event brite plugin – sales question

[Cassie]

Hi,

I am wanting to add events calendar to my website. I noticed that you have the events calendar, events calendar pro and the eventbrite add on. I need a calendar which can display all views including map view which can be filtered on venue and also connected to eventbrite. Essentially I will be running events across different venues and there may be multiple events in a given day (max 2-3).

I have a few questions before purchasing the plugins:
1. Do I need the events calendar pro and eventbrite plugins? or just the eventbrite?
2. With the eventbrite plugin are the ticket sales on your website considered to be separate to eventbrite or are you still charged commision on these tickets from eventbrite?
4. Is there a widget available that allows you to add a gallery of events or a single event (e.g insert ‘May 8 marathon event ‘ to row in page builder) to the landing page and/or other pages (events need to be clickable and separate from the calendar)
3. How are the maps affected by the new google maps licencing? Is it a requirement to register credit card details with google or do you have an alternative map option such as OSM or Mapbox?

Kind Regards,

Cassie

Hi Cassie!

Thanks for your interest in our plugins. Let me answer each of your questions.

Do I need the events calendar pro and eventbrite plugins? or just the eventbrite?

In your case you will need Events Calendar PRO and Eventbrite Tickets plugins. PRO will give you the extra Map view you need, as well as Photo and Week views. Of course, several other features are included in PRO like Additional Fields and Recurring Events to name a few.

With Eventbrite Tickets plugin you can manage your entire Eventbrite events from your WordPress admin.

With the eventbrite plugin are the ticket sales on your website considered to be separate to eventbrite or are you still charged commision on these tickets from eventbrite?

That’s a good question. Eventbrite Tickets plugin will only display an iframe of your Eventbrite tickets into your site. Ticket sells are still managed by Eventbrite, so you will be charged the usual commisions from them.

Is there a widget available that allows you to add a gallery of events or a single event (e.g insert ‘May 8 marathon event ‘ to row in page builder) to the landing page and/or other pages (events need to be clickable and separate from the calendar)

Events Calendar PRO has many widgets available > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/events-calendar-widgets/ and you can also embed them into your site using a shortcode > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

Additionally, you can embed a calendar view using the [tribe_events] shortcode > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/

How are the maps affected by the new google maps licencing? Is it a requirement to register credit card details with google or do you have an alternative map option such as OSM or Mapbox?

We are exploring other map services for our map views, but currently Map view requires a Google Maps API key > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/setting-up-your-google-maps-api-key/ so yes, you will need to set up a credit card with Google to make it work. Let me share the following article where we explain the recent Google Maps API changes > https://theeventscalendar.com/important-google-maps-api-changes/

Hope that helps. Let me know if any follow up questions 🙂

Best,
Victor
