Step 2: Set Up Your Payment Gateway

To start selling ticketss, you need to create a Stripe account if you don't already have one. Stripe is a secure online payment processor that will handle the financial transactions for your ticket sales. Once you've set up your account, link it to PartyLabz.

Go to the "My Events" page within PartyLabz. From there, navigate to the "Stripe" page and click on the "Connect with Stripe" button. You'll be redirected to Stripe to complete the connection process.

Step 3: Set Up Your Ticketing Options

Next, go to the "Ticket Settings" page to set your preferred currency, taxes, and a transaction descriptor that will appear on attendees' credit card statements.

From your event Dashboard, go to "Ticket Settings" to configure your ticketing options. Here you can choose your preferred currency, add any necessary taxes, and customize how the transaction appears on credit card statements.

Then, head over to "Ticket Types" to create your different ticket options (like early bird or VIP), set their prices, and specify how many of each are available.

Step 4: Test Before You Launch

Before promoting your event, it's crucial to test the ticket selling process. Enable "Test mode" on the "Ticket Settings" page. This allows you to simulate transactions without actual charges.

To buy a test ticket with a test credit card, go to the event preview and click on the "Buy Tickets" (the button name is configured on the "RSVP Settings" page).
