This article provides information on how to create a paid event using Ticket Generator. This is useful for event organizers looking to host events with a ticketing fee.
Creating a paid event in Ticket Generator allows organizers to manage and distribute tickets for events with a charge. This guide will walk through the steps to set up and manage a paid event efficiently.
A. Create an Event
-
Log in to your Ticket Generator account
- If you don't have an account, create a free trial account
- Navigate to the Event Dashboard
- Go to Navigation Sidebar > Manage Events > Event Dashboard
- Click on Create New Event
- Fill in the necessary event details such as Event Name, Date, Time, and Location
- Click on Create
B. Paid Event Options
Now, there are two options to create a paid event, either creating an event page with a payment mechanism or collecting payment manually and distributing the ticket using the tool:
1. Customize Event Page
- Add Event Description and Images
- Provide a detailed description of the event
- Upload relevant images that represent your event
- Set Up the Event Page
- Go to Event Dashboard > Event Page (Registration Form)
- Add fields that you want attendees to fill out, such as Name, Email, etc.
1.1 Set Up Payment Mechanism
- Go to the Event Page section and click on Setup Payment
- Choose the preferred payment gateway from the dropdown list (Currently, integration with Stripe is supported)
- Setup the payment mechanism with the help of this guide:
1.2 Promote the Event
Share the event link on social media, through emails, and other promotional channels to reach a wider audience.
C. Distribute Tickets Manually or Programmatically
Organizers also have other options for distributing tickets via the Ticket Generator Tool for a paid event after they collect the payment manually. Once they collect payments they can distribute the tickets through different channels like email, SMS, or WhatsApp, API integration or download them to print
Note:
- 1 credit = 1 ticket
- The first 10 ticket credits are free. Additional credits can be purchased as needed. See Pricing
- Payment integration can be tested via the Test URL of the Event Registration Page. An actual payment of USD 0.6 will need to be made, which can be refunded when testing is complete. The minimum value of a ticket can be 0.6 and the maximum can be 5,000 (in any currency).
