Items and tickets

How to create tickets, consumables, food and bundles, and how to manage availability.

Everything you sell for an event is an item. Items are managed on the Item Management page.

To open it, open the event and choose Items in the side menu. From the event editor you can also use Open Items Manager on the Commerce tab.

Item types

TicketEntry to the event. Checked at the gate.
ConsumableA drink or similar. Redeemed with its QR during the event.
FoodA dish. When scanned, it is sent to the kitchen.
BundleA set of other items sold at one price.

  5. In Max Items Per Order, you can limit how many one customer buys in a single order. Leave it empty to use the event's limit.
  6. Tickets only: if needed, set Sale Start Date and Sale End Date.

Add a bundle

  1. Press Add Bundle.
  2. Fill in Bundle Name and Bundle Price.
  3. If needed, set Quantity (optional), Sale Start Date and Sale End Date.
  4. Under Contained Items, pick an item with Select an item and enter how many the bundle includes.
  5. Press Add Item to include more items.
  6. Press Create Bundle.

A bundle needs a price and at least one contained item.

A bundle cannot be sold while one of its contained items is sold out. If the contained items cannot cover one bundle, Festivio does not save the bundle and lists the items that fall short.

Edit, hide and reorder

In the Items list, items are grouped into Tickets, Bundles, Consumables and Food.

  • Visible controls whether the item appears on the event page.
  • Purchasable controls whether the item can be bought.
  • The arrows move the item up or down within its group.
  • The Edit icon opens the Edit Item page.
  • The Delete icon removes the item after a confirmation.

Switches and order changes are not saved straight away. The number of pending changes appears at the bottom. Press Save to keep them or Discard to drop them.

Availability

For each item the list shows Sold out of the total and Sellable now. Items that are being paid for at that moment show as in checkout.

On the event's Commerce tab, Low-stock warning shows "Only N left" on the event page once the remaining quantity reaches the threshold you set.

Refunds do not automatically increase availability. To put refunded places back on sale, raise the item's quantity.

Inventory pools

A pool gives several items one shared quantity cap. For example, three kinds of panino that share 200 pieces.

  1. In the Inventory Pools box, press New Pool.
  2. Enter the pool name and the total quantity. Leave the quantity empty for no cap.
  3. Confirm with the tick.
  4. Create or edit an item and choose the pool under Inventory Pool.

When the pool runs out, none of the items that use it can be sold.
