Why juggle three different tools to sell tickets, collect registrations, and take donations when one Ticketing Page can do it all? With everything in one spot, you can spend less time managing logistics and more time looking forward to the big day. Here's how to build and publish your page from start to finish.
Make sure you're signed in to your SignUpGenius account before you begin.
If this is your first time creating a payment page, you'll see a setup screen with a few options to get started. We'll also ask for some information we need so you can collect payments. You don't have to complete this part right away, but you will need to before you can withdraw funds.
If you've created a payment page before, click Create from your Dashboard, select Create, and choose Ticketing.
Add your event details
Enter your event title, description, and a contact name for participant questions. If your event is in person, add the date, time, and location.
From here, you can also:
- Add FAQs to answer common questions upfront
- Set a fundraising goal and choose whether to show it to participants
Click Save when you're ready.
Add your items
Choose from three item types:
- Donation item or preset donation
- Basic item
- Item with variations (like a t-shirt in multiple sizes)
- Scannable Ticket (coming Soon!)
For a donation item: Enter a name, choose a fixed or open amount, add a description and photo, and set up any item-level fundraising goals or questions.
For a basic item: Enter the name, cost, and description, then configure availability, discounts, and any item-level questions.
For an item with variations: Add the title and define your variations. Set the price and quantity at the variation level, add a description, and add any item-level questions.
Click Preview at any time to see how your page looks.
Build your form
Drag basic fields onto the form to collect standard information, like name and address. Add custom questions for anything not covered by the default options.
Need participants to agree to terms before registering? Add a waiver text block and signature line.
Configure your payment settings
Now for the fun part — making sure the money lands where it should. You can:
- Allow or restrict eCheck or physical payments
- Cover transaction fees for your participants
- Add tax, if applicable
- Add a shipping fee if you're mailing items
- Create discount codes
- Schedule your page to open and close automatically, or restrict access with a code
No need to touch every option here. Pick what fits your event and skip the rest.
Publish and share
Give your page one last look, then click Publish to send it out into the world. Heads up: publishing doesn't notify anyone on its own, so it's on you to spread the word. Get your page in front of people by:
- Sending or posting a direct link
- Adding a custom button to your website
- Generating a QR code for printed materials
