  • Tickets: Retrieve information about the purchased tickets and check them in.
  • RSVP: Manage guest RSVP statuses (for RSVP events).
  • Categories: Create and assign various categories for events.
  • Orders: Manage and track ticket reservations, checkout, and orders.
  • Forms: Manage event registration forms.

Before you begin

It’s important to note the following points before starting to code:

  • Install the Wix Events & Tickets app from Wix App Market.
  • A Wix service fee of 2.5% is charged for each ticket sold in ticketed events. This fee can either be passed on to the buyer or absorbed by the event owner.
  • To use the wix-events.v2 API, import the wix-events.v2 module.
