How to Issue Certificates of Attendance from an Eventbrite Attendee List

To send certificates after an Eventbrite event, export your attendee list from Order Management as a CSV, import it into a CertFusion certificate template, map the name and email columns, and click Issue Certificates. Every attendee receives a verified, branded certificate — the whole process takes under five minutes.

Eventbrite handles registration and ticketing well, but it has no built-in way to send attendees a certificate once your event wraps up. If you run workshops, webinars, or CPD sessions, that usually means a spreadsheet, a mail merge, and an evening you won't get back. This guide shows the faster route: Eventbrite's CSV export plus CertFusion's CSV import, so every attendee gets a certificate in one batch.

What you'll need

A completed Eventbrite event with at least one order, a CertFusion account with a certificate design ready for the event, and about five minutes. If you haven't built a design yet, create one first in Certificate Templates — the import flow below attaches recipients to a specific design.

Step 1: Export your attendee list from Eventbrite

Log in to Eventbrite and open the Events page of your account. Click the event that just ended to open its event dashboard.

In the left menu, expand Manage Attendees and choose Manage Orders.

On the Order Management page, find the Export section, open the File Type dropdown, and choose Export to CSV. Eventbrite generates the report and downloads it to your computer — for larger events this can take a moment.

Open the downloaded file and take a quick look. Eventbrite includes a lot of columns — order IDs, fees, delivery methods — but you only need two: the attendee's name and their email address.

Step 2: Open your certificate template in CertFusion

Switch to CertFusion and open Certificate Templates. Find the design you want to send for this event and click its Manage Recipients icon.

The recipients list starts empty, so click Add Recipients.

CertFusion can pull recipients directly from tools like Zoom, Webex, Typeform, Tally, and Google Forms. For Eventbrite, the CSV route is just as fast — choose Import Recipients from CSV.

Step 3: Upload the CSV and map your columns

Click Choose File, select the orders file you just downloaded from Eventbrite, and click Upload & Preview.

CertFusion reads every column in the file and shows a preview. Only two mappings are required: name and email. Scroll to the name column and map it to Recipient Name, then map the email column to Email Address. Everything else can stay unmapped.

Tip: Eventbrite splits names into First Name and Surname. If you want the full name on the certificate, combine them into one column in your spreadsheet before uploading — or map whichever column matches how your certificate displays names.

Click Import Recipients. CertFusion creates a recipient for each attendee and skips the header row automatically, so there's no cleanup to do.

Step 4: Issue the certificates

Select all your recipients and click Issue Certificates. CertFusion asks whether it should email each certificate to its recipient. Choose Yes to send everyone an email with a link to their certificate, or No if you'd rather distribute the links yourself.

Confirm, give it a moment to process, and refresh. Every status flips from Pending to Issued.

Each attendee now has a verified certificate page with a unique credential ID and QR code. They can download it as a PDF, share the link, or add it straight to their LinkedIn profile.

Why this beats manual certificate emails

Doing this by hand means editing a design once per attendee, exporting PDFs, and sending individual emails — realistically a full afternoon for a 100-person event. The CSV workflow takes the same five minutes whether you have two attendees or two thousand. Certificates are also verifiable: each one has a credential ID and public page, so employers and CPD bodies can confirm it's real.

FAQ

Does Eventbrite have built-in certificates of attendance?

No. Eventbrite doesn't generate or send certificates. The standard approach is to export your attendee list as a CSV and use a certificate tool like CertFusion to issue them in bulk.

Which columns does the Eventbrite CSV need?

Only a name and an email address. Eventbrite's orders export includes both by default (First Name, Surname, and Email Address), along with order details you can ignore during import.

Can I send certificates only to attendees who actually showed up?

Yes. Check in attendees in Eventbrite, then export from the Attendee report filtered to checked-in attendees instead of the full orders list — or simply delete no-show rows from the CSV before uploading.

Will recipients get an email automatically?

Your choice. When you issue certificates, CertFusion asks whether to email each recipient a link to their certificate. You can also skip emails and share the certificate links yourself.

What if my CSV has a header row or an invalid email?

CertFusion skips them automatically during import and tells you exactly which rows were skipped, so a header row won't create a broken recipient.
