Step‑by‑Step Guide: How to Sell Tickets via an Invitation
Planning an event can be stressful—but managing tickets doesn’t have to be. With Sendo Invitations, you can create beautiful, branded invitations and sell tickets directly through them. This eliminates the need for clunky third‑party ticketing platforms, keeps your event communications seamless, and ensures a better experience for both you and your guests.
Here’s a step‑by‑step guide to selling tickets through your online invitations, plus why it’s the smarter choice for event organizers.
Step 1: Create your event invitation
Start by selecting one of Sendo’s customizable invitation templates. Whether you’re hosting a fundraiser, concert, corporate event, or holiday party, you can design your invite to match your event’s theme and brand. Add event details like date, time, and location—your invitation doubles as both a ticketing hub and guest communication tool.
Pro Tip: Use images, animations, or a school or company logo to make your invitation stand out.
Step 2: Create an event ticket
When setting up your invitation, create an event ticket. From here, you can:
- Set ticket prices (including multiple tiers or VIP options)
- Offer free or paid ticket types
- Limit ticket quantities to control capacity
- Choose accepted payment methods (credit card, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, etc)
Everything is built right into your event page—no need to send guests to an outside platform.
Step 3: Customize your guest experience
Guests can RSVP and purchase tickets in one smooth process. Once they confirm, they’ll receive an email confirmation and digital ticket automatically.
Bonus Features:
- QR code check-in for easy entry
- Guest reminders to reduce no-shows
- Guest surveys to collect preferences or feedback
Step 4: Track sales and attendance in real time
Sendo provides you with a live dashboard where you can monitor ticket sales, payments, and RSVPs. This helps you:
- Forecast attendance accurately
- Adjust your marketing strategy if needed
- Collect funds quickly and securely
No juggling spreadsheets or reconciling data from multiple platforms.
