There are certain questions we get asked a lot, so we’ve put them together in a few handy blog posts that will hopefully assist you as you explore the wonderful world of the SquadUP experience.
This post provides some basic information about promoting your event, inviting people to it, and selling tickets with our in-app ticketing service. For questions on other topics, have a peruse of our other FAQ posts: Money Matters and My SquadUP.
FAQs: PROMOTION, INVITES, & TICKETING
We will promote your events within reason via social media. We offer additional promotion to our network as a paid service. Contact sam@squadup.com for more info on that.
You can use tracking links to track page views, unique views, ticket sales ($), and ticket sales (quantity).
There are two great ways to take advantage of tracking links:
a. You can use the tracking links to track the success of marketing campaigns of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email, etc.
b. You can also use the tracking links to track the success of promoters for your event.
You can also attach promo codes to tracking links, which will be automatically applied when the link is opened.

Ticket(s) are also attached to the confirmation email guests receive after purchasing the ticket. You can show the ticket either on your phone or you can print it out. (If you can’t find the email, search your inbox for “SquadUP.”)

After adding a paid ticket in step 2, you can add a promo code by pressing the "+ Promo Code” button. Promo codes can be $ off or % off. You get to choose how many times (overall) a promo code can be used.

Custom order form questions are questions that guests must answer on the checkout page. You have many different options to choose from when it comes to form questions.
Form questions can be per order (if your guest purchases 10 tickets, they get asked this question once), per ticket (if your guest purchases 10 different tickets, they get asked this question 10 times), or per specific ticket (if your guest purchases 10 of the same tickets, they get asked this question 10 times).
In terms of question type, the question can be a text field (your guest can enter in any answer to your question), dropdown (your guest will choose one response from the answers you provide, or choose other as an answer), or checkbox (your guest will choose from the checkbox answers you provide).
You can also decide whether the question should be required, or whether to display the answer on the attending list.
Tags make your event more searchable, so they are definitely a benefit! Enter a few tags to make your event easier to find.
