Host a free event and create free tickets to an event

Create a $0 / free ticket

To create your event form, go to campaigns and click on "+ New campaign" in the top right (and select event). If you already have an event, click on edit to the right of your existing form.

Go into the "tickets" section of your form to customize your ticket rates and set their price. 

Note that the ticket price cannot be left blank. To create a $0 ticket, you must enter "0" in the price section when creating your event ticket. 

Does my bank account need to be connected to host a free event? 

No. If you do not plan to accept any payments at all in Zeffy, you do not need to connect your bank account. 

However, if you wish to be able to send emails through the platform, you will have to link your bank account and verify your email address, even if the event is free. It is not possible to use the emailing tool without completing these steps. 

How can I have a free ticket, but allow buyers to leave a donation if they wish? 

You can enable the additional donation option on your form to receive donations. Donors can enter a custom amount in addition to their free ticket selection if they wish to support your nonprofit. 

To enable the option to add additional donations, go to the "Additional donation" section of your form editor. Below the ticket types you've created, you'll see a checkbox to enable donations:
