Enable and Configure WooCommerce in Eventin #

To enable WooCommerce in Eventin, follow these steps:

Additional WooCommerce Options in Eventin #

• After Adding to Cart, Redirect to:
  Decide whether customers are redirected to a specific page after adding tickets to their cart.
• Count Refunded / Failed Booking in Purchase Report:
  Choose whether to include refunded or failed bookings in sales reports.
• Show Print and Download Invoice Button:
  Enable attendees to print or download their invoices directly.
• Require Account Login:
  Decide if users must log in before completing a purchase.
• Show Billing Info:
  This option controls whether the WooCommerce billing fields (such as name, address, phone, etc.) appear during checkout for event ticket purchases.
  • When Disabled:
    Customers can skip the standard WooCommerce billing form. This is especially useful for event organizers who already collect attendee information through Eventin’s registration form and don’t want customers to fill in redundant details. It makes the checkout process faster and simpler—ideal for bulk ticket purchases.
  • When Enabled:
    All WooCommerce billing fields will be displayed to your customers during checkout. This is helpful if you need full billing details for invoicing, accounting, or record-keeping purposes.
  • 👉 We’ve added this flexibility so that organizers can decide whether they want a streamlined checkout (without extra billing fields) or a detailed one (with complete billing information).
• Include Event Details in WooCommerce Cart & Invoice Email:
  Automatically add event details in the cart and confirmation emails.

These options allow you to customize the entire checkout process and tailor it to your event’s needs.
