Events

Overview

When you’re running Tickera alongside Bridge for WooCommerce, the event creation process remains identical to the standalone Tickera setup. However, the way tickets and checkout are handled differs because WooCommerce takes over the sales process while Tickera manages event and ticket data.

If you’re already familiar with creating events in Tickera, you’ll feel right at home here - the same steps apply.

For a full step-by-step guide, see the detailed article on creating events in Tickera.

How event creation works with WooCommerce

When Bridge for WooCommerce is active, events are still created in Tickera -> Events, just as you would normally do. The difference lies in how those events are later linked to WooCommerce products representing ticket types.

In this setup:

• The event defines all the key details — event name, date, location, and description.
• WooCommerce handles pricing, inventory, and checkout.
• Tickera handles ticket generation and check-in.

That means your event in Tickera acts as a “container” that WooCommerce ticket products connect to.

What remains the same

All event fields and options (event title, description, date and time, location, terms and conditions, logos, and so on) behave exactly the same as in the standalone Tickera setup. You can still use both the classic editor and Gutenberg blocks to design your event page.

What changes with Bridge for WooCommerce

While the event creation itself stays identical, a few practical differences are worth noting:

• Ticket sales are now handled through WooCommerce products rather than Tickera ticket types.
• Any WooCommerce pricing rules, coupons, or taxes will apply automatically at checkout.
• The event page still displays ticket purchase options, but those buttons now connect to WooCommerce products behind the scenes.
• Order management and payment gateways are handled entirely by WooCommerce.

Summary

Creating an event while using Bridge for WooCommerce is the same as creating one in standalone Tickera. The key difference is that ticket sales, payments, and order processing are delegated to WooCommerce, while Tickera remains in charge of tickets, attendees, and check-ins.
