Tickera – Sell Tickets & Manage Events vs TicketPayGo Lite

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. You keep the revenue — no middleman fees taken by Tickera. For ticket scanning, use integrated Barcode readers. If you want mobile check-in on phones, our premium Checkinera apps for iOS/Android enable blazing-fast scanning – even offline after sync. There’s also a Checkinera web app that turns any modern browser into a fully-fledged check-in desk. ✅ Key features 🎟️ Sell event tickets on your site – you keep the revenue 🗂️ Manage events in WordPress — create, edit, duplicate, set dates/capacity, and control ticket types 🎨 Built-in drag & drop Ticket Designer with a live PDF preview, unlimited designs, and ready-made templates 🧾 PDF tickets with embedded QR/Barcode for fast entry 🧍 Event registration with buyer and attendee fields 💸 Ticket sales tools: multiple ticket types, limits, discount codes, fees, taxes 🚀 Fast check-in with barcode readers, Checkinera mobile apps (premium), or the web app 🧩 Works with most WordPress themes 🧪 Developer-friendly (actions and filters for customization) 🏷️ White-label ready 🕸️ Multisite support ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ “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.
