There are concerts and music fests that are done in different locations and we would like people to be able to view the events based on the location so they can easily purchase a ticket to the event location that they are attending. Unfortunately, there is no setting on the Evey app that will allow you to show events based on location.
When you create an event on Evey, it will automatically create a product on your Shopify store, this product is what your customers see and where they will purchase a ticket, so how and where this product (Event product page) will show will depend on your Shopify store setting.
Though this may not be possible on the Evey app, this can be achieved by creating a collection of the events by location and adding a link to the store’s menu so the customers can easily click on the menu and see the list of events on a certain location.
To create these collections, kindly follow these steps:
First, we will need to go to the store and create a collection page of the events.
1. Log in to your Shopify admin and click on "Products" from the sections.
2. Under Products, choose "Collections."
3. On the Collections page, click on "Create Collection."
4. You will be routed to the page where you can create the event collection. So for this article let’s say you have 2 locations, New York and California.
5. Let’s create the collection for the New York events first. On the title we'll put "New York Events," The online store should be checked and you can choose Manual for the Collection type.
6. Once done click on Save.
7. Once you click on Save, it will bring you to a screen where you can add the events for the New York collection.
8. Click Browse to choose the events that will be included in the collection.
9. When you click on Browse, you will be prompted to your products list then you can choose the events located in New York.
10. You can choose your events that are in New York and then click on "Add."
11. You will now see the list of events added to the collection.
If you missed adding an event you can just click on Browse again.
12. The New York events collection has been created. Next, we will create the California events collection by following the same steps.
13. Once you've created the collection pages for New York and California events, we'll add them to the store menu. This way, customers can easily click and view all the events in either New York or California.
Adding the link to the store menu:
1. On your Shopify store, click on "Sales channels."
2. Then choose "Online Store."
3. Now on the Themes tab, Click "Customize."
4. It may depend on your theme, but for the theme on this store, the menu is on the header, so I’ll click "Header" and then click on "Main menu."
5. You will be sent to a screen that shows all the items added to your main menu. So we’ll click on the "Add menu item."
You will this appear on the side of your screen.
6. For the Name, we’ll put New York events, click on the box that says “Search or paste a link” and then choose "Collections."
7. Now choose the New York events collection that we just created and then click on "Add."
8. Do the same thing but this time add the Name it California events and then add the California events collection that we created.
9. Now you will see them added to the Menu items here:
10. You can change their order by clicking on the 6 dots on the left and then dragging them up or down.
11. Once you’re done, do not forget to hit the "Save menu."
Now, when a customer goes to your store, they will see the links on the menu and they can click it to see all the events in California or New York.
