This page shows how to take sponsorship payments through Zeffy, with a Become a sponsor button and the Zeffy form embedded in the event page.

Sponsorship payment is part of the newer event layouts. Your event needs eventlayout set to poster, rail or tabs for it to show.

How to set it up

  1. In Zeffy, create a form for your sponsorship levels. Keep it separate from your registration form.
  2. Open the form and select Share, then More ways to share, then Embed. Zeffy’s menus change from time to time; you are looking for the embed code for the form.
  3. In the embed code, find the address that starts with https://www.zeffy.com and contains /embed/.
  4. In your event’s data file in _data/events/, set these two keys:
sponsorpaymenttype: zeffy
sponsorpaymenturl: https://www.zeffy.com/embed/ticketing/your-sponsorship-form
  1. Submit a pull request as usual. See how to submit a PR.

What sponsors see

  • A Become a sponsor button near the top of the page and again under the sponsor logos.
  • The button jumps to the Zeffy form, which sits under your sponsorship plan.
  • Your sponsorship plan (sponsorplan) stays on the page, inside Show the full sponsorship plan.

FAQ

Which Zeffy address do I use? The embed address, the one with /embed/ in it.

I do not use Zeffy. Can the button link somewhere else? Yes. Leave sponsorpaymenttype blank and put your link in sponsorpaymenturl. The button opens it in a new tab.

What happens if I leave sponsorpaymenturl blank? The Become a sponsor button jumps to your sponsorship plan. If there is no sponsorship plan either, the button is not shown.

Why is the button or form not showing?

  • The event must use one of the newer layouts. The classic event page does not have the Become a sponsor button.
  • sponsorpaymenttype is spelled zeffy, in lower case.
  • sponsorpaymenturl is the embed address and the form is published in Zeffy.

How do sponsor logos get on the page? That has not changed. Add each sponsor under sponsors with its type, image and link. The logo opens the sponsor’s site in a new tab.

Can I use Zeffy for both registration and sponsorship? Yes. They are two forms and two sets of keys. See Zeffy registration.

Is there an example I can copy? Yes. See _data/events/SideRailTemplate2027.yml and its page at /SideRailTemplate2027/.

Where can I see all of the example pages? The 2027 examples use Zeffy for registration and sponsorship. The 2026 examples show a finished event.
