How to sell tickets on Webflow

Webflow is one of the most powerful website builders available today. It's a robust tool for creating websites without coding, making it ideal for cultural organizations and events. For instance, non-profit organizations receive a 50% discount on their Site Plan. This raises an important question: How can you best sell tickets using Webflow?

How Can You Best Sell Tickets with Webflow?

1. You can use a ticketing system like WeTicket, Eventbrite, or Ticketmaster. These systems can be integrated into your Webflow site in just a few steps.
2. Alternatively, you can create a custom workflow within Webflow to sell tickets without using an external ticketing system.

While the second option may seem appealing, building a ticket shop directly in Webflow introduces complexities. For example, Webflow lacks built-in functionality for sending and scanning tickets. You can solve this with external tools, but it's time-consuming and prone to errors.

In most cases, it's more practical to go with the first option and integrate an external ticketing system into your site.

How to Sell Tickets with WeTicket on Webflow

Create an account at weticket.com and set up your first event. WeTicket will automatically generate a ticket shop for you, which you can customize and style. There are three ways to integrate this ticket shop into your Webflow site.

Option 1: Add a Ticket Button

The simplest way to sell tickets on Webflow is by adding a button. Link this button directly to your ticket shop.

Option 2: Use an Iframe

You can integrate your WeTicket shop into your Webflow site using an iframe. Add a 'Code Embed' element to your page and insert the embed code below. You can adjust the width and height as needed.

<iframe src="https://**your-organisation**.weticket.io/**your-shop**/shop" width="100%" height="800px" style="border:none;"></iframe>


Option 3: Use the Webflow CMS

If you organize multiple events, the Webflow CMS might be a better option. It allows you to create a list or calendar of all your events on your Webflow site.

1. Create a CMS collection named "events." Add fields for event details, such as the event name, date, description, image, and ticket shop link.
2. Use your CMS collection to build a list or calendar of all your events. Add ticket buttons to this list or create a dedicated event details page.
3. Add a filter to the list to display only future events.

Once your CMS and pages are set up, adding new events is simple—just create a new CMS item.

You can also use the WeTicket API, which allows you to automatically add WeTicket events to your Webflow site. Note that integrating the API requires more technical knowledge.

Conclusion

Webflow is an excellent tool for building websites. To sell tickets on Webflow, it's best to use a ticketing system like WeTicket to maximize the advantages of both platforms. There are several methods to integrate WeTicket into your Webflow site.
