Organizer settings

pretix organizers and events have lots and lots of parameters of different types that are stored in a key-value store on our system. Since many of these settings depend on each other in complex ways, we can not give direct access to all of these settings through the API. However, we do expose many of the simple and useful flags through the API.

Please note that the available settings flags change between pretix versions, and we do not give a guarantee on backwards-compatibility like with other parts of the API. Therefore, we’re also not including a list of the options here, but instead recommend to look at the endpoint output to see available options. The explain=true flag enables a verbose mode that provides you with human-readable information about the properties.

Note

Please note that this is not a complete representation of all organizer settings. You will find more settings in the web interface.

Warning

This API is intended for advanced users. Even though we take care to validate your input, you will be able to break your shops using this API by creating situations of conflicting settings. Please take care.

Warning

Settings can be stored at different levels in pretix. If a value is not set on organizer level, a default setting from a higher level (global) will be returned. If you explicitly set a setting on organizer level, it will no longer be inherited from the higher levels. Therefore, we recommend you to send only settings that you explicitly want to set on organizer level. To unset a settings, pass null.
