The “Products” section will be updated automatically when the Events app is installed and/or upgraded.
Out of the box, you can create a Product, provide a description, define the sales start and end dates, and track the quantity sold. In addition to the items just described, we also provide the features covered below.
Event Page Layout
The section “Products” was added to the Event page layout. The Products section will include the following fields: Item Name, Attendee, Attendee Full Name, Event, and Unit Price.
Attendee Record
There are multiple fields on the Attendee record that determine what is included on the Attendee Form during checkout. This is where you can hide fields, make them required, or show them as optional. The “Line Item” Related List should be visible on the Attendee record.
Update Picklist Values
Depending on your use case, set each field's picklist value to either required, optional, or hidden.

Order Min & Max Quantity
Set the minimum and the maximum number of Products (Event Items) allowed per order by updating the Minimum Quantity and Maximum Quantity fields on the Event Item record. The Maximum Quantity cannot be larger than "10" per the Salesforce Validation Rule.
Define the Min and Max Quantity on the Event Item
- Edit the Event Item page layout and add the Minimum Quantity and Maximum Quantity fields to the page layout.
- Go to the Event Item record and update the Minimum Quantity and Maximum Quantity fields.
Save and View Changes
- Navigate back to your Event record.

New Fields
As the Products feature grows, new fields and functionality will be added. This section will provide information about each one as it is added.
Event Item Type
- Location: Line Item object
- Purpose: a text formula field that shows the type of Event Item
Purchased Products
- Location: Attendee object
- Purpose: a checkbox field that shows whether an Attendee purchased a Product
The new Purchased Products field on the Attendee object needs to be added manually as it is not added by default to the page layout.

Checkout Process
