the list. The add-on selector uses that ticket and its price; it does not offer a separate choice of every ticket type on the add-on event. If the event already has a **Standard** ticket, edit that ticket or put the intended ticket first. Set the price in **Pricing & Access**. Under **Sales & Capacity**, set **Ticket Capacity**, **Min Per Order**, and **Max Per Order**. Keep the ticket on sale for the booking period. Add-on ticket capacity six, minimum one and maximum two tickets per order The add-on keeps its own ticket and event capacity rules. For example, buying two main tickets does not automatically select two lunches: the customer chooses the lunch quantity separately. Availability can limit that quantity below **Max Per Order**. The quantity control appears only when more than one ticket is allowed. For different extras or prices that customers should choose separately, create separate add-on events. See [ticket setup](../event-management/ticket-setup) for ticket settings. ## 3. Choose one date or several dates | Add-on schedule | Set up in Dates & Times | | - | - | | One workshop or meal | Choose **One-Time Event** and set its start and end. | | A choice of dates | Choose **Specific Dates**, open **Manage dates & times**, and add each date. | | Repeating sessions or timed entry | Use **Recurring** or **Time-Based** and configure the bookable sessions. | For a series, attach the **parent add-on event** to the main event. Customers choose an available date or time during add-on selection. Check each date's capacity and availability before publishing; use [date-specific settings](../event-management/day-specific-tickets) where needed. Specific Dates setup for a workshop add-on with two dates and three places on each date ## 4. Publish every add-on to Shopify Click **Publish → Publish to Shopify** on each add-on event. Review the fulfillment location and publishing settings, and confirm publishing. Check that the event shows **Live** and **Shopify · Product linked**. With **Hide Event from Event Listing** enabled, Ticket Spot sets the linked product's Shopify status to **Unlisted**. A saved draft is not enough: Shopify needs the published product and ticket variants to add the extra to checkout. After changing dates, prices, or ticket inventory, publish the changes again. Unlisted products remain purchasable through a direct link, but are excluded from Shopify-powered collections, search, and product recommendations. Hiding a listing does not make it password-protected. See [Shopify's explanation of Unlisted products](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/details/product-details-page). ## 5. Attach the add-ons to your main event 1. Open the saved main event and choose **Event Add-ons**. 2. Turn on **Enable Add-ons**. 3. Set **Minimum Required** to **0** for optional extras, or a higher number to require a selection. Set **Maximum Allowed** to the most selections a customer can make. 4. Leave **Allow Time Conflicts** off to prevent overlapping add-on sessions. Turn it on only if overlapping selections make sense for your event. 5. Click **Add Event Add-on**, select the separate add-on event, and click **Add**. Repeat for each extra. 6. Check **Configured Add-ons**, then save and publish the main event. Use the drag handles to change the display order. Enabled add-on configuration with optional selections, a maximum of three, and two attached events The minimum and maximum count **selections**, not ticket quantities. Two places in one workshop selection count as one selection; choosing two workshop dates counts as two. Each selection still follows its first ticket's quantity limits and available capacity. ## 6. Check the customer flow Open the main event's Shopify product using its **Ticket Selector** template: 1. Choose the main ticket and quantity, then continue to the add-on step. 2. Select an extra. For a multi-date add-on, choose the date or time too. 3. Adjust each add-on's quantity and check the order summary. 4. Continue through attendee details, when enabled, to Shopify. Confirm that the main ticket **and every selected add-on** appear with the right dates, quantities, and prices before paying. Ticket Selector add-on step with a lunch extra and workshop date choices Selected lunch add-on with quantity two and the increase control disabled Shopify order summary showing the main admission, two lunches and one workshop place on each of two dates Test optional skipping, required selections, the maximum number of selections, overlapping times, and a date with limited places. Test on mobile too. A successful selection screen alone does not confirm a completed booking. ## Troubleshooting | Problem | What to check | | - | - | | Add-on appears as a separate listing | Enable **Hide Event from Event Listing** on the add-on and publish it again. Check the Shopify product is **Unlisted**. Attaching an add-on alone does not replace this step. | | Add-on is shown but missing from Shopify checkout | Publish the add-on and all intended dates to Shopify. Check the product connection, ticket mappings, and any **Out of sync** warning. | | Wrong price or ticket is used | Check the first ticket on the add-on event, its price and visibility, then publish the update. | | Buyer cannot select another extra | Check **Maximum Allowed** and whether its time overlaps an existing selection. | | Buyer cannot increase quantity | Check the first ticket's **Max Per Order**, remaining ticket inventory, and the add-on event/date capacity. | | No add-on step on the product page | Check **Enable Add-ons**, attached events, and the main product's saved Ticket Selector template assignment. | Pay What You Want on Shopify does not currently support add-ons.
