What are Products?
Exhibitor Products are what Exhibitors will be purchasing during the Exhibitor Application flow. Each product will have a name and price associated with it.
Products serve the same function as tickets do for attendees; they often offer some sort of redeemable function, such as providing booth area to select a booth. Each product will have a name and price associated with it. Products will appear in the Purchases step of the Exhibitor Application.
