Apply Extra Charges or Additional Fees to Events in WordPress

Overview

The Additional Fee feature in EventPrime allows you to add extra charges per ticket. It’s useful for optional add-ons like meals, T-shirts, or any custom service. The fee is applied per ticket and shown clearly during the checkout process.

Steps to Add Additional Fees to a Ticket in EventPrime

1. Navigate to the EventPrime menu and select the All Events submenu.

2. In the list of Events, click the Edit button for the Event where you want to apply Additional Fee.

3. On the Edit Event page, go to Event Settings and click on the Tickets tab.

4. In the Tickets section, either click the Add New Ticket Type button to create a ticket or click Edit button to update an existing one.

5. In the Edit Ticket form, click the Add Additional Fee button. Two fields will appear:

• In the Label field, enter the name of the fee (e.g., Meal, Beverage, T-shirt).

Click the Save Changes to apply the Additional Fee to that ticket type.

5. Update the Event to apply this setting.

On the Event Booking page, users will see the Additional Fee displayed under the ticket name. It’s automatically added to the subtotal and displayed in the final total amount during checkout.

Conclusion

Adding an Additional Fee with EventPrime enables you to include costs for extra items or services—like meals or merchandise. This lets you offer more options to attendees while keeping all charges transparent during checkout.
