Event Categories

Event Categories

Event categories help you group and organize your events. Whether you’re running multiple events at once or planning recurring ones, categories make it easier to keep everything structured and simple to navigate. Categories also give you additional control when displaying events on your website, filtering them in lists, or managing them in the admin.

When using Tickera together with Bridge for WooCommerce, event categories behave exactly the same as in standalone Tickera. They remain a Tickera feature and are managed entirely within Tickera’s event editor. WooCommerce does not influence or replace event categories.

How event categories work with WooCommerce

Even though WooCommerce takes over the checkout process when Bridge for WooCommerce is active, event categories continue to live in Tickera. You create and assign event categories from Tickera -> Event Categories, and you choose the category when editing an event.

Categories are purely organizational. They do not impact pricing, inventory, or ticket behavior. Their purpose is to help you group events and make them easier to filter, both in the backend and on the front end if your theme or shortcodes support filtering.

What remains the same

All category functionality is identical to standalone Tickera:

You can create as many categories as needed, assign events to one or more categories, and use those categories to filter your event listings. Categories can also be used in shortcodes, widgets, and page builders when listing or promoting events.

What changes with Bridge for WooCommerce

When using Bridge, the only thing that changes is how tickets are sold. Event categories remain a Tickera-only feature. WooCommerce has its own taxonomy for products, but it does not interact with Tickera event categories.

Events can have categories in Tickera, and WooCommerce ticket products can have their own product categories. These two are separate and independent, allowing you to organize events and ticket products in a way that best fits your workflow.

Summary

Event categories remain unchanged when using Bridge for WooCommerce. You create and assign categories in Tickera just like in standalone mode, and use them to keep your events organized and easy to filter. WooCommerce manages the selling process, but event categorization stays fully within Tickera.
