Customizing and Managing Ticket Receipts in ClickBid

Every guest who purchases a ticket through your ClickBid event site will automatically receive an email receipt confirming their transaction. This article outlines how receipts are sent, customized, and used for check-in.

📨 Who Gets the Ticket Confirmation Email?

The Ticket Purchase Confirmation Email is automatically sent to:

  • The guest who made the purchase

    • The Event Support Contact
      (when listed in Software Settings > Event Settings > Event Support Contact, and selected in Event Tickets > Ticket Page Settings > General Settings > Receipt Email Address)

    🖼️ Ticket Receipt Formats Available

    ClickBid offers several ticket receipt variations depending on your configuration:

    • No FMV (Fair Market Value)

    • With FMV

    • With QR Code

    FMV should be included for tickets that provide goods/services (like meals or swag) to help guests with tax reporting.

    1. Go to Event Tickets > Ticket Page Settings > Customizable Content

    2. Edit the Receipt Header field

      Customize Receipt Header

    Use this space to include parking info, dress code, or day-of contact details.

    ➕ Edit contact info at the bottom:

    ⚠️ Don’t Change Ticket Names After Purchase!

    Once a guest purchases a ticket, sponsorship, or underwriting item:

    🚫 Do NOT rename that item.

    Doing so will:

    • ❌ Break reporting connections

    • ❌ Disable the “Resend Guest Link” feature

    • ❌ Lead to missing or inaccurate ticket data

    Double-check your item names before publishing your ticketing page to avoid long-term reporting issues.


    ✅ You’re All Set!

    Now your receipts are customized, functional, and ready to support a smooth check-in experience for your event.
