A lot of events create their own sales and marketing website but then have to redirect visitors to an external page that looks completely different when it comes time to sell tickets. Today we are solving this problem by letting you sell tickets right on your own website. Think of it as Disqus for events and yes, it even works with paid tickets.

We are calling this feature Integrated Events and it is going to be great for users who want to control the full user experience and sales funnel for their events.

First, give it a try

Give it a shot and see what your users will see. Sign up for our sample event using the button below:

How does it work?

All you need to do is add the following piece of JavaScript to your website:

      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://guestlistapp.com/javascripts/guestlist-embed.js"></script>

Then simply add a class called “guestlist-event-ID”, where ID is the ID of your event, to any object on your website. You can get the ID of your event by going to your public page and copying the number out of the URL.

For example, if you wanted to create a link that said “Buy Tickets” you could use this code:

Buy Tickets

When users click this link a lightbox will appear that lets them choose their tickets and fill in their attendee information. If there is money to be paid we will send them over to PayPal for payment and then automatically send them back to your website once they are done. Nothing could be simpler.

Customizing the dialog

By default the title of the lighbox is “Register for Event”. You can override it partially by specifying a term to be used instead of “Event”. Simply add a title tag to your link with the term you want to use. You can specify a title of up to 25 characters long.
