Strategic Benefit

Event Product Creation

Events are set up as standard WooCommerce products (simple, variable, or external), allowing you to define the event name, date/time, location, and ticket inventory.

Familiar Interface: Uses the familiar WooCommerce product editor, making setup easy.

Ticket Inventory Control

Automatically manages stock based on the number of tickets sold, preventing overselling. You can set different ticket types (e.g., General Admission, VIP) as product variations.

Reliable Sales: Ensures you never sell more tickets than the venue capacity.

Unique Ticket Generation

Upon purchase, the plugin generates a unique digital ticket for each attendee, typically delivered as a PDF attachment in the order confirmation email.

Security: Each ticket has a unique identifier, preventing duplication and unauthorized entry.

Barcode/QR Code Support

The generated tickets include a unique Barcode or QR Code that staff can scan at the event entrance using a mobile device or scanner.

Fast Check-in: Allows for rapid and accurate attendance tracking and validation at the venue.

Check-in App (Often)

Many modern event ticket plugins, including YITH, offer a dedicated mobile application or a simplified web interface for staff to scan and validate tickets in real-time.

Efficient Gate Management: Enables real-time validation and prevents double use of tickets.

Attendee Management

Provides a centralized list of all attendees for a specific event, including their order details, ticket status (used/unused), and contact information.

Logistics: Simplifies the organization and communication with confirmed attendees.

Ticket Customization

Allows you to customize the appearance of the generated PDF ticket with your event branding, logo, and custom messages.

Professionalism: Ensures the digital ticket reflects your brand identity.

Location Mapping

Integration with maps (Google Maps) to display the venue location and directions on the event product page.

User Experience: Provides all necessary event information in one place.
