Every minute counts when you’re running events—and the fewer dependencies you have, the better.

This month’s updates are designed to help event marketers move faster, stay in control, and give attendees a smoother experience across the board. From ticket payments to private landing pages to badge printing—these improvements simplify the way you work.

Here’s what’s new:

1. PayPal joins the payments lineup

What’s new

You can now let attendees pay via PayPal when purchasing event tickets—alongside existing gateways like Stripe and Cybersource.

Why this matters

• It’s a globally recognized, trusted payment method.
  
• Some attendees prefer PayPal for convenience or security.
  
• It’s especially helpful for training sessions, paid workshops, or international events‍
  

2. Masked landing pages: keep it exclusive

Some events just aren’t meant for public viewing. Think leadership meetings, product previews, or internal training. With Masked Landing Pages, you can now restrict access to your event page using invite lists—so only the right people can view and register.

Why this matters

• Keep your event content exclusive and secure – from the very first click.
• Reduces irrelevant or accidental registrations
  
• Simplifies collaboration with controlled access in one workspace

Hosting a customer advisory board meeting? You don’t want everyone landing on the page—just the people you’ve handpicked. This update makes that possible.

3. Design and print badges—without relying on devs

You can now create beautiful, personalized badges right from within Zuddl. With the new Badge Builder, event organizers can visually design badges and instantly sync them with the onsite mobile app for real-time printing at check-in.

Why this matters

• Design your badges with ease using a visual interface—no coding needed. Want to fine-tune it further? You still have full flexibility with HTML customization.
  
• Use merge tags to automatically pull in attendee data like name, title, or company.
  
• Apply custom fonts per field to align with your event’s brand.
  
• Includes default fallback badges to avoid delays during check-in.
  
• Start faster with out-of-the-box badge templates—no need to build from scratch.
  

Badges are also fully integrated with the rest of your event flow. Each badge includes a QR code that works seamlessly with session check-ins, sponsor booth visits, and gamification tasks—making them more than just a name tag.

TL;DR: You now have more control, fewer blockers

All three of these releases are rooted in the same goal: Give organizers more control without adding complexity. All three features are available now and easy to start using.
