Associate Event Contributor API Call

  • The associate event contributor call is extremely useful in regards to grouping together contributors into households. Contributors who purchase multiple tickets to an event should be associated together as a best practice. This greatly improves the registration process and opens up features that stremline the process such as updating guest names, express check-in, and sharing bidder numbers for the auction.
  • Contributors who are associated may share a bidder number if desired. Best practice is to assume they will be sharing a bidder number if they are part of a household (i.e. husband and wife, or same sex partners). However associated contributors can also be part of larger groups such as when a company purchases a sponsorship with 10 admissions. In this case, it shoudl be assumed that contributors in the association would each want thier own bidder number.
