Under data protection laws, you may need to collect consent to send email marketing. We’ve made it really easy to add an email marketing opt-in checkbox on your online box office.


How to set up an 'opt-in' for email marketing

  • Go to 'Box office settings' and click on 'Checkout form'.

  • Click the 'Add a question' button.

  • Select 'Buyer only' when prompted, then select 'Opt in to receive marketing emails' from the drop-down.

  • Customise the text under 'What question do you want to ask?' and click 'Save custom question'.

    A screenshot of the 'Buyer only Question' form with an example of the question and responses needed to get consent from customers.
  • Your customers will now be prompted with an opt-in checkbox when registering for an event. This data will now be stored with the order and available in your order exports.

How to set up an opt-in with our MailChimp integration

  • If you're connecting your MailChimp account with Ticket Tailor you can specify to only synchronise the email addresses of those who have opted in.

  • Go to 'Box office settings' and click on 'Connect apps'.

  • Click on 'MailChimp'.

  • You should see a drop-down entitled 'Require customers to give their consent'. Select 'Yes'.

  • Click 'Save'.
