Checkout Flow Custom Branding

Custom checkout branding helps create a seamless registration experience that feels consistent with your event website. This guide explains how to customize the Let's Do This checkout flow using your own branding.

Written by LDT

Overview

Checkout Flow Custom Branding is a major improvement to the participant experience, giving organizers much greater control over how their brand is represented from the moment someone starts registering through to the post-registration journey.

Previously, participants moved from an organizer’s own website into a checkout experience that still carried a strong Let’s Do This identity. With this update, the organizer’s brand can now extend much more naturally across the entire journey. This creates a more consistent, professional, and trusted experience for participants, helping the checkout feel like a continuation of the organizer’s own site rather than a handoff to a separate platform.

Organizers can now customize key visual elements of the checkout flow, including brand colors, logo placement, page styling, typeface, and other branded components.

These changes apply across the checkout flow and continue into the post-registration experience. This means that once a participant registers for one of your events, manages their entry, purchases an add-on, joins or manages a team, or completes other post-registration actions, they will remain within a branded experience that reflects your event and organization.


What Customization is possible

Checkout Flow Custom Branding allows organizers to apply their own brand identity across the registration and post-registration experience.

This includes:

  1. Customizing the checkout header color.

  2. Adding the organizer or event logo to the top-left of the checkout header.

  3. Setting a page tint or background color.

  4. Applying a primary brand color to key actions, such as buttons and calls to action.

  5. Selecting a font from a number of freely available preset typefaces.

  6. Reducing the prominence of Let’s Do This branding throughout the journey.

  7. Persisting the organizer’s branding into post-registration flows.

The result is a more seamless experience for participants and a stronger sense of brand ownership for organizers.


Where the Branding Appears

The custom branding is applied across the participant-facing registration journey, including:

  • The checkout flow.

  • Registration confirmation and related post-registration screens.

  • Manage registration flows.

  • Entry edit flows.

  • Team management flows.

  • Add-on purchase journeys.

  • Other post-registration actions linked to a specific event.

When a participant is interacting with a specific event, the system will use that event’s branding settings so the experience remains consistent.

In cases where we cannot confidently determine which event branding should apply, participants will see a neutral brand view. This may happen, for example, when a participant has multiple registrations in their account, is viewing a bundle, or is interacting with an area that is not tied to one specific event.


How to Set This Up

Branding can be configured when creating or managing an event.

In the Details step, go to Customize Appearance. This is where organizers can set the branding for checkout and supported post-registration flows.

Organizers can either:

  • Use an existing saved brand theme.

  • Create a custom theme for a specific event.

  • Save a new theme to the central brand theme library.

⚠️ Saved brand themes cannot be edited directly inside an event, as changes could affect other events using the same theme. If a theme needs to change across multiple events, it should be updated in the central brand theme section.

For event-specific branding, organizers can create a custom theme just for that event.

1. Header Color

This controls the color of the header area at the top of the checkout and supported post-registration flows.

Use this to match the organizer’s primary brand color or a key event campaign color.

2. Header Logo

Organisers can upload the an image or logo that appears in the top-left of the header.

This should usually be the organizer logo, event logo, or campaign logo that participants will recognize from the organizer’s own website and marketing materials.

3. Page Tint / Background Color

The page tint controls the background color used across the branded checkout experience. You can select between dark & light treatments.

This colour is also used for separation labels within the checkout flow, helping create a consistent visual style throughout the page.

4. Primary Color

The primary color is applied to key action areas, such as buttons, links, and other important calls to action.

This should be a color that stands out clearly against the background and is strongly associated with the organizer’s brand.

5. Font

⚠️ If an organizer needs an alternative font that is not included in the preset list, they should contact Let’s Do This so we can review the request.


Post-Registration Flows

The branding improvements also apply beyond checkout.

We have made a number of changes to the post-registration experience so that the branding is preserved when a participant interacts with an event after registration.

For example, when a participant views or edits their registration, manages a team, purchases an add-on, or completes another event-specific post-registration action, the branded experience will continue to apply.

This means the participant remains within the organizer’s branded environment throughout more of the lifecycle of their registration.

Changes to Manage Registration

As part of this update, we have also simplified the manage registration view.

The participant will no longer be able to access marketplace event discovery from within the manage registration experience to focus the user journey on the manage registration process. The Let’s Do This logo has also been removed from the main header area, while the participant profile section remains available.

This keeps the focus on the organizer’s event, managing their entry and enhances organiser branding during the post-registration journey.


Accessibility, Semantic Colors, and Neutral Brand View

While Checkout Flow Custom Branding gives organizers much greater control over the look and feel of the participant experience, some elements cannot be edited. This is intentional and helps us maintain accessibility, usability, and a consistent experience for all participants.

Elements That Cannot Be Edited

Some interface elements will remain controlled by Let’s Do This to ensure they meet accessibility standards and work reliably across all devices and user needs.

This may include elements such as:

  • System messages.

  • Error states.

  • Success states.

  • Informational banners.

  • Form validation messages.

  • Critical navigation and account controls.

  • Certain contrast-sensitive text, buttons, and labels.

These elements are protected so that participants can clearly understand what is happening, complete actions confidently, and recover from errors easily. This also helps ensure that the checkout and post-registration experience remains accessible for users with different visual, cognitive, or device needs.

Semantic Colors

We will continue to maintain standard semantic colors across key system messages and states, in line with recognized industry norms and accessibility best practice.

This means:

  • Green will continue to be used for confirmed, successful, or completed actions.

  • Orange will continue to be used for warning messages.

  • Red will continue to be used for errors, warnings, or actions requiring urgent attention.

  • Blue will continue to be used for informational messages, guidance, or neutral system notices.

Maintaining these semantic colors helps participants quickly understand important messages and system states, regardless of the organizer’s custom branding.

This approach balances brand flexibility with usability, clarity, and best-practice interface design. The experience can feel branded and tailored, while critical information remains easy to recognize and act on.

Neutral Brand View

There are some situations where we cannot determine which event’s branding should be shown. In these cases, participants will see a neutral brand view instead.

This may happen when:

  • A participant has multiple registrations in their account.

  • A participant is viewing a bundle.

  • The participant is in an area that is not clearly linked to one specific event.

  • The system cannot confidently identify the relevant event branding.

The neutral brand view ensures that participants still have a clean, consistent, and accessible experience, even when event-specific branding cannot be applied.
