Transform your WooCommerce store into a complete ticketing platform for any event.
WC Ticket Manager Pro is perfect for event organizers, venue owners, promoters, non-profits, and educators who need to sell tickets directly from their WooCommerce website. Instead of relying on third-party services that charge hefty fees, you get complete control over your ticketing process.
WooCommerce is fantastic for ecommerce, but it doesn’t offer a built-in way to manage event tickets. This WooCommerce ticket manager plugin bridges that gap by adding ticketing functionality right into your familiar dashboard.
You can create tickets for any event, customize ticket formats, collect attendee information through unlimited custom fields, manage check-ins, and export data, all without leaving WooCommerce.
The plugin stands out because of its flexibility (trust me on this). Add unlimited custom fields to collect attendee data, modify ticket numbers with prefixes and suffixes, and customize email templates to match your branding.
Trying to manage ticket sales manually leads to confusion. Attendees may not receive proper tickets, organizers can’t easily track purchases, and exporting data involves messy spreadsheets.
This plugin addresses these issues by adding ticket management straight into WooCommerce. It handles ticket creation automatically, makes attendee tracking easier, and offers real-time reporting. The result is a smoother process for both event organizers and their guests.
How It Works
Getting started is remarkably straightforward, even if you’ve never sold tickets online before.
- Install and Activate – Install the plugin (Free or Pro version) from your WordPress dashboard or via FTP. For the Pro version, activate your license under Plugins → Installed Plugins using your key from PluginEver account.
- Create a ticket – Open any WooCommerce product, go to the product data section, and enable the “Sell Tickets” option. That’s it, your regular product is now a ticket.
- Configure ticket details – Set price, quantity, and event information. Customize ticket number prefixes, suffixes, and lengths either globally or per product. Define unlimited custom fields like attendee names, dietary restrictions, or seat preferences.
- Manage sales automatically – When customers purchase tickets, the plugin generates unique ticket numbers and sends email confirmations instantly. All ticket sales appear in your WooCommerce orders list plus a dedicated Tickets screen.
Behind the scenes, the plugin uses standard WooCommerce hooks and processes. That means it works with your existing payment gateways, themes, and other plugins without conflicts.
Key Features
These features make WC Ticket Manager Pro essential for anyone serious about event ticket management.
Turn any WooCommerce product into event tickets by enabling “Sell Tickets” option. Set price and quantity, then publish. Customers receive their tickets right after purchase while orders integrate with your existing WooCommerce workflow smoothly.
Collect attendee information like names, meal preferences, T-shirt sizes, or accessibility needs through unlimited custom fields. No coding required, just add fields to ticket forms and data stores with each order automatically.
Customize ticket formats with prefixes, suffixes, and lengths for branding consistency. Set global defaults or override per product. Create professional tickets matching your event brand while maintaining unique identification.
Send branded ticket emails automatically after purchase with customizable templates. Include event details, directions, and your logo. Customers get instant tickets while you save time through complete automation.
View attendee lists, check guests in at events, and track attendance from your dashboard. Real-time check-ins eliminate paper lists. Pro users export data for analysis or staff coordination.
Export ticket and attendee data to CSV for reporting or external systems. Filter by ticket status, choose specific fields, and analyze sales performance plus demographics easily.
Advanced Ticket Customization
Want to create tickets that really stand out? The plugin lets you customize ticket templates with your branding, logos, and event-specific details. You can modify the email template customers receive to include directions, parking information, or special event notes.
Ticket numbering gets pretty sophisticated too. Set global prefixes like “FEST2024” or product-specific ones like “VIP-001.” The suffix and length options give you complete control over how tickets look and feel.
Payment Gateway Integration
Since the plugin uses WooCommerce as its foundation, it supports all payment gateways available in WooCommerce. Credit cards, PayPal, Stripe, bank transfers, whatever your customers prefer, they can use it.
