Connection of Eventbrite
This guide will show to setup the Registrix Service in order to use the Eventbrite Platform to sell tickets for an event, including setting up the webhooks, API Keys.
The Eventbrite platform allows you to sell online tickets for events and be able to promote the selling of the tickets on the Eventbrite Platform as well as getting Eventbrite Widgets and be able to sell tickets on other websites. Once everything is configured correctly, then every ticket sale that occurs, no matter from what site, the ticket purchaser’s information will then be sent to the Registrix platform. That purchaser would be able to log into Registrix about 30 seconds after the sale.
There are two services that needs to be setup to complete the entire project. There is the WebHook service that must be setup and there is the API setup that must occur.
The API will allow you to sync all of the ticket sales from Eventbrite and place the viewer data into Registrix as Approved List viewers. This sync manly occurs only when you have sold tickets prior to activating the webhook or if the webhook goes offline.
You will also be able to add the Get a Ticket button on the Registrix Microsite service in case a viewer is shared a link to the Registrix service.
You must be one of the eTicketing Participant modes.
