FAQ:
How do people become members?
For every event you add to Withfriends, any ticketbuyer of that event will get a chance to become a member in three ways:
The ticketbuyer will be redirected to a beautiful upsell splash page immediately after completing checkout.
The ticketbuyer will get an upsell email that allows them to know about memberships and become a member with a special link. If there's a rebate, it will have special langauge around that opportunity. They will only receive this mail if they are not a member. It will happen at every purchase.
Ticketbuyers will receive a link to your membership page on the Eventbrite ticket receipt, and the confirmation mail from Eventbrite.
Finally, they can become members directly by visiting your membership page. Your membership page can be found here: withfriends.co/YOUR_ORGANIZATION/join
How do discounts work?
We automate the discounts. Members have access to discounted tickets, based on their membership level, automatically for every event you add to Withfriends. They simply need to initiate their purchase from your Withfriends page when signed into Withfriends as a member.
How do rebates work?
We apply member discount immediately on the ticket purchase, as an attraction to becoming a member now. We apply this automatically as credit on their membership payments.
How many events should I add?
If you don't add a specific event to Withfriends, then nothing will happen for ticketbuyers of that event on Eventbrite. To enable memberships for an event, you will need to add each event to Withfriends (it's one click per event.). If you'd like to turn Withfriends on for all of your events, reach out at support@withfriends.co or via the chat bubble.
Where do I update my events with new info?
If you update an event on Eventbrite, the changes in the title, description, and cover image will reflect itself on Withfriends within 3 hours.
Pro-Tip: You can exclude discounts from specific tiers when you need to, by going to the discount & promo code management area on Eventbrite for the event you manage. Look for "multi-event discount codes", and you'll see codes that are named withfriends and have the names of your membership tiers as part of them. Simply uncheck the tiers for which discounts do not apply!
