Reserve And Pay For Your Events Online ... How Do You Do That?

Your events integrated with your website!

In my readers and client base, there are a lot of people who organize events. Whether this concerns workshops,
training, courses, concerts or theater performances. All these events have a number of things in common.
First of all, of course, that you would like to announce these things online. If you want to make this possible
in a structured way, it can be useful, for example, to display your events online in a calendar. In this way the
visitor can see in one store which events you organize and when. Possibly even which will take place in his
region.
A second important function is probably also having insight into who will be coming to an event. In other
words you want to be able to register visitors to your event online.
Another step nicer? It is of course completely ideal if someone can also pay directly online during the
registration procedure. And it becomes absolutely beautiful when even the ticket check can take place online.

Outside your budget

Until recently, these types of functionalities were far beyond the average entrepreneur's budget. Less than
five years ago you had to take into account that the prices for such systems started somewhere in the
neighborhood of 5000 euros. But since the growth of WordPress's popularity, the 'building block website'
has become commonplace. Building in your website of previously unaffordable functionalities is now easily
possible with plugins.
A few years ago I already dedicated an article to 'Event Manager', the plugin that is best suited for registering
and booking events at that time. One major drawback. The payment was only possible via credit card and Paypal.
the iDEAL was not an option. However, in the meantime, a lot has changed and there are several good
systems for the complete handling of the logistics of your events.

EventEspresso and The Events Calendar

The two most popular - and also best - plugins to offer your events online are EventEspresso and The Events
Calendar. Two plugins that hardly match each other in the functionalities offered. If one offers a new position,
the second will follow soon. My personal preference goes out to The Events Calendar. But it's a bit like
"Canon vs.." Nikon 'or' Mercedes vs BMW '. The real reasons for this preference are more personal and
emotional than a consideration of the real pros and cons. The disadvantages of the one compared to the other
that I can call you today are probably no longer topical tomorrow.

The Events Calendar

The Events Calendar actually consists of two plugins. The Events Calendar and sell event tickets online .
The first is a way to be able to offer your events in a structured way via your website, the second offers the
possibility for visitors to register for your event. Both plugins are free and can be downloaded from the
WordPress repository.
With Event Tickets, you can record online registrations for your events. However, what you cannot do is also
pay online. If you want to pay for your events online, you have to pay a little attention. But do not fear, you
do not have to dig deep. Event Tickets Plus and The Events Calendar Pro offer countless extra options for a
few tens per plugin.
The great thing is that the Event Tickets Plus plugin integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce. This
integration also makes it possible, for example, to integrate extra items into one payment process. Think
of an additional dinner, handout or other products and services related to your event.

Profit with Woo!

But using WooCommerce as your 'sales system' for tickets also makes it possible to boost the sales of your
other products. Do you remember my free e-book 'Profit with Woo'? You can also use the tips here to increase
your sales through your ticket sales. And the great thing is, this book is (still) free!
Looking for a WooCommerce website?

Then the best way to get started is to use one of those handy eCommerce - Total packages. Because you
can't get there with just a website. eCommerce - Totaal is a combination of a website, training, and
personal guidance. In short, everything you need to make your business a success. And that for a very
reasonable price.