This also means you can offer discount codes and promotional pricing through WooCommerce’s coupon system. Early bird discounts, group rates, or promo codes all work seamlessly.
Real-Time Event Management
The attendee management screen is honestly pretty clever. You can see who’s purchased tickets, check people in as they arrive, and track attendance in real-time. No more clipboards or printed lists, everything happens on your tablet or phone.
Export functions let you download attendee lists for external check-in systems or post-event analysis. Filter by ticket status, include custom field data, and choose exactly which information you need.
Use Cases
Here’s how organizations use this plugin to manage their events:
Local Music Festival
A community festival sells tickets with custom prefixes and collects T-shirt sizes. Volunteers check in attendees using tablets, removing paper lists. After the event, organizers export demographic data to plan future festivals and understand their audience.
Corporate Training Seminar
A consulting firm sells tickets with early-bird discounts using WooCommerce coupons and collects job titles and dietary preferences. Automated confirmations provide venue details, and real-time check-ins track attendance for continuing education credits.
Non-Profit Fundraising Event
A charitable organization creates multiple ticket types (standard, VIP, sponsor) with different pricing. Custom email templates include thank-you messages and tax information. Export functions help compile donor lists for future campaigns.
Integrations & Compatibility
- WC Ticket Manager Pro integrates seamlessly with your existing WooCommerce setup without requiring major changes to your workflow.
- The plugin requires PHP 7.4+, WordPress 5.8+, and WooCommerce 5.0+. It works with most WooCommerce themes and doesn’t override core templates, so your site’s design stays intact.
- Since it uses WooCommerce’s payment processing, you can accept payments through any supported gateway. The plugin also integrates with email marketing services via WooCommerce hooks, letting you send follow-up campaigns to ticket purchasers.
- Upcoming features include QR code generation and a dedicated mobile scanning app for faster, more secure check-ins. The development roadmap focuses on enhancing the core ticketing experience rather than expanding into venue or scheduling management.
Frequently Asked Questions
These questions come from real users implementing ticketing systems, so they address practical concerns you’re likely to have.
How do I create tickets in WooCommerce?
Edit any WooCommerce product and enable the “Sell Tickets” option under product data. Set your ticket price, quantity, and event details, then customize the ticket number format if needed. Add custom fields to collect attendee information, save, and publish. The plugin automatically generates unique tickets when customers make purchases, handling all the technical details behind the scenes.
Can I customize the ticket confirmation emails?
Absolutely. Go to Ticket Manager → Settings → Emails to customiz the template with your branding, logo, and event-specific instructions. You can add directions, parking details, dress codes, or any special notes. All future ticket confirmations will use your customized template, giving a professional experience that fits your brand and helps reduce support questions.
How does the attendee check-in process work?
Use the Ticket Manager → Attendees menu to view your complete attendee list. At the event, access this screen on a tablet or laptop to check people in as they arrive. The system updates in real-time, showing attendance status and any custom information you’ve collected. This eliminates paper lists and makes the entry process much smoother for everyone.
Can I export ticket sales data for reporting?
Yes, this is a Pro feature that’s incredibly useful. Go to Ticket Manager → Tools, select your event product, apply any filters you need (like ticket status), and choose which data fields to include in the export. Download everything as a CSV file for analysis, integration with other systems, or sharing with your team.
How do I set up discount codes for early bird pricing?
Create discount coupons under WooCommerce → Marketing → Coupons just like you would for any other product. Choose between fixed amounts or percentages, set usage limits, and apply the coupon specifically to your ticket products. Customers enter the code at checkout to receive their discount. This works great for early bird specials, group rates, or promotional campaigns.
What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin?
If you’re using the Pro version, first deactivate your license under Plugins → Installed Plugins to free it for use elsewhere. Then delete the plugin through your WordPress dashboard. Most data remains in your WooCommerce orders, but plugin-specific features will no longer be accessible. Always backup your site before making major changes, and consider exporting important attendee data before uninstalling.
