SEO

[Brandi Leath]

What is the best product you offer that allows me to sell tickets to an event, in addition to each event having it’s own unique URL for SEO to retarget for ad purposes? My client is moving from Eventbrite to this platform possibly, since there is no SEO with the eventbrite product. Also what are the payment options? Do I need a third party plugin such as square, paypal, etc. or do you offer something similar? Thanks so much!

Hi Brandi,

Our plugin, The Events Calendar, makes each event have its own URL. Each event has its own, individual, unique URL.

None of our ticketing plugins add any other URL features to this. So, our plugin The Events Calendar will let you create an event, for example, called “The Coolest Party Ever.”

Its URL, for example, might be example.com/events/the-coolest-party-ever

Now let’s say you want to add ticketing functionality to this event. Whether you choose our “Eventbrite Tickets” add-on or Event Tickets Plus, the event will still have the same URL as above. But now a ticketing form will be added to that same event where users can buy tickets.

So, none of our ticketing plugins add URL features or SEO features or anything. They simply add the interface for buying tickets to events that already exist.

☝️ I hope this helps clarify things a bit!

Next, when it comes to payment options, it depends. If you choose to use Eventbrite Tickets, then the folks don’t pay on your site. They pay on eventbrite.com, and so whatever options for payment are on eventbrite.com are available to the user (currently PayPal and credit-card).

If you choose Event Tickets Plus, then the payments will be powered by a plugin called WooCommerce. WooCommerce itself has payment integrations, not our plugins—so, while PayPal is supported out of the box, you can get other extensions to add other payment options. You can find all WooCommerce payment extensions here: https://www.woothemes.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/payment-gateways/

I hope this all helps!

Cheers,
George
