How Online Ticket Selling Works
Selling tickets online means creating an event page, defining your ticket types and pricing, and sharing an event link so attendees can buy directly, instead of selling tickets manually or over individual transfers. Below is the general process, and how Bookify supports each step.
Step 1 — Create an Organizer Account
Start by creating an organizer account on Bookify. This account is your entry point to the dashboard that manages all of your events.
Step 2 — Create Your Event
Once your account is set up, create a new event from the dashboard.
Step 3 — Add Event Information
Add your event's core details, such as name, description, date, time, venue or location, and images. Only fill in the fields that are actually relevant to your event.
Step 4 — Create Ticket Types
Set up the ticket types your event needs, such as normal or VIP, with price and available quantity for each. Free tickets can also be offered where needed.
Step 5 — Configure Ticket Sales
Configure your event's sales settings from the dashboard to match how your event should work.
Step 6 — Enable Payment Options
Customers can pay with Mada, Apple Pay, Tamara, Visa, and Mastercard, with payments handled directly through Bookify.
Step 7 — Publish the Event
Once your event is fully set up, publish it so its ticket link becomes available to attendees.
Step 8 — Share the Ticket Link
Share the event link through whichever channels reach your audience, so attendees can buy directly without a manual back-and-forth.
Step 9 — Monitor Sales and Bookings
Track ticket sales and bookings in real time from the dashboard, with detailed reports on sales, revenue, and attendance.
Step 10 — Manage Attendees / Check-In
On the day of the event, your team scans tickets from a phone using the Bookify scanning app, and every check-in is reflected instantly in the dashboard so you can see live capacity.
