Ticketing plugin for WordPress
040 Ticket puts a ticket shop on your own WordPress site, takes payment through Mollie, emails every ticket with its own QR code, and checks guests in with a phone at the door. No WooCommerce, no extra plugins, no fee per ticket.
Tested at several events with up to 500 attendees.
How it works
Your visitors never leave your website to buy, and your door staff never need a laptop.
1 The buyer orders
First name, last name, email, number of tickets, a discount code if you use them, and the payment method. The total updates with every choice, then Mollie takes the payment and sends the buyer straight back to your page.
2 Tickets arrive by email
An order for three gets three emails, marked "Ticket 1 of 3" and so on, so each one can be forwarded to the friend who uses it. The QR is also attached as an image, so it still works on a phone without signal.
3 Scan at the door
Green means let them in. Amber means this ticket was already used, with the time of the first scan. Red means the ticket is unknown or for another event. Staff learn it in a minute.

24 characters, printed under the QR. If a cracked screen won't scan, staff tap "Type a code" and enter it by hand.
The door scanner
The Android app comes with the plugin. Install it from a QR code in your settings, scan a second code to connect, pick the event, and the camera starts reading tickets one after another.
Pick the eventEvery event with how many guests are already inside.
CHECK INValid ticket. Give a bracelet. Shows which ticket of a group order it is.
Already checked inWith the exact time of the first scan, so a screenshot shared with a friend gets caught.
Another eventA real ticket, but for a different night. The screen names which one.
Unknown ticketNot a ticket from your site. Nothing gets past.
Inside WordPress
No separate dashboard to learn. If you can write a WordPress page, you can run your ticket sales. Click through the screens below.
Every event with its date, price, tickets sold against capacity, and how many guests are checked in. Copy the shortcode next to it onto any page and the order form appears.
All screenshots are taken from a working copy of 040 Ticket 1.5.1 on a demo site filled with example names and orders.
What's in the box
iDEAL, cards, Bancontact, bank transfer and every other method you switch on in Mollie. The buyer picks it on your form and skips Mollie's choice screen.
Set a fixed amount and a percentage per method. The plugin works out the surcharge so the full ticket price is left after Mollie takes its share.
A percentage or an amount off per ticket, for one event or all, with a first and last day and a limit on uses. A 100% code issues free tickets without Mollie.
Edit the HTML with codes like [first_name] and [qr_code], and send yourself a test before buyers see it.
Search by name, email, ticket code or order number. Check in by hand, resend a ticket, cancel an unpaid order, download a CSV.
Tickets in an unpaid order stay reserved until Mollie reports the payment. Every order is checked on the server, so even a cached page cannot sell one ticket too many.
Set the button colour, field colours, corners and width in Settings. Works with Divi and other page builders.
Buyer texts follow your site's language. Every sentence can be changed with one WordPress filter.
Orders and tickets live in your own WordPress database. Random 8-digit order numbers don't reveal how much you sold.
Proven at real events
040 Ticket has been used at several events with up to 500 people coming through the door. The plugin itself can handle a lot more than that. What sets the limit is the server your WordPress site runs on.
A ticket shop puts load on a site at exactly the moments that matter most:
040 Ticket is made by the team behind 040Hosting, so this is the host we know it runs best on. For any event where a slow site would cost you sales or a queue at the door, this is where we recommend you run it.
Already have hosting you trust? 040 Ticket runs on any host that meets the requirements below. Just test with a few hundred orders before your big night.

Setting up takes four steps: upload the plugin, paste your Mollie key, add an event, and put its shortcode on a page.
Questions
No. 040 Ticket is one plugin with no dependencies. It talks to Mollie directly and keeps its own tables in your WordPress database.
No, and that is deliberate. Only the server can guarantee that two phones never both let the same ticket in. Make sure the door has mobile data or Wi-Fi. Buyers, on the other hand, can show their ticket offline: the QR code is attached to every email as an image they can save.
Yes, up to 10 per order by default. Each ticket arrives in its own email with its own QR code, so the buyer can forward one to each friend. At the door the scanner shows "Multi ticket 2 of 3" and how many of the group are already inside.
Yes, per payment method, as a fixed amount, a percentage or both. Do check with your accountant first: EU and Dutch rules limit surcharges to consumers for several common methods.
Refund the payment in your Mollie dashboard, then delete the ticket under Attendees. Its place goes back on sale.
Yes. Make a discount code of 100% and set a limit on how many orders may use it. Those tickets are issued and emailed at once, without a trip to Mollie.
Not in this version, on purpose. 040 Ticket does one price per event very well. For a separate VIP price, add it as a second event.
No. Removing the plugin never deletes your orders or tickets. The tables stay in your database until you drop them yourself.
