✨ One Thing You Wish You Knew Before Running Your First Event

🎟️ Maybe it was about setting up ticket types, when to start promoting 📣, or how to manage check-in on the big day 🧾🎉. First-timers could really use your advice!

Here are a few tips we’ve heard from experienced merchants:

  • 🎟️ Set a clear ticket limit – Avoid overselling by setting a cap and testing your settings before launch.

  • 📅 Open ticket sales early – Give people time to plan! Promo lead time makes a big difference.

  • 🗓️ Use the calendar view – It helps spot overlaps or empty days you can promote more.

  • 📧 Send a reminder email – A quick “see you soon” the day before helps reduce no-shows.

  • ✅ Test your checkout flow – Go through the purchase like a customer to catch anything confusing.

Now we want to hear from you! 💬 What do you wish you’d known before your first event?

    Built the whole ticketing page on desktop, didn’t check how it looked on mobile until a customer DMed me. Lesson: always preview on your phone before launching.
