Your shop in WordPress

Your ticket shop is in a page of your WordPress site in five minutes. You need no plugin: you paste a short piece of HTML into a block, and the shop appears in that spot. It automatically becomes as tall as its content, your visitor can switch language in it, and checkout opens in a new tab so that your site stays open.

What you need

• The Owner role in your back office.
• In WordPress: permission to add HTML to a page. On your own WordPress installation an administrator always has it. On WordPress.com it only works on a paid plan that allows plugins; see below.

Step 1 — Copy the code

1. In your back office, go to Settings → Organisation.
2. Scroll to the block Your shop on your own website.
3. Choose what you want:
   • under What you embed: Your whole shop, or Only: one product (for example for a page about one workshop);
   • under Language it opens in: the language of the WordPress page;
   • under Checkout opens: leave In a new tab, unless your visitor is really allowed to leave your site.
4. Click Copy the code.

Step 2 — In the block editor (Gutenberg)

1. In WordPress, open the page where the shop should go.
2. Click the + where the block should be and search for HTML.
3. Choose Custom HTML.
4. Paste the code.
5. Click Update or Publish and view the page as a visitor.

In the editor itself you only see the code; the shop only appears on the published page or in the preview.

With a page builder

Builder	Where you paste the code
Elementor	Drag the HTML widget onto the page and paste the code into it.
Divi	Add a Code module and paste the code into it.
Classic editor	Open the Text tab (not Visual) and paste the code.
WPBakery	Add the Raw HTML element and paste the code into it.

More than one shop on your site

You may put the code on several pages, and even several times with a different product: one page per workshop, each with Only: that product. The French page gets the code with French as its language, the Dutch page the one with Dutch.

A shortcode?

No separate shortcode or plugin is needed, and there is none: the HTML block does the same and keeps working with every update of your shop. If you prefer a shortcode, a "snippets" or "shortcodes" plugin can store the code under a name of your own.

Not working?

The block stays empty after saving. WordPress stripped the code. On WordPress.com this happens on a plan without plugins; on your own installation for a user who is not an administrator. Ask your site's administrator, or put a plain Buy tickets button with the link to your shop. See Sharing and embedding your ticket shop.

There is only a small link and no shop. The script is not loading. A cache or optimisation plugin (such as WP Rocket or Autoptimize) sometimes delays or combines scripts. Exclude embed.js there, or turn off JavaScript deferral for that page.

The shop is cut off or has its own scroll bar. Then there is still an old iframe with a fixed height. Replace it with the code from step 1; it grows with its content.
