What Is Ticket and Invoice MEC?
Ticket and Invoice MEC is developed by Modern Events Calender and is an events administration plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the events category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional event organizers. The plugin is designed to replace external ticketing services, allowing site owners to keep users on their own domain during the entire booking journey.
This add-on solves the problem of disconnected attendee management by providing a built-in QR scanner interface and automated PDF generation. It is for event hosts who require professional invoicing and rapid on-site check-in capabilities.
Ticket and Invoice MEC Features
The feature set is built around automating the lifecycle of a ticket from purchase to event entry.
Automated Ticketing and Invoicing
The plugin automatically generates PDF tickets and invoices for event attendees after a successful booking. These documents can be customized using optimized templates to include brand-specific elements. Site owners can incorporate critical company information such as VAT details, local addresses, and logos directly into the generated PDF files for professional event documentation.
Advanced Check-in Management
Each ticket includes a functional QR code that works with standard smartphone camera scanners or dedicated devices for fast entry. The plugin allows for granular check-in role management, enabling organizers to designate specific staff members to handle gate entries. A live attendess list column displays real-time check-in status, and organizers have the flexibility to uncheck guests if a re-entry is required.
Backend Administration
In addition to mobile scanning, admins can manage invoices and check-ins directly through the WordPress backend. The plugin supports importing previous bookings so that data consistency is maintained after installation. A dedicated page provides a live overview of checked attendees, ensuring the event staff always has an accurate count of guests currently on-site.
