About Tickera – Sell Tickets & Manage Events
From the official readme · v3.6.0.5Description
Tickera lets you sell tickets on WordPress, manage event registration, and run ticket sales end-to-end on your own domain. Create an event, add tickets, design beautiful PDF tickets with the built-in drag & drop Ticket Designer, deliver them with QR/Barcodes, and check in attendees at the door.

“These guys offer a whole different level of service… give them a go!” — James Farmer, WPMU DEV
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎨 Design beautiful tickets (new in 3.6)
Make tickets people actually want to keep. The built-in Ticket Designer is a drag & drop editor with a live, pixel-perfect PDF preview — what you see on screen is exactly what your attendees receive. Start from a library of ready-made templates (Wedding, Concert, Conference, Gala Dinner, Festival, Theatre and more), or build your own unlimited designs and assign them per event or per ticket type.
You can also restyle your storefront with selectable front-end themes (Minimal, Bold, or Dark) for a clean, modern look on your event, cart and checkout pages — or keep your own theme’s styling. Set it under Tickera > Settings > Appearance.
Manage events & event registration
Create and update events in WordPress, then capture event registration details for each attendee.
🧠 How it works
- Choose your payment gateway.
- Create an event and add one or more ticket types (e.g., Standard, VIP).
- Share your ticket sales page and take orders.
- Buyers receive PDF tickets with QR/Barcodes.
- At the venue, check in attendees with scanners, the Checkinera apps (premium), or the web app.

- Fixed: Plugin load order so add-on settings (e.g. Slack, Pushover) reliably appear under Settings.
- Fixed: Embedded font rendering in generated ticket PDFs so the PDF matches the on-screen design.
