Real-time Tax calculation

The problem currently is the sheer volume of tax rates and types and rules around what someone needs to register for and when, around the world. The location of the business and the customer change tax obligations, so the current “flat rate tax” just doesn’t cut it for a virtual event, unless someone was restricting audience to a single jurisidication. Would love to see custom/real-time tax calculation, the type of thing payment platforms like Stripe Tax, Lemon Squeezy, Thrivecart and Quaderno help solve. I love the HeySummit checkout and want to avoid needing an expensive third party tool, or using another checkout provider. Ideas for potential solutions below! Option 1: Integrate with Stripe Tax I’ve requested this before here: https://feedback.heysummit.com/p/integrate-with-stripe-tax I still think this would be a great solution. I posted this originally before the PayPal integration, so my thought was this be an easy win to make custom tax calculation optional at the Stripe account level, and still capture all sales. Obviously it might not be as bullet-proof for people who are now using multiple payment providers. More and more businesses seem to be using Stripe Tax so I still think it’d be a great option to have if it’s easy to build; but obviously wouldn’t help people who use other payment providers. Option 2: Build a native HeySummit tax calcuation. Thrivecart does this quite well and is a good reference, but does require some level of setup. Quaderno is the best example of this, not sure if it’s practical to build something in like that but that seems to be the gold standard for this type of thing. Thanks so much for considering this one team, I know this is a big one, but it’s something that’s only getting more important and complex for event producers and business owners, not less.

Additional Theme Color/Style Options -Feature update

What’s not working as expected: The current built‑in theme options lean heavily toward darker, more corporate color palettes. While I can manually customize the colors, it takes time and doesn’t always produce the cohesive, polished look that a built‑in theme would. What I expected / what I’m requesting: I’d love to have a couple of additional built‑in theme styles added, specifically: A pastel, colorful theme A bright, colorful theme (non‑pastel) My audience is primarily creative, crafty people, so these lighter, more playful palettes would fit the vibe of my events much better. It would also save me a lot of time since I currently have to manually adjust colors for every new summit. Screenshots / recording: I can provide screenshots or a short screen recording of the current theme options if that helps.

More options in landing page "Hero Header"

You guys are shipping like the most amazing maniacs out there! I’ve never seen such a responsive team. You guys continue to blow my mind! So, here’s the next item on the wishlist — the hero header. Currently we’ve got a couple of design options. Would love for it to be a bit more modular, so we can turn things on and off, move components around. Or have a few different standard designs to work with. I’ve mocked up some very rough examples, but the main point is: A full section hero would be a nice option for a coming soon page especially. A customisable image/text slider underneath would be a nice bonus add (even a great landing page component overall? Being able to add a standalone video embed one one side. Or move things like timers and text and banners into different spots. One thing to note, being able to upload a background graphic and adjust opacity on one side is really nice, great for adding a gradient for example, so stil lbeing able to do that but then add a video or move components would be awesome. Don’t want to lose that ability to add a background image. The current version works, and still is a good option, but more options would be really handy and ideally something that feels like it’s a quick common-layout preset would help too so there’s not too much second guessing. How you guys already do that with pre-built components is great, so don’t want to lose that - just keen more more layout options!

Link another HeySummit event as an Add-on with ticket discounting

What I want: I would like the ability to select a completely separate HeySummit event from my dashboard and link it as an Attendee Add-on during checkout. Specifically, when creating an add-on under Revenue > Add-Ons, there should be an option to select "Link an Existing Event" rather than just uploading a digital file or text. Along with this, I need the option to set a unique, discounted ticket price for this second event only when it is purchased as a bundle (e.g., if Event B normally costs $99, attendees can add it to their Event A checkout for $49). Once purchased, the system should automatically register the attendee for both events so they receive their login details seamlessly. Why it’s useful for my event: I host sequential workshops and recurring summits throughout the year. Right now, if an attendee finishes registering for my current event and wants to sign up for my next upcoming event, they have to go through an entirely separate, multi-step checkout process all over again. Being able to offer the next event as a discounted add-on right at checkout would drastically increase my average order value (AOV) and capture impulse buys when attendee excitement is at its highest. It removes all friction from my customer journey. How other organisers could benefit too: This feature would be a massive win for the entire HeySummit community for a few key reasons: Ecosystem Building: Organizers who run niche, frequent events (like monthly masterclasses or a Spring/Fall summit series) can easily cross-promote their catalog and keep attendees inside their loop. Higher Revenue Per Attendee: It introduces a powerful upselling mechanism that directly boosts ticket revenue for any organizer running more than one event. (and for HeySummit Transaction revenue) Better Partnership Opportunities: Organizers could even collaborate to bundle each other’s events as add-ons, opening up brand new co-marketing strategies across different HeySummit accounts. (maybe down the line, there could be an option to open it to the community)

