CampTix is an easy to use event ticketing plugin for WordPress.
After installing and activating the plugin, you'll need to setup your PayPal API key in Tickets > Setup. PayPal has a good article on Obtaining API Credentials. If you're using the PayPal Sandbox, make sure you enable Sandbox Mode in CampTix. Click here for more information about the Sandbox.
After your PayPal account has been set up, browse to Tickets and create a new ticket, just like you would create a new post or page. Tickets have a few different options and fields, here's a quick overview:
- Ticket Title - as the name suggests, this is the ticket title which will be displayed on the ticketing page, an will appear in your PayPal reports and receipts
- Ticket Excerpt - this is a description of what the ticket includes, like lunch, a T-shirt, parking and so on. The excerpt will appear below the ticket title on the ticketing page.
- Price - the price of one ticket in the selected currency. You can change the currency Tickets > Setup
- Quantity - the maximum number of tickets to sell. As soon as this amount of tickets is sold, the ticket is no longer visible on the ticketing page.
- Availability - optional fields to restrict the availability of the ticket purchase to certain dates. You can use these fields to create early-bird tickets at a cheaper price. To avoid selling tickets during or after your event, it's a good idea to set the tickets end date to the date of your event.
- Questions - you can use this section to build the form users have to fill in, before they can purchase their tickets.
You can save your ticket at any time, and as soon as you're comfortable with the ticket settings, hit Publish.
