Choose the activity you organize, then follow its setup guide. Each guide explains the onboarding starting choices, the settings to finish in the event editor, and what to check before sharing your event. All 21 named onboarding templates are covered, along with **Start from scratch**. Templates are starting points. You can change their schedule, admission method, price, and capacity. A template name does not automatically create a venue, description, seating chart, registration questions, membership, or payment connection. Already created your event? Open that event and use the guide's **Finish the event settings** section. You do not need to create it again to use these instructions. ## Find your event The first eight options appear on **What are you hosting?**. Select **Browse more templates →** to see Popular and Advanced. | Main templates | Start here when you need | | - | - | | [Wine Tour](./wine-tour) | Bookings for a tour or tasting with selectable departure times. | | [Concert](./concert) | General-admission or reserved-seat tickets for a show you organize. | | [Class](./class) | Weekly or monthly classes, with separate choices for session tickets and class packages. | | [Meetup](./meetup) | Free registration, an attendee list, and reminders for a gathering. | | [Festival](./festival) | Several event days with a full pass, day passes, or both. | | [Theatre](./theatre) | Performance tickets with a venue map and reserved seats. | | [Sports Event](./sports-event) | Spectator tickets or participant registration for a fixture or activity. | | [Conference](./conference) | Conference passes, delegate forms, daily attendance, and optional session add-ons. | | Popular templates | Start here when you need | | - | - | | [Workshop](./workshop) | A limited-capacity practical session and participant questions. | | [Seminar](./seminar) | Registration for a talk or presentation, in person or online. | | [Party](./party) | Guest RSVPs, capacity limits, and deliberate privacy settings. | | [Dinner](./dinner) | Meal tickets, dietary choices, and optional seat or table selection. | | [Comedy Show](./comedy-show) | Tickets for a comedy performance with open or reserved seating. | | [Market](./market) | A recurring public market, with visitor registration or a listing-only page. | | [Retreat](./retreat) | A full retreat stay, participant information, and optional installment payments. | | [Bus Tour](./bus-tour) | Passenger bookings for scheduled departures, with optional numbered seats. | | Advanced templates | Start here when you need | | - | - | | [Single Event](./single-event) | One occurrence without a more specific activity template. | | [Repeating Event](./repeating-event) | A weekly or monthly series with bookings for individual occurrences. | | [Multi-day Event](./multi-day-event) | One experience spanning days, with a deliberate choice of full and daily passes. | | [Free RSVP](./free-rsvp) | A no-charge registration form rather than paid admission. | | [Assigned Seating](./assigned-seating) | A bookable seat map with ticket prices mapped to seat categories. | Use [Start from scratch](./start-from-scratch) to open the full event editor without answering the template questions. It does not create an event merely by opening the editor. ## Complete onboarding 1. Select the correct workspace and open **Create Event**. A new account may first need a workspace name. 2. On **What are you hosting?**, choose a template. 3. On **What's your event called?**, enter the name guests should see. 4. On **When does it happen?**, review **One day**, **Several days**, **Weekly**, or **Monthly**. Replace the suggested start and end. Recurring events also need weekdays where applicable and **Repeats until**. Several days must span at least two calendar dates. 5. Wine Tour and Bus Tour also offer **Do attendees choose a time?**. Edit the session times when enabled. Other templates can be configured with time-based schedules later in the full editor. 6. On **How do people get tickets?**, choose **Paid tickets**, **Free RSVP**, or **Assigned seating**. Review the price and capacity. Eligible paid multi-day events also offer a full pass, day passes, or both. 7. Choose **Continue later** to create a draft and finish the remaining settings in the editor, or **Create my event →** when you are ready for the creation and publication checks. **Create my event** can publish immediately when the schedule, admission, and payment requirements are met. Use **Continue later** to finish the settings in this guide before going live. Assigned-seating templates stay drafts because they still need a chart. The result says the event **is live** or has been **created**. Open the event and review its saved status and any warning. If publishing could not finish, the created event remains available to review; do not create another event simply to retry publishing. ## Review the suggested values Paid templates start with a suggested price of **25 in the site's currency**, not a recommended price for your event. The default capacity is **100**, except Wine Tour, Class, Workshop, and Bus Tour (**20**), Dinner (**40**), Retreat (**30**), and Market (blank/no event-wide cap). Free RSVP does not charge the suggested paid-ticket amount. Date fields are prefilled. Several-day templates initially span three calendar days, and tour time selection starts with a single **09:00–10:00** slot. Replace these with your real schedule. Review the event timezone in **Event Details**; translating widget labels does not change the event timezone. A plan that only allows free tickets can turn a requested paid ticket into a free ticket and show a warning. Review [plan access](/account/billing-and-plans), the saved ticket price, and the checkout before sharing. Paid checkout needs an appropriate [payment connection](/account/get-paid) or the payment setup for your connected storefront. ## Choose the right ticket model | What you want to sell | Settings to use | | - | - | | One date or performance | A single occurrence with the appropriate tickets or RSVP. | | A weekly or monthly booking | A recurring schedule; review admission for the selected occurrence. | | A particular departure time | A time-based schedule with selectable slots and verified session capacity. | | One pass for an entire span | Full event pass with clearly stated dates and admission rules. | | Independently priced days | Day passes on selected dates, with each price and capacity reviewed. | | The whole event and individual days | Full event pass + day passes; inspect both the main and daily offers. | | A specific seat or table | Assigned seating, a published chart, and ticket/category mappings. | | A class pack or season entitlement | A membership with assigned events, duration, and visit limits. Recurring dates alone do not create that entitlement. | The onboarding day-pass choices require paid admission spanning multiple days, without assigned seating or attendee-selected time slots. New day tickets initially use the entered pass price and capacity; they are not automatically cheaper. See [multi-day event setup](./multi-day-event) for the full choice table. Festival and Conference create separate day records by default. A Retreat or generic Multi-day Event with only a full pass remains one event spanning its dates; choosing separate day passes creates the needed day records. Review the saved operating hours and what guests can buy before opening registration. ## Finish the settings your event needs | Area | Detailed guide | | - | - | | Brand, logo, and colors | [Brand setup](/branding-and-design/brand-design) | | Description, category, privacy, capacity, and timezone | [Event Details](/event-management/eventdetails) | | Dates, recurrence, individual days, and time slots | [Dates & Times](/event-management/datetime) | | Prices, quantities, promo codes, access, and admission rules | [Ticket options](/event-management/ticket-setup) | | Registration form and per-attendee answers | [Questions and requirements](/event-management/additional-information) | | Venue or online joining information | [Venue & Location](/event-management/venuelocation) | | Sold-out interest and invitation-only admission | [Waitlists](/event-management/waitlist) | | Seat maps and category prices | [Seating charts](/seating-charts/create-and-assign) | | Deposits and later payments | [Stripe installments](/event-management/installment-payments) | | Shared carts and checkout display | [General site settings](/site-settings/site-settings) and [widget checkout](/branding-and-design/checkout-settings) | | Confirmation, reminders, and language variants | [Email communication](/event-management/email-communication) and [locale settings](/branding-and-design/language-and-locale) | | Website installation and Shopify | [Embed setup](/plugins/embed-on-your-website) and [Ticket Selector](/plugins/shopify-ticket-selector) | | Admission and event results | [Mobile check-in](/mobile-app/mobile-check-in) and [Analytics](/analytics/analytics-overview) | Some features need a particular plan, payment provider, or connected platform.
