Tickets Commerce is relatively easy to set up, but sometimes there are snafus along the way. Let’s go over some of the most common issues and how you can fix them.
Basic Setup Issues
We’ll take you through each of the steps with visuals along the way to make sure you don’t miss anything. Check out this article for help with basic setup issues.
Popup Blocking
When setting up Tickets Commerce, the PayPal interface appears as a mini window or popup. If you do not see the popup, you may have a popup blocker enabled. Disabling your popup blocker should allow the connection prompt to appear as expected.
Configuring Checkout and Success Pages
The process to configure checkout and success pages involves multiple steps and may seem confusing at first.
To get started, go to Tickets > Settings > Payments and select the option that you’d like to use for each of your pages.
Now add the indicated shortcode to the pages that you’ve selected.
For more information on how to set this up, we have a dedicated Knowledgebase article.

Currency mismatch between Stripe and Tickets Commerce
You may run into issues when different currencies are selected. In order to avoid problems and fees for currency conversions, you will need to select the same currency both for Tickets Commerce (under Tickets > Settings > Payments) and in your Stripe account configuration.
Issues with payment methods not enabled on Stripe
When your Stripe for Tickets Commerce checkout type is set to Accept credit card payments and additional payment methods configured in Stripe you will be able to enable the different payment methods that you want to have in your checkout, depending on your currency.

Stripe Webhooks
Webhooks are used by Stripe to communicate with your site. It provides information such as the status of the payment and is used to update the ticket orders based on certain events from Stripe’s side of things. It’s important to note that when using Stripe, you’ll want to enable Pretty Permalinks under WordPress Settings > Permalinks.
