Step 2: Set Up Your Payment Gateway

To be able to collect money for your tickets, you need to create a Stripe account if you don't already have one. Stripe is a secure online payment processor that will handle the financial transactions for your ticket sales. Once you've set up your account, link it to PartyLabz.

Please navigate to the "My Events" page and from there to the "Stripe" page. To start, click on the "Connect with Stripe" button and you will get redirected to Stripe where you will be asked some questions. When connection is established you will be redirected back to our Stripe page under your account. This connection ensures that the money from ticket sales goes straight to your Stripe account.

Step 3: Configure Your Event for Ticket Sales

On your event's "Event Settings" page, select the "Ticketed" event type. This setting enables the ticket selling features for your event.

Step 4: Create Ticket Types

Defining ticket types is essential for managing sales. On the "Ticket Types" page, you can specify ticket names, prices, available quantities, and other parameters. This flexibility allows you to cater to different audiences, such as early birds, VIPs, or group sales.

Step 5: Test Your Ticket Sales

Before promoting your event, it's recommended to test the ticket selling process. PartyLabz offers a "Test mode" on the "Ticket Settings" page, allowing you to simulate transactions without incurring actual charges. Use a test credit card to ensure everything runs smoothly.

To buy a test ticket with a test credit card, go to the event preview and click on the "Buy Tickets" (the button name is configured on the "RSVP Settings" page).

In test mode the website will let you know what credit card number and other credentials to enter. In life mode guests will need to enter their real credit card number or use Google Pay or Apple Pay to pay for your tickets.

If the payment goes well, user will be redirected to the page where purchased tickets are listed:

Step 6: Promote Your Event

With your event website and ticket sales configured, it's time to spread the word. The "Dashboard" page of your event provides a URL and QR code for easy sharing. Please share your event website URL or QR-code on social media, through press releases, by distributing flyers or in any other way that suits you best.

Step 7: Monitor Ticket Sales

Keep an eye on your ticket sales progress on the "Sold Tickets" page. Here, you'll find details about each ticket sold.

On this page you can see sold tickets summary as well as each sold ticket details. Also, you can issue a refund per ticket.

Buyers information is available on the "Guest List" page:

You can manage guests here, change their names, email addresses and other information. This is where you can also mark guests as arrived or departed to your event. For this, click on the three dots button next to the guest name and select the corresponding menu item.

The page "Transactions" lets you see sales transactions
