Create an event, add tickets, **design beautiful PDF tickets** with the built-in drag & drop Ticket Designer, deliver them with QR/Barcodes, and check in attendees at the door. You keep the revenue — no middleman fees taken by Tickera. For ticket scanning, use integrated **[Barcode readers](https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/barcode-reader/ "Tickera Barcode Reader Add-on")**. If you want mobile check-in on phones, our **premium** **[Checkinera apps](https://tickera.com/checkinera-app/ "Checkinera apps")** for iOS/Android enable blazing-fast scanning - **even offline** after sync. There’s also a **[Checkinera web app](https://tickera.com/checkinera-web/ "Checkinera web app")** that turns any modern browser into a fully-fledged check-in desk. --- ### ✅ Key features - 🎟️ Sell event tickets on your site - you keep the revenue - 🗂️ Manage events in WordPress — create, edit, duplicate, set dates/capacity, and control ticket types - 🎨 Built-in drag & drop Ticket Designer with a live PDF preview, unlimited designs, and ready-made templates - 🧾 PDF tickets with embedded QR/Barcode for fast entry - 🧍 Event registration with buyer and attendee fields - 💸 Ticket sales tools: multiple ticket types, limits, discount codes, fees, taxes - 🚀 Fast check-in with barcode readers, Checkinera mobile apps (premium), or the web app - 🧩 Works with most WordPress themes - 🧪 Developer-friendly (actions and filters for customization) - 🏷️ White-label ready - 🕸️ Multisite support ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ > _“These guys offer a whole different level of service… give them a go!”_ — [James Farmer, WPMU DEV](https://wpmudev.com/) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### 🎨 Design beautiful tickets (new in 3.6) Make tickets people actually want to keep. The built-in **Ticket Designer** is a drag & drop editor with a **live, pixel-perfect PDF preview** — what you see on screen is exactly what your attendees receive. Start from a library of ready-made templates (Wedding, Concert, Conference, Gala Dinner, Festival, Theatre and more), or build your own unlimited designs and assign them per event or per ticket type. You can also restyle your storefront with selectable **front-end themes** (Minimal, Bold, or Dark) for a clean, modern look on your event, cart and checkout pages — or keep your own theme's styling. Set it under Tickera > Settings > Appearance. --- #### Manage events & event registration Create and update events in WordPress, then capture event registration details for each attendee. --- ### 🧠 How it works 1. Choose your payment gateway. 2. Create an **event** and add one or more **ticket types** (e.g., Standard, VIP). 3. Share your **ticket sales** page and take orders. 4. Buyers receive **PDF tickets** with **QR/Barcodes**. 5. At the venue, **check in** attendees with scanners, the **Checkinera** apps (premium), or the **web app**. --- ### 🎬 Video [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPFpzi4kGFQ] --- ### 💳 Payments **Tickera plugin comes with** **[2Checkout](https://www.2checkout.com/referral?r=95d26f72d1 "2Checkout payment gateway")**, **Custom Offline Payments**, and **Free Orders** as built-in payment gateways. **Need more options?** Get **[Tickera Premium](http://tickera.com/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=plugin-page&utm_campaign=premium "WordPress Event Ticketing system")** for gateways like: - **[Mollie](http://tickera.com/addons/mollie-payment-gateway/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=plugin-page&utm_campaign=mollie "Mollie payment gateway for Tickera")** (iDeal, Credit Card, Bancontact/Mister Cash, SOFORT, Overbooking, Bitcoin, PayPal, paysafecard, AcceptEmail) - PayPal Standard • PayPal PRO • 2Checkout • Stripe • Paymill • Authorize.net • PIN Payments • Vogue Pay • iPay88 • PayGate • OptimalPayments/Netbanx • Braintree • PayUMoney • PayTabs • White Payments • PayU Latam • Komoju • plus Custom Offline Payments & Free Orders. --- ### 🛒 WooCommerce compatible Already on WooCommerce?
