Widget display options reference

Open Design → Widget → All Settings → Display. Use the section names below or Search settings. These controls affect presentation and selection flow; configure ticket prices, capacity, and sales windows in the event editor. Show all available events overrides Maximum events to display, but still respects the site’s plan limit and event filters. Show a ‘Load more’ button reveals Events per load; it does not increase those limits. Turning on Show every occurrence of a recurring event changes which dates are listed. Choose tickets before choosing a date takes priority over Show tickets on the same step as dates and times. Both apply to events requiring a date/time selection. With ticket-first selection, dates must have availability for all chosen ticket types. Date-first combined checkout displays tickets below the selected date/time. For a multi-session event, Offer an all-sessions pass and Offer single sessions control the choices presented. If both are off, checkout selects the all-sessions option and skips date/time selection. Verify that choice against the event’s whole-event pass setup. Some settings appear only after a related option is enabled: end time and time format need start time; city needs venue; event-link wording needs an event link; add-on, membership, and installment presentation needs the corresponding feature on the event. Optional installment notices do not remove the mandatory payment schedule and authorization.
