How to Add an Ampersand (&) in Your Event Title

Updated this week

If you’re trying to include an ampersand (&) in your Evey event title (for example, “Wine & Cheese Night”) and notice it doesn’t display correctly inside Evey, don’t worry - there’s a simple workaround!


Why This Happens

Evey automatically syncs event names from your Shopify product titles.
Sometimes, special characters like the ampersand (&) don’t save properly when entered directly through Evey’s Event Settings page.

You might also notice that your title displays as “Wine & Cheese Night” inside Evey or Shopify.
This happens because Shopify automatically converts special characters (like &) into their HTML-safe format (&) to prevent code errors.


The Workaround

You can safely add the ampersand (&) by editing the product title directly in Shopify.

Step-by-Step:

  1. Open your Evey Dashboard.

  2. Find your event in the list (e.g., Wine & Cheese Night).

  3. Click More -> Open in Shopify admin,

  4. In Shopify, update the Product Title to include the ampersand symbol (for example: Wine & Cheese Night).

  5. Click Save in Shopify.

  6. Return to your Evey Dashboard and refresh the event list - your updated title will appear correctly.
