Events
Turn your events into products that sell
Your events and services are digital products. This is the basic premise behind FooEvents and it’s what makes it possible to leverage WordPress and the WooCommerce ecosystem to create powerful event and ticketing websites in record time. No coding, no ticket fees, no commission!
Sell tickets from your own website
FooEvents lets you sell event tickets directly from your WordPress website, giving you full control over your checkout, customer data, payments, branding, and ticket revenue.
Create events for different formats
Run simple one-day events or build more advanced setups for conferences, classes, shows, sports fixtures, fundraisers, virtual events, and more.
No commission or ticket fees
Payments are processed through your chosen WooCommerce payment gateway, so there are no per-ticket commission fees from FooEvents.
Run events directly from WooCommerce
FooEvents works differently from traditional event platforms by turning WooCommerce products into fully functional events. This means you can use the power and flexibility of WooCommerce to sell tickets, take bookings, manage attendees, accept payments, send tickets, and control the entire event experience from your own WordPress website.
