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 only offers sessions that the selected ticket can access. A session may not appear if it is inactive, cancelled, has already passed, is marked as an agenda item, is unavailable to that ticket or does not match the ticket's live, replay or in-person access.
What attendees see
When an attendee uses the link, HeySummit focuses checkout on the linked item and clears other cart items. 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.
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.
Choose another registration path
