FooEvents Custom Attendee Fields

FooEvents Custom Attendee Fields – Custom Event Registration Data Plugin (GPL Licensed)

FooEvents Custom Attendee Fields is a WooCommerce and FooEvents extension that helps event organizers collect additional information from attendees during the ticket purchase or registration process.

Standard checkout fields may not always provide enough information for a specific event. This extension allows you to add additional attendee data requirements so organizers can gather information relevant to their particular event, class, conference, workshop, training program, or other scheduled activity.

Depending on your event requirements, additional registration information can help with attendee preparation, event planning, customer communication, and on-site management.

📖 Detailed Overview

Different events require different attendee information. A conference may need company or job information, while a workshop could require participant preferences or special requirements. A training program may need additional participant details that are not normally included in a standard WooCommerce checkout.

FooEvents Custom Attendee Fields provides a way to extend the registration process so organizers can request additional information that is relevant to their event.

Instead of collecting extra details through separate emails, spreadsheets, or manual forms, organizers can incorporate additional data collection into the registration workflow supported by their WooCommerce and FooEvents setup.

Examples of Attendee Information

Depending on your configuration and applicable data-protection requirements, you may use custom fields for information such as:

Company or organization details
Participant preferences
Dietary requirements
Special event requirements
Emergency contact information
Participant questions
Course or workshop-related information

Other event-specific registration data

The exact field types and available functionality depend on the plugin version and configuration.
