Create your first event

Getting started ·5 min read ·Updated June 2026
You're here because

you have Venuera installed and want to publish an event with a date, a venue and the details buyers see.

In Venuera an event holds the where and when – title, date, venue and description – and one or more ticket types (WooCommerce products) sell entry to it. This article creates the event itself; selling tickets is the next article.

Add a new event

  1. Go to Venuera → Events → Add New.
  2. Give the event a title (e.g. “Summer Jazz Night”) and write a description in the main editor – this is the public event page.
  3. Set the start date and time, and an end if it has one. The start time is what Venuera uses for time-based check-in windows later, so set it accurately.
  4. Fill in the venue name and address. These appear on the event page and can be printed on the ticket. Set the event timezone (check-in windows are calculated against it), and tick Online event if it has no physical venue.

The event editor – title, schedule and venue details.
The event editor – title, schedule and venue details.

Set the featured image

Add a featured image from the right-hand panel. It is used on the event page, in event listings, and as the thumbnail in the Check-in app’s event picker, so pick something recognisable.

Publish

Click Publish. Your event now has a public page at its permalink, but it has no tickets yet – visitors cannot buy anything until you attach at least one ticket type. Keep the event open (or note its title); you will link tickets to it in the next step.

Tip: Running the same event on many dates (a weekly class, a tour)? Don’t create one event per date – the Recurring Events add-on turns a single event into a series with one schedule.

Next step

Now create a ticket type and sell it.
