Guides

The instructions for your first three days. They are short on purpose: the rest gets added as people ask for it.

Getting ready

1. Installing and activating

Ten minutes from the file to a working panel. What you need first, and the two common snags.

2. The settings you can’t skip

Four things to set once: venue, currency, who sends the email, time zone.

3. Your first event

The fields that matter, the draft before you publish, and repeat performances.

4. Tickets and discounts

The price list, tickets that include a drink, and the four kinds of discount.

Selling and taking money

5. Taking payments online

Card, PayPal, Satispay or pay at the door. The money goes straight to your account.

6. The night itself

Door checks with several people, desk sales, drinks included, and closing the till.

7. Events on your own site

The three shortcodes you will almost always want, and how to change how pages look.

8. Moving to a paid plan

Thirty days with no card, what happens to your data, and what remains if you cancel.

If you need something that isn’t here, write to me: what you ask becomes the next guide.
