About this plugin
BitForgeNet Guest Tickets runs the evening from the first booking to the last guest through the door. It was built for clubs, bars and party promoters — the people for whom an event is a door, a list, and a queue outside. Nothing is capped and nothing is metered. There is no per-ticket fee, no external service to sign up for, no account to create, and no telemetry. Your guest list lives in your own database, on your own server. Who it is for Clubs, bars and late-night venues Party and concert promoters Private events, galas and weddings Associations, schools and community evenings Anyone taking bookings by transfer, WhatsApp or cash rather than by card Every guest is a person, not a number A booking for five asks for five names, and each one gets their own ticket with its own QR code. One code cannot let five people in, and the door knows who is standing in front of it. Tickets that look like tickets Each one is drawn at 100 x 250 mm, 300 dpi, with the QR engraved into the artwork, and delivered as a PDF by email. Mail servers strip attachments more often than they admit, so every message also carries a download link for each guest. The door works Open the check-in station on any phone — no app to install. Point it at a ticket and it answers in one screen: valid, already used, or not for tonight. Counters update live, several phones can scan the same event at once, and when the venue’s wifi gives up — it will — there is a printable roll-call list with every guest and every ticket number on it. Payment on your terms A booking arrives pending. You confirm the payment however you actually take it — bank transfer, WhatsApp, cash at the office — and the tickets go out the moment you do. Nothing is issued for money you have not received. What the free plugin does Everything below is in this plugin. There is nothing to unlock. Unlimited events and unlimited tickets. No cap, no per-ticket fee. Event editor — a four-step wizard to create one, six tabs to refine it: dates, capacity, price, registration window, description, artwork. Organizers library — name, logo, colours, contact. Reused across events. Venues library — address, capacity, notes. Reused across events. Public booking page — one shortcode, [bitforgenet_registration] . Asks for the name of every person coming, respects capacity and the registration window, and confirms on screen. Bookings screen — search, filter by event and status, confirm payment, add an internal note, resend an email, cancel. Personal QR tickets — one per guest, rendered as a PDF, sent by email with a download link alongside. Built-in ticket design , generated in the colour of your choice and painted on demand at 300 dpi. Door check-in station for any phone, opened with a per-event door code, with live counters and multi-station scanning. Printable roll-call list for the evenings the network fails. CSV export with a column picker — bookings or guests, one event or all, every field the plugin holds, and it remembers what you ticked. Tools and data — a system check that tells you why a ticket or an email did not arrive, a test-ticket email, a database check, and an archive-and-clear that copies every booking into archive tables before emptying the live ones, behind a one-time code sent to an address you nominate. Searchable archive of everything that has been cleared. Activity log — who did what, and when. Delete-all-data on uninstall , if you tick it. Off by default. BitForgeNet Pro Pro is a separate plugin, bought from us and installed alongside this one. It does not unlock anything here — this plugin is complete on its own. Pro adds capabilities that are not in it at all: Ticket studio — bring in your own artwork, generate colour variations of it, and move every printed field where you want it with a visual field map. Seating and tables — draw the floor, assign a seat or a table to each guest, and print it on the ticket. Price categories — VIP, table, early bird, member: several prices on one event instead of one. Discount codes — fixed or percentage, limited by date or by number of uses. Online card payment — the booking pays itself and the tickets go out with no confirmation step. This is what the first Pro release is being built around. Pro is announced at https://bitforgenet.dev/ Privacy The plugin stores what a booking needs — names, email address, phone number — in your own database, on your own server. It sends nothing anywhere else. Email goes out through WordPress, which means through whatever mail service your site already uses. There is no external service, no account to create, and no telemetry.
