What are Product Affiliations and Product Requirements?

The Product Affiliation and Product Requirements are two settings for booth selection in the Event Dashboard. Product Affiliations will automatically add products to the exhibitor’s cart when the booth is selected. Other products not listed under the Product Affiliations will not be displayed.

Product Requirements enforce the purchase of any included products under this field. If an exhibitor reserves a booth but does not purchase the required product(s), they will receive an error message. If multiple products are listed, exhibitors will only need to purchase at least one of the listed products. Exhibitors do not need to have all products at checkout to reserve the booth.

How to Configure Product Affiliations and Requirements

1. From the Event Dashboard, navigate to Exhibitors > Booths
2. Select the Booth you wish to adjust from the list
3. Under the Product Affiliation field, enter any products that will be assigned to the exhibitor if this booth is selected
4. Please note, this field is only relevant if Show Booth Selection Before Product Purchase is enabled.
5. Under the Product Requirement field, enter any products the exhibitor must checkout with upon selecting the booth
6. Exhibitors will be unable to complete checkout unless they purchase both the required product and the booth simultaneously.
7. Select Save Changes

Conclusion

Product Affiliations and Product Requirements are powerful tools for managing booth selection and product purchases in the Exhibitor Application. By automating product assignments and enforcing required purchases, Event Administrators can ensure a consistent and efficient checkout experience for exhibitors. Proper configuration of these settings helps maintain control over product visibility and guarantees that key offerings are included with each booth reservation.
