– Display revenue on front end
you want to display live ticket revenue on the front of your site — today’s sales total, last 30 days, last week — for fundraisers (“$X raised so far!”), launch-day promotional pages (“Tickets sold this morning: $Y”), sponsor pitches (“we’ve sold $Z to date”), or as social proof on event pages. The data lives in your Tickera database; this small add-on exposes it via shortcodes.
The add-on
- Download: tickera_sales_stats_shortcode.zip
- WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, install, activate.
- Use the shortcodes on any page or post.
The shortcodes
Today’s revenue
[tc_sale_stats range="1" title="Today's sales: "]
Renders something like: Today’s sales: $1,247.00. Update happens live — each new sale increments the displayed total.
Past 30 days revenue
[tc_sale_stats range="30" title="Last 30 days sales: "]
Renders: Last 30 days sales: $34,510.00. Useful for monthly snapshots, charity progress, sponsor-pitch pages.
Custom title
The title="" parameter is whatever prefix you want — replace with your own copy: “Money raised:” or “Donated so far:” or “Tickets sold this month: $”.
Best use cases
- Charity / fundraiser thermometer. Pair the shortcode with a CSS-animated progress bar — drive donations by showing how close you are to goal.
- Launch-day social pages. Embed in a landing page you share on social media; viewers see real-time excitement.
- Sponsor pitch decks. Link sponsors to a page showing your sales velocity — easier to negotiate sponsorship rates when the numbers are right there.
- Internal team dashboards. A WordPress page bookmarked by your team showing today’s revenue at a glance.
Privacy and authenticity caveats
- Don’t display absolute revenue if it would damage perceived event scarcity. “We’ve made $80,000” might make late buyers feel late and not bother. Sometimes a percentage-to-goal or ticket-count works better than dollar amount.
- Don’t fake it. The shortcode pulls from real database orders. If you front-load a goal display in the first hour, you’ll be embarrassed at hour two when it hasn’t moved.
- Privacy: aggregated only. The shortcode shows totals, not individual buyer info — safe to display publicly.
Standalone only — not Bridge mode
This add-on reads from Tickera’s standalone order tables. In Bridge for WooCommerce mode, sales live in WooCommerce tables — use a WooCommerce stats plugin or query wp_wc_order_stats directly instead. The shortcode in this add-on won’t pick up Bridge-mode sales.
Going beyond: dashboard widgets and front-end stats
For event-by-event sales (not aggregate), see event ticketing stats on the front end. For admin-side at-a-glance, see dashboard widgets.
