EVENTS MODULE — INCLUDED WITH EVERY PLAN
Create Events. Sell Tickets.
Check In Attendees. All From Your CRM.

FULL EVENT LIFECYCLE
Create, Register, Pay, Check In, Follow Up
Every step of event management in one place — no separate ticketing platform, no check-in app, no CRM sync.
Paid Ticketing
Multiple ticket types per event with Stripe payments. Early bird pricing, member pricing, members-only tickets, and automatic refunds on cancellation.
QR Code Check-In
Camera-based QR scanner or manual name/email search. Live check-in stats, auto-tag contacts on attendance, and trigger CRM automations.
Recurring Series
Daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly. Day-of-week and week-of-month rules, exception dates, and edit single/future/all scope.
Waitlist & Auto-Promote
When events sell out, contacts join the waitlist from the public page. Auto-promote when spots open. Ordered positions with admin controls.
Public Pages & Calendar
Public event pages with registration forms and payment. Embeddable calendar (month + list views), .ics downloads, and subscription feeds.
CRM Automation
Registrations create contacts, log to timelines, auto-tag, and fire automation hooks. Check-ins trigger separate follow-up workflows.

MCE Events vs. The Competition
Eventbrite takes 10–14% per ticket and owns your attendee data. WordPress event plugins don’t have a CRM. We do both.
