00:00:05:29 - 00:00:32:31
Ready to see how easy it is to create ticketed events in SwiftFox? Whether it's a cozy gathering or a full blown conference, SwiftFox has you covered. Organising, selling tickets and tracking attendees like a pro. Let's dive in and get your event rolling. Head over to Events and create a new event. Entering the relevant event details. Under the settings, select Enable Tickets.
00:00:32:35 - 00:00:55:34
Now you will see a new step in the event stepper up called Tickets. Select next. Let's get started creating our tickets. First select new ticket. Give your ticket a name., set a price, and set a capacity for the number of tickets in this category that you wish to sell. Optionally, you can add a ticket description if you are using invoicing for your tickets.
00:00:55:35 - 00:01:21:42
You can add all the relevant invoice details in the financial settings. This includes item codes, account codes, and tax rates. The final step is to select Save Ticket. You can add an unlimited amount of additional ticket types by repeating these steps. Selecting next will take us to our invite list. We'll add our list and select next. Now let's start selling our tickets.
00:01:21:46 - 00:01:44:23
And for that we need to create an RSVP page. Select Create RSVP page and give it a name and create. Now to sell these tickets, there are a few essential blocks we will need to drag into our form. Firstly, the tickets block. Drag this block into your form and set the ticket types you want to make available for the form.
00:01:44:27 - 00:02:08:34
You can select one or more of your created tickets. The second block you will need to drag in is the payment method block. This will create the options for how your attendees will purchase their tickets. Select the payment provider to set the type of payment you will be offering. For this feature, you will need to have your payment provider integrated with SwiftFox, which your account managers can help you set up.
00:02:08:37 - 00:02:36:21
For this example, we will allow our attendees to pay either by credit card or invoice. When selecting invoicing, you can either integrate it with your invoicing provider, such as zero, or you can create an invoice directly from SwiftFox by putting in a reference and a due date. Once you've selected your payment options, click done. Now your audience can start buying tickets, so send out your invites or place your form on your website.
00:02:36:25 - 00:03:03:27
Once an attendee enters their details, they can select the ticket type they wish to purchase and the amount they can then select how they wish to pay. In this tutorial, we will use a credit card. Your attendees have now successfully purchased a ticket to see who has purchased a ticket. Head back into SwiftFox Events. In the invite list table, you can see who is both attending what tickets they purchased and their payment status.
00:03:03:31 - 00:03:27:35
You can also see additional ticket data by heading back to the ticket step, where you can view how many tickets have been purchased for each ticket category, who has purchased them, and how many are left. The ticket details will also appear on your purchases profile page. Click on their financial tab and you will see both the receipt and the ticket information for the event itself.
00:03:27:39 - 00:03:52:05
And that's it. You've now seen how easy it is to create and manage ticketed events in SwiftFox. From setting up tickets to tracking payments and attendees. SwiftFox provides a seamless experience for event organisers. Whether you're using credit card payments or invoicing, you've got the tools to handle everything in one place.
