This tab contains the codes and settings required to integrate a ticket purchase widget into your website.

What Is a Widget?

A widget is a small application or feature you can integrate into your website. It lets your visitors take an action, such as buying an event ticket, without leaving your site.

At Thepointofsale.com, we offer both a purchase window and a shopping cart widget.

Please note that we only provide the integration codes and scripts. Therefore, the final result on your site may differ from the preview.

Distinction Between Purchase Window and Shopping Cart Widgets

Widget

Definition

Example

Purchase Window

An element of a page added to your website that allows visitors to buy tickets.

The purchase window displays all available rates.

Shopping Cart

A button that’s added to your website, which opens a pop-up window that allows visitors to buy tickets.

The shopping cart lets you segment by rate if needed.


Understanding the Tab’s Content

The definitions below will help you understand which elements to configure in the Embed tab.

Settings Section

This section lets you configure your widget to your needs and preferences.

Widget type: This field allows you to determine whether you wish to integrate a purchase window or a shopping cart into your website.

Language: This field lets you choose the language your widget displays in. Please note that buyers will still be able to select their preferred language.

Full Width: Tick this option to have the window height automatically adjust to the buyer's device screen. Whether your site is viewed on a mobile device, tablet, or computer, the widget will be displayed in full-screen mode.

Our team strongly recommends using this option to maximize ticket sales accessibility.

Color: Select the display colour for buttons and clickable links to match our widget to your website. You can do this using the colour wheel or by entering the corresponding HEX code.

Scheme: This field lets you choose between light and dark display modes, based on your preference and your website's design.

Code to use on your website Section

Each widget has a unique script, tailored to your needs based on your settings.

Whenever you change a field in the Settings section, the embed code is automatically updated.

When you are satisfied with the widget settings, copy the script code and paste it into the desired location on your website.

Identifier to use on WordPress Section

In this section, you will find the information you need to integrate your ticket sales widget into your WordPress website.

If this is your first time, you will first need to download the required extension by clicking on the button to the right of the section title.

Once the extension is installed, you can copy the identifier and paste it into the appropriate place in your WordPress site settings.
