Use a direct checkout link when you want to send someone straight into checkout for one specific ticket, add-on or donation. This is useful for private offers, targeted campaigns, hidden checkout items or custom landing pages where you do not want visitors to choose from every available option.
Create a direct checkout link
Go to Ticketing & Payments > Tickets, Add-ons & Donations.
Open the Tickets, Add-ons or Donations tab.
Open the action menu beside the item and select Generate Checkout Link.
Select Copy Link.
Add a coupon or session to the link
For ticket checkout links, the drawer can include two optional settings:
Include an optional coupon: choose an active coupon that is valid for that ticket. The coupon is applied automatically when someone uses the link.
Register for an optional session: choose an eligible upcoming session. After checkout, HeySummit adds that session to the attendee's schedule.
Why a session may not appear
HeySummit offers active, eligible sessions that the ticket can access, normally from the upcoming schedule. Sessions that started within the last hour can also be offered. A session may not appear if it is inactive, cancelled, too far in the past, an agenda item, unavailable under the ticket’s restrictions, or does not match its live, replay or in-person access.
What attendees see
When an attendee uses the link, HeySummit selects the linked item for checkout. It can replace previous selections in that product category and can replace a previously saved cart when the attendee is identified; do not rely on it to preserve a previous selection. The attendee may still be taken through required steps such as venue selection, session selection, add-ons, donations, payment or order completion. If the link includes a session, that session is carried through checkout and added to the attendee's schedule after the order succeeds.
If a session is included and HeySummit recognises an already registered attendee whose existing access allows that session, the link can add the session to their schedule and open their attendee account without a new purchase. Capacity and other session-registration checks still apply.
Normal checkout rules still apply
The item must be active and not sold out. One-ticket-per-attendee limits, email restrictions and ticket restrictions are still enforced. A hidden ticket, add-on or donation can still be purchased through its direct link as long as it is active and otherwise available.
