A practical approach to how to sell event tickets on your wordpress site.

Plan a NexDirectory Pro ticket journey from offer and checkout to transaction records and browser QR check-in.

How it works

Put this guidance into practice.

Design tickets and capacity

Define the single price, capacity, attendee questions, provider-side refund policy and confirmation information people need.

Test payment and failure states

Use the processor’s test mode for successful, failed and abandoned orders, then test its external refund and reconciliation process.

Rehearse check-in

Use the Free attendee CSV export, scan valid and duplicate QR codes in the browser and document a manual fallback.

Questions

Common questions.

Can I sell native tickets with Free?

No. Native paid checkout, verified guest ticketing, promo codes and QR check-in require Pro. Free still includes attendee CSV export.

Are payment fees included?

No. Payment processors set their own transaction and account charges.

What if the internet fails at check-in?

Prepare a recently exported attendee list and a documented manual attendance process before doors open.
