There are a few reasons why you might want to be familiar with the widget functionality:
It creates a smoother ticket-buying experience by letting patrons purchase directly on your own website without being redirected elsewhere
It helps drive more conversions since real-time updates and embedded convenience often lead to faster decisions and more ticket sales
It gives you control over how shows are displayed
Widget Configuration Page
On this page you can configure the widget for your specific Host/CMS. When configuring, you can select:
Widget Style: Calendar View, List View, Gallery View, Add-ons, Donations, Subscriptions.
Productions: Choose a single production, or your whole season to display on your widget.
Widget Mode: Inline or Modal
Inline: Sits flush on your website and embeds directly onto the body of your website and displays all widget content as people scroll.
Modal: A smaller version of list view and only available for single production usage.
Open Events in a New Tab: Decide if you want your events to open in a new window.
Display Availability Statuses: Allow patrons to see if a show has Good Availability, is Selling Fast, or is Sold Out.
Sold Out will always show regardless.
