About this plugin
Add event ticketing to WordPress with one shortcode — and keep checkout on your own site.
Ticket Spot connects your WordPress site to your Ticket Spot account. Build a widget in the dashboard, paste one shortcode into any page or post, and visitors browse events, choose tickets and pay without ever leaving your domain.
How it works
- Install and activate this plugin (it is free, and it stays free).
- Go to Settings → Ticket Spot and sign in.
- In your Ticket Spot dashboard, build a widget — a calendar layout or a list of events — and copy its widget ID.
- Paste [ticket_spot widget_id="your-widget-id"] into any page, post or block.
That is the whole setup. widget_id is the only attribute the shortcode takes: what the widget shows and how it looks are properties of the widget, set once in the dashboard, so you never edit the shortcode again to change the design.
Your events stay in your Ticket Spot account
Nothing about your events is stored in WordPress. A theme update or a plugin conflict cannot corrupt an order or interrupt a sale that is mid-checkout.
What you get on every plan, including Free
- Embedded checkout on your own page — no redirect to a third-party checkout domain
- Free tickets and RSVPs from the moment you sign up
- Event categories, so one widget can show a subset of your events
- Ticket pricing and capacity controls
