Sell Event Tickets with WooCommerce
WooCommerce is one of the most popular ecommerce solutions for selling products and services through WordPress.
If you sell event tickets online, using WooCommerce is a no-brainer. It’s free and open-source, making it accessible to users with limited budgets. Plus, it’s flexible and highly customizable. Tons of payment, shipping, and checkout options allow for a unique and personalized ecommerce experience. There are also lots of extensions and add-ons to extend the plugin’s capabilities.
All these features make WooCommerce a great solution for those looking to sell tickets online.
Plus, Event Tickets Plus comes with WooCommerce installed, so setup couldn’t be easier. With these two powerful plugins working together, you can create custom registration forms, include multiple ticket types, and manage attendees, all without incurring third-party ticket fees.
Let’s explore how compatible these two plugins are to sell your event tickets with WooCommerce.
Combine Events Tickets Plus with WooCommerce
The best way to sell tickets with WooCommerce is through Event Tickets Plus to unlock maximum capabilities.
Before selling tickets, you’ll first need to create them! First, add a new page or post and include details about your event. Once you’ve added your content, add a ticket block. This is where you’ll build your registration form.
With Event Tickets Plus, you can customize registration forms. You can use a custom form to ask for extra information like T-shirt size, food preferences, age, and so on. Feel free to add your registration form to any custom post type—like a page, a post, or an event—for multiple entry points.
Event Tickets Plus also comes with full WooCommerce integration. All you need is at least one payment option under WooCommerce Settings > Payments to get started. Explore the other WooCommerce settings to customize the checkout experience to your liking. You can control when a ticket is generated after purchase, as well as inventory display levels.
Importantly, review options related to emails that attendees receive about your event. They should receive an order confirmation, canceled or refunded order, and new account creation emails. When adding tickets to WooCommerce, customers can also receive their tickets via email.
What Else Can WooCommerce Do?
WooCommerce powers over 20 percent of the top ecommerce sites in the world. So it comes as no surprise that WooCommerce offers more than 290 official extensions in its library to add tons of useful functionality to your site.
Here’s how you can further integrate Events Tickets with WooCommerce:
- Promote ticket sales with coupon codes.
- Display your tickets in the WooCommerce shop alongside your products.
- Use the Name Your Price extension so attendees can “pay what you can.”
- Install WooCommerce Deposits to collect down payments and set up payment plans for event tickets.
- Use WooCommerce search engine optimization to help more people find and attend your event.
Take advantage of WooCommerce’s extensions to improve the transaction experience and sell your tickets exactly the way you want.
Note: Some of these integrations may require additional customizations in order to work with our plugins. See this Knowledgebase article and this Knowledgebase article for more information.
