Is there a built-in feature in Webflow for setting up ticket sales on a client's site for their events, or would I need to use a third-party tool like Eventbrite?
TL;DR
- Webflow lacks native ticketing features, so use a third-party service like Eventbrite or Ticket Tailor.
- Embed the service’s widget or link into Webflow using an Embed element or button, and optionally style with custom CSS.
Webflow does not have a built-in ticket sales system, so you'll need to use a third-party tool like Eventbrite or integrate with another external service.
1. No Native Ticket Sales Support
- Webflow's native CMS and Ecommerce features do not support ticketing logic like seat selection, timed access, or ticket caps.
- It doesn’t have tools for event check-in, tiered pricing, or QR-code-based entry.
2. Use a Third-Party Platform Like Eventbrite
- Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor, Airtable + Zapier, or Typeform + Stripe are popular tools for ticket sales.
- These platforms support features like:
- Time-based entries
- Discount codes
- Automated emails
- Attendee tracking
3. Embed the Third-Party Widget or Form
- From Eventbrite or your chosen tool, generate the embed code for a widget or checkout form.
- In Webflow:
- Use an Embed element and paste in the provided code.
- Or link a button to a hosted Eventbrite event page.
4. Styling Embedded Widgets
- Some embedded widgets/custom checkouts can be styled via custom CSS, but styling control is limited compared to native Webflow elements.
- Test responsiveness and mobile usability after embedding.
Summary
Webflow doesn’t support native ticket sales. To sell tickets for client events, you’ll need to use a third-party service like Eventbrite, then embed its checkout widget or link to the booking page within your Webflow site.