Improve "Media Assets" on Speaker Dashboard

This is a bit clunky/limited at the moment. I can see that we can add in custom individual promo material for each speaker, that’s great. However it’s going to be time consuming. Easiest fix: I think this is the easiest - could we somehow add a button and some text that could link to our own cloud storage folder? This way, we could maintain a folder of assets for each speaker, and just add the link in here. I think this might even be my preferred option over the more complex idea below! Other Option: Just mentioning this because I do like the idea of showing all the promo media on their dashboard - it’d help if we can better categorise and organise individual speaker graphics in folders (when uploading) and if we could batch upload assets for each speaker in one go. I’d also love to see file names preserved better so speakers can clearly see sizes related to what social media platform it’s for.

Improve "Submit a Talk" Customisation

I love this feature but it’s currently a bit limited. Some ideas to help take it ot the next level. 1. The “you’re in good company” section looks bad pre-launch: Looks amateur pre-launch with no content showing (also looks bad on the confirmation page after submission). Would be great to be able to hide it, or customise it. Would love to hide/show this, or be able to customise it perhaps add our own image and change text. 2. Extra CTA doesn’t make sense: They need to focus on submitting a talk, not booking a place. Should be able to remove this. 3. More Customisation for page design Would love to include more information for a speaker and use this as our primary intake form. Dream scenario: make it an editable page, or make the form a block that can be easily added to a separate page. If not, I’d love to be able to add a video to this page, and some custom text explaining the purpose and process. 4. Customise or Hide/Show questions I appreciate you can’t give full form customisation, you want the forms to lineup to the speaker. The beautiful part about this is getting infromation pre-filled. To help with customisation though, more control over what questions are shown or hidden could help. I’d ideally love to be able to hide some of the non-compulsary fields, and perhaps add in some custom fields of our own so we can collect additional information more easily. Addiitonal radio buttons or checkboxes and additional longtext would be easy adds. Even a few would help! 5. Option for host to receive email when submission is received. I noticed I didn’t get an email when testing out a talk submission. Adding this would be a huge help - maybe it can be toggled on/off like other email settings? 6. Confirmation page needs to be customisable too Again the same issues, the extra CTA to sign-up for the ticket should be siwtchable. I’d love to put some custom text, or a video here too. Explaining what happens next. And that “content not set” box is back.

Add an editable newsletter/sponsor opt-in checkbox to the registration form

What you want the feature to do: Give organizers the ability to add a custom, optional checkbox to the event registration/sign-up form. Editable Text: The organizer must be able to edit the exact language of the prompt (e.g., "Yes, sign me up for the event mailing list" or "I agree to receive updates from the website sponsoring this event"). Reporting: Add a dedicated column to the attendee export report that clearly shows whether each registrant checked the box (Yes/No) so organizers can easily filter and segment their marketing lists. Why it would help your event experience: Currently, without a distinct, editable opt-in checkbox, it is difficult to legally separate people who just want their event tickets from people who explicitly want to join our main newsletter or sponsor's mailing list. Having this as a clear toggle on the form—and tracked neatly in a report column—ensures data compliance and saves me from having to guess or manually survey attendees later. How other organizers could benefit too: Virtually every event organizer and event sponsor relies on summits to grow their email lists. Providing an editable opt-in checkbox keeps events compliant with global privacy laws (like GDPR and CAN-SPAM) while giving sponsors and hosts a transparent, measurable way to track lead generation directly from their registration reports. side note it would good practice to include a note stating we are sharing their email information with the speakers as well.

Show full URL examples with highlighted IDs instead of "Contact Help"

What you want the feature to do: Update the helper text or tooltip on video input fields to show a visual example of a full browser URL, with the specific required Video ID or Code clearly highlighted. Instead of directing users to a help center article or support button when they get confused, show them exactly what to copy right on the page. YouTube Example: Show [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=)dQw4w9WgXcQ (with the 11-character ID bolded/highlighted). Vimeo Example: Show [https://vimeo.com/](https://vimeo.com/)123456789 (with the digits bolded/highlighted). Why it would help your event experience: When people paste the whole URL into a field that only wants the ID, it's usually because the UI doesn't make it clear what an "ID" actually looks like. Telling them to contact help or read a guide is unnecessary friction for a simple fix. Showing the full URL and highlighting the exact piece they need allows them to fix it themselves instantly, saving everyone time and avoiding minor formatting annoyances. How other organizers could benefit too: This greatly improves the self-service usability of the platform for both organizers and speakers. It reduces the number of simple formatting mistakes across all events and prevents users from abandoning the page to submit support tickets for something that can be explained in a single visual example.

