Using our Community<\/a> plugin, you can not only allow users to submit events, but also sell tickets for those events as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all of our premium Events add-ons,\u00a0Community\u00a0<\/strong>requires The Events Calendar<\/a> to be installed on your site. Additionally,\u00a0the Tickets feature requires Event Tickets<\/a>\u00a0installed and active on your site<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>We recommend that you install and configure those plugins before continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to go? It’s time to set this up so your users can sell tickets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. First,\u00a0download and install the plugin<\/a> the Community plugin<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. If you’ve just purchased Community, the license key will be automatically added for you. Just in case you don’t have the license activated, see our guide on how to input your license key<\/a>. The plugin will work without the license key, but you\u2019ll need it for automatic updates when a new version is released. Need updates on both your dev site and your live site? We can do that<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Configure your settings<\/a>. Go to Events > Settings > Community > Community Tickets > Enable Community Tickets<\/strong><\/em>
    and make sure that you have checked the box <\/strong>to turn on Community Tickets functionality.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Make sure that you have your Tickets Commerce<\/a> (or WooCommerce<\/a>) settings\u00a0configured to meet your needs. If you’ll be using split payments for dividing payments between event organizers and site administration<\/strong>, you’ll also want to make sure that you’ve completed the setup process for PayPal and entered those settings into Community Tickets.\n
      \n
    1. Configure your Site Fees<\/a> settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Configure your Split Payments<\/a> settings <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Sit back and let your community organizers add their events and tickets! If you’re collecting fees from\u00a0ticket purchases, you can also track sales and get paid<\/a>. You can also use shortcodes<\/a> to allow your Community Ticket users to track sales and handle attendee registration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      If you run into trouble or need help, you can head to our troubleshooting page<\/a> or post to our Help Desk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
