Sell a simple or variable ticket

Tickets in Venuera are WooCommerce products of a special type. There are two:

• Event Ticket — a single ticket type at one price (e.g. “General Admission — €20”).
• Variable Event Ticket — one product with several tiers as variations (e.g. General / VIP / Backstage), each with its own price and stock.

Create a simple ticket

1. Go to Products → Add New.
2. In the Product data box, open the product-type dropdown and choose Event Ticket.
3. Set the price on the General tab.
4. Open the Event tab in the product-data panel and select the event this ticket admits to. This link is what binds the sale to your event and its check-in rules.
5. Set stock (capacity) under Inventory if the event has a limit — Venuera blocks overselling at both add-to-cart and checkout.
6. Publish.

Create a variable ticket (tiers)

When one event has several price tiers, use Variable Event Ticket instead of publishing three separate products:

1. Set the product type to Variable Event Ticket.
2. Under Attributes, add an attribute such as “Ticket type” with values General, VIP, Backstage, and tick Used for variations.
3. Under Variations, generate variations and give each its own price and stock.
4. Link the product to the event on the Event tab, as above.

Buyers now choose their tier on the event page, and each tier tracks its own capacity.

Test the purchase

Open the event page (or the product) on the front end, add a ticket to the cart and go through checkout. On a successful order Venuera generates one ticket per quantity — each with its own unique ID and QR code — and attaches them to the order. To take real money you need a payment method: see Connect WooCommerce payments.

When tickets are issued

By default tickets are created when the order reaches Processing (paid). You can switch this to Completed under Venuera → Settings if you only want tickets issued once you mark an order complete.
