Events Calendar and Paypal

[Madoc]

Hi,

I organise an adventure project and would like to use the events calendar for our new website. Could you let me know:

If you are able to do a ticketing system through modern tribe and how i do this
How easy it is to link this with Paypal or Stripe
Are there any costs to use the calendar linked to ticket sales other than the original purchase

This is all a bit new to me so any advise would be really appreciated! Trying to get it all sorted before some Time Out and Guardian press this Saturday. If you do have a support phone number where i could chat things through, that would be excellent.

Thanks

Hey Madoc!

Thanks for reaching out. We indeed have ticketing extensions for the Events Calendar, for several different eCommerce platforms. You can see all of them here → https://theeventscalendar.com/tickets/

As for whether you can use PayPal to power the payment processing for these tickets, yes, and Stripe as well.

The thing to keep in mind, however, is that the payment processing is not done by The Events Calendar, so using Stripe or PayPal is something separate that you have to arrange within the eCommerce plugin.

For example, if you wanted to sell tickets via WooCommerce on your site (a free plugin), then you could install The Events Calendar, WooCommerce, and our WooTickets Events Calendar add-on. WooCommerce supports PayPal by default, so that should be fine already, and then if you’d like to add Stripe support for tickets, you could then just also buy the Stripe Payment Gateway for WooCommerce → http://www.woothemes.com/products/stripe/

Finally, as for your question about there being more costs for tickets after initial purchase, no, there are no ticketing fees or anything like that that you have to pay after buying the plugins. In fact, this is one of the reasons that many people like using our products and selling tickets from their own sites instead of an online platform – so they can keep 100% of the revenue! 🙂

Let us know if this information helps with your questions, or if you have any other questions or concerns!

Cheers,
George
