Overview

About this plugin

Run your entire ticketing workflow inside WordPress. ).

Event Tickets with Ticket Scanner turns your events into scannable tickets — complete with QR code, downloadable PDF, and a built-in mobile ticket scanner for your team at the door.

Unlike ticketing platforms that charge service fees on paid tickets, this plugin adds no per-ticket commission — you keep your ticket revenue (minus your payment processor’s standard fee). Unlike other WordPress plugins, you get a visual seating plan designer and a ticket PDF designer included — not as expensive add-ons.

Active on 1,000+ WordPress sites — from small community events to large concert venues.

Who is this for?

  • Selling at the door — evening box office (POS)? The built-in Kasse is a complete point of sale: sell tickets, memberships, day passes, ride tickets and entries at the counter, with ticket types, automatic totals and a cash change calculator. No event, no online shop required
  • Concert & festival organizers — sell general admission or assigned seats with interactive seat selection
  • Theaters & venues — design your seating layout with drag & drop, let customers pick their seats
  • Sports events & arenas — handle high scan volumes with rapid-scan queueing and team scanner access
  • Conferences & congresses — give attendees a private companion portal with programme, speakers, downloads and time-controlled access, opened straight from the ticket (see “Congress & Attendee Portal” below)
  • Single events with an info app — any event, not just big congresses: build a mobile info page (schedule, speaker info, downloads, support pages) your visitors open with their ticket — no separate app to install
  • Clubs, spas, gyms & theme parks — sell multi-entry passes, family tickets, or memberships with expiration
  • Community events & fundraisers — get started in minutes with the free version (up to 50 tickets)

How it works — 3 steps

  • Install the plugin and create a ticket list under “Event Tickets”
  • Enable “Ticket Sales” on any WooCommerce product
  • Customers receive a unique QR code ticket — scan and redeem at the entrance

That’s it. No coding required. Watch the quickstart video

🎨 Visual Seating Plan Designer

Create professional venue layouts without any design tools:

  • Drag & drop seats, shapes, labels, and text onto your canvas
  • Upload venue floor plans as background images
  • Rotate, duplicate, and bulk-edit elements
  • Color-code seat categories and pricing tiers
  • Customers see a real-time interactive seat map during checkout
  • Seats are automatically blocked during checkout and released on cancel/refund

🎟️ Ticket PDF Designer

Design tickets that match your brand — not generic templates:

  • Add your logo, custom colors, header and background images
  • Position QR codes exactly where you want them
  • Create event badges for staff and VIP passes
  • Multi-page PDF support with attached documents
  • Full bleed mode for edge-to-edge designs

📱 Built-in Ticket Scanner

No extra app needed. The scanner runs in any mobile browser — or install it as a PWA:

  • Scan QR codes with your phone camera — works on iOS and Android
  • Install as PWA — add to home screen for instant launch without browser chrome
  • Fullscreen mode — immersive scanning with a single tap
  • Haptic feedback — vibration confirms valid/invalid tickets instantly
  • Grant team members scanner access via Auth Tokens (no WordPress login needed)
  • See ticket details, seat position, and venue map instantly after scan
  • Voice output confirms valid/invalid tickets for fast processing
  • Protection against fake tickets, double redemption, and brute-force attempts
  • Supports hardware barcode scanners for high-traffic entrances
  • Customizable theme color to match your brand

📲 Vollstart Wallet — All Tickets in One App

Your customers can collect tickets from multiple shops in one free app:

  • Vollstart Wallet at wallet.vollstart.com — a Progressive Web App that works on iOS, Android, and desktop
  • Tickets are added with one click from the ticket page or order email
  • QR code always available — even offline
  • Privacy first — ticket data flows directly from your shop to the customer’s browser. Vollstart never receives or stores any data
  • Learn more about security & privacy

Enable it in Settings → Digital Wallets. Free for all users.

🎓 Congress & Attendee Portal

Give ticket holders a private event portal — no extra login, no separate app. Assign a congress to any ticket product and buyers reach it straight from their ticket ID.

  • Organize content into pages — a start page plus as many pages as you need (Speakers, Programme, Downloads, Sponsors …), with a sidebar on desktop and a hamburger menu on mobile
  • Rich section types — formatted text, a day-by-day programme schedule, downloadable files, link lists, image galleries, single images, and embedded videos (paste a YouTube/Vimeo link or upload your own)
  • Password-protect individual sections for VIP or speaker-only content
  • Fast by design — the start page loads instantly and other pages are fetched on demand, so even congresses with dozens of speakers stay snappy
  • Installable & offline-friendly — the portal ships as a mini Progressive Web App
  • Time-controlled access — open the portal a set number of hours before the event and keep it available for a chosen number of days afterwards
  • Recurring events — duplicate a congress as a “new edition” in one click

Build it under the Congresses menu, assign it in the product’s Event Tickets tab, and optionally add a portal link to the order email. Included free.

Powerful Ticket Types

  • Single entry — classic one-time event ticket
  • Multi-entry passes — allow multiple scans (configurable limit)
  • Family tickets — generate multiple tickets per order item
  • Memberships & season passes — set expiration dates
  • Day chooser tickets — let customers pick their event date at checkout
  • Purchase allowance codes — require a valid ticket or access code before a product can be bought. Use it for presale and access codes, or to require a ticket from an earlier event (for example a group-stage ticket in order to buy the final). Per product you decide whether a code unlocks one purchase or several

Also supports WooCommerce

Sell standalone with the built-in checkout and Kasse — or plug into your existing WooCommerce store, whichever you prefer.

  • Works with product variants (e.g., VIP vs. General Admission)
  • Tickets auto-generate on order completion
  • Refunded orders automatically recover and recycle ticket numbers
  • Compatible with WooCommerce Subscriptions
  • Works with WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips
  • WPML compatible for multilingual stores
