Curious to learn more? Read on to see if you could use the extra horsepower provided by Purplepass.
How does this integration work?
Purplepass easily syncs with The Events Calendar on WordPress, which means you can continue managing your events right from your WordPress dashboard. No need to create the same event in two places!
When you create your events through The Events Calendar, they’ll also be automatically listed on the Purplepass website, which increases your audience and sales potential.
What’s the difference between Event Tickets and Purplepass?
Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus are ticketing and registration plugins for WordPress created by the team at The Events Calendar. Event Tickets is a free ticketing plugin; Event Tickets Plus is a premium subscription that comes with extra features like custom registration fields and a QR code ticket scanner.
Purplepass is a third-party ticketing solution. This event management software provides event planners with everything they need in one spot, including ticket packages, seating maps, and reporting.
For many The Events Calendar users, our Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus plugins meet all their ticketing and registration needs. But if you’re looking for features like assigned seating or ticket delivery by mail, you’ll want to check out The Events Calendar/Purplepass integration.
What does it cost to use Event Tickets with Purplepass?
As always, our core The Events Calendar plugin is free.
If you choose to use the Purplepass integration, Purplepass charges a fee of 2.5% + $0.99 per ticket, with options for mailing printed tickets and/or wristbands for an additional cost. The software does not charge for map building, free events, COMP tickets, signup fees or include contracts.
How do I get started?
It’s easy! You can have The Events Calendar and Purplepass integration up and running in minutes by following these steps:
- Create your Purplepass account.
- Install the Purplepass plugin for WordPress.