Allow Speakers to Input Their Own Main Talk Broadcast Info

What you want the feature to do: Add a feature to the speaker dashboard that allows speakers to input and manage their own Main Talk Broadcast Info (such as pre-recorded video details, live stream links, or custom live room configurations). This could be implemented either as a full "Broadcast" tab similar to what organizers see on the backend, or as a dynamic field trigger that asks them to enter just their specific video hosting information once a talk is created as a pre-recorded video. Why it would help your event experience: Speakers can already add their own media attachments and intro videos, so adding their main talk broadcast info would be a natural extension of their current dashboard capabilities. Right now, because this isn't an available feature, it creates an unnecessary data-entry bottleneck where I have to manually collect and copy-paste the main talk broadcast info or live room links for every single speaker on my track. Giving speakers the autonomy to input this directly would save a massive amount of administrative time. How other organizers could benefit too: This feature would benefit any HeySummit organizer looking to reduce their administrative workload. It streamlines the event preparation phase by safely delegating the main talk broadcast info setup to the speakers themselves—using a dashboard workflow they are already familiar with from uploading their bios and intro videos.

Allow speakers to view and claim unassigned "Draft Talks"

What you want the feature to do: Allow event organizers to make unassigned "Draft Talks" visible to invited speakers. Speakers should be able to log into their dashboard, browse the available pre-scheduled drafts (which already have specific dates, times, and broadcast types set by the organizer), and claim the slot(s) they want self-service. Why it would help your event experience: My event features multiple session formats for speakers (e.g., a Pre-Recorded Main Talk, a Live VIP slot, and a Q&A slot). Currently, letting speakers choose their own times via rolling schedules breaks my custom event timeline and ignores planned breaks. Pre-creating Draft Talks protects my schedule, but having to manually assign speakers to every single slot creates a massive administrative bottleneck. Letting them claim the drafts themselves removes me as the middleman. How other organizers could benefit too: Any organizer running a multi-day summit with rigid time blocks, panels, or lunch breaks would benefit. It gives organizers 100% control over the event structure while still giving speakers the autonomy to choose the exact time slots and session tiers that work best for them.

Certificate options

I’m going to be releasing a bunch of e-courses this Summer and was wondering if we could have the option of our own ready made certificate given once all the video lessons have been watched instead of the Heysummit one. This would be like a completion award PDF they can download. My courses are all for fun and creativity and I’d like to give attendees a colorful and less formal certificate of completion they may like to print and frame. The heysummit tracking is still useful because I only want them to get it if they do the lessons and complete the course so it would essentially unlock this PDF in place of the other. If this isn’t an option, would it be possible to have a bonus lesson unlocked or not viewable until they’ve completed them all and I can add it as a piece of media to that lesson?

Chat box

Would it be possible to add a pop up before attendees can participate in the chat box during a session? This would be to put a brief mention once again of the terms- something like, “Gentle reminder for use of this chat to be respectful and that no AI note taking or bots are allowed. Please refer to the event terms if you’d like further details. We look forward to your participation. ” They can click to say they agree right before using it (because we all know many people don’t read the terms they are agreeing to when they register) or it can at least appear as a reminder notice, as that’s a softer approach and use means they agree. Also, is there any way to completely prevent things like the Otter AI and the like from even being able to be entered, other than moderating every comment first? I think my next event will have too many attendees to do this individually and efficiently as well as a wide age range so thought I’d ask in case we need to remove someone. We can really cover ourselves in the event that someone’s access need be promptly revoked for not following the terms.

Make Testimonial Features More Robust

I have tons of testimonials that I want to keep in archive on the event page and repurpose the event page for the next event. As it appears it can on take about 3 to 4 testimonials and function effectively. I need a way to have the user to either move forward or hover over to slow down, or something like that. Right now after it goes up to 3, it stops and the user has no want of know there are many more testimonials to see as proof of concept. I know this may be an unusual ask but when you have an inaugural event and the feedback came in from many it’s important to show it to potential buyers and sponsors since it is new. Please help me to move this forwards as best as possible. Thanks for your continued support.
