Sell tickets on your own website with an embedded checkout

Your website, your sale

Most ticketing tools send your visitors off to a separate page on someone else's domain to actually pay. It works, but it breaks the flow: people leave your carefully built site, the branding changes, and some of them never come back. ClearTix takes the opposite approach. You can keep buyers on your own website from the first click to the confirmation, with a small amount of code you paste once.

This works on every plan, including the free one.

The embedded checkout

The embedded checkout is a snippet you drop onto your own page. A visitor picks their tickets and pays right there, in place, without ever leaving your site. There is no redirect to a separate domain and no jarring change of look.

What matters is that nothing about the sale changes underneath:

• the buyer gets exactly the same confirmation email and tickets as they would through the hosted page;
• scanning at the door works identically;
• refunds are handled the same way;
• the order shows up in your reporting like any other.

In other words, the embed is purely about where the checkout appears. Everything behind it — payments, tickets, scanning, reporting — is the same robust flow you would get on the hosted ClearTix page.

The events widget

The second piece is the events widget. Instead of a single checkout, this shows a list or a month calendar of several events on your page — perfect for a venue, a studio or an association with a full programme. A yoga studio with a weekly schedule, for example, can surface every upcoming class straight on its own site.

You choose which events appear:

• all upcoming events automatically;
• events from a template, so new dates show up on your site the moment you schedule them;
• a manually selected set;
• or events by location.

You can narrow that further with an optional date range. Because templates feed the widget automatically, you are not editing your website every time you add a date — new sessions simply appear.

It matches your branding

The widget inherits the colours from your branding, and you can override them if you want a specific look on a specific page. For finer control, the markup uses stable class names, so your own custom CSS keeps working even as we improve the widget. Only published, upcoming events are shown; a sold-out event displays a clear sold-out badge rather than disappearing.

Option	What it does
Selection	All upcoming, from templates, manual, or by location
Date range	Optional filter on the period shown
Colours	Inherited from branding or overridden per widget
Styling	Custom CSS via stable class names

Change it later without touching your site

Each widget is referenced by an ID. That means you can change what it shows — swap the selection, adjust the date range, tweak the colours — from inside ClearTix, and the change appears on your site without anyone editing the page again. Hand the snippet to whoever maintains your website once, and you keep control afterwards.

Works wherever your site lives

Because it is a small piece of embed code, it slots into the tools most organisers already use — a WordPress page, a site builder, or hand-written HTML. If you can paste a block of code into a page, you can run a full ticket sale from it. People searching for a "ticket widget" or a way to "embed tickets in WordPress" are looking for exactly this.

When to use which

Reach for the embedded checkout when you want to sell tickets for one event inline on a landing page. Reach for the events widget when you have a programme of several events and want a browsable list or calendar. Many organisers use both: a widget on the overview page, and an embedded checkout on each event's own page.
