Default & required fields
You’re here because…
some answers are mandatory, and some should come pre-filled to save the buyer time.
Two settings on each field control how strictly it behaves and how much typing it saves.
Required fields
Mark a field required and the attendee can’t complete checkout without answering it. Use it for anything you truly must have at the door — a full name, a consent checkbox, an emergency contact — and leave optional extras un-required so they don’t block a sale.
Default values
Give a field a default value to pre-fill the most common answer. The buyer can change it, but a sensible default speeds up checkout — especially for group bookings where most attendees share the same answer.
Balance friction and data: every required field is one more thing between the buyer and “pay”. Require what you’ll actually use; make the rest optional.
