What Is FooEvents for WooCommerce?
FooEvents for WooCommerce is developed by FooEvents and is an events plugin for WordPress that has been active for over 11 years. It belongs to the events category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for organizers, educators, and global brands.
The plugin solves the problem of high third-party ticketing fees by allowing site owners to process payments through any WooCommerce-supported gateway. It is designed for businesses ranging from local yoga studios to international concert organizers who need a flexible, self-hosted ticketing platform.
FooEvents for WooCommerce Features
The feature set is built around native WooCommerce integration, ensuring that every ticket sold is treated as a standard product with full inventory control.
Ticketing and Inventory Management
FooEvents allows you to create different ticket types with unique stock counts, prices, and discounts for the same event. It leverages native WooCommerce order management to prevent overselling while providing branded ticket emails with 1D barcodes or QR codes. Users can also manually create tickets for existing customers directly from the WordPress admin area in the events dashboard.
Virtual and Hybrid Event Support
The plugin offers deep integration with Zoom to facilitate virtual conferences, meetings, and webinars. It can automatically pre-register attendees for recurring Zoom sessions once a ticket is purchased on your website. This capability allows you to sell access to physical and virtual events simultaneously, maintaining a unified customer database without relying on external registration platforms.
Mobile Check-ins and POS Integration
Organizers can manage event access using the free FooEvents Check-ins app for iOS and Android, which supports real-time syncing and offline modes. For on-site sales, the plugin integrates with specialized POS extensions to print physical tickets and receipts. This bridges the gap between online pre-sales and at-the-door transactions using supported card readers like Stripe or Square.
Advanced Customization and Reporting
FooEvents provides over 20 professional ticket themes and supports custom wording, allowing you to change “Attendees” to “Participants” or “Students” to fit your specific needs. Real-time reports provide insights into ticket revenue, check-in status, and remaining inventory. The plugin is also translation-ready and compatible with WPML for bilingual or international event pages.
