Introduction
With the Orders API you can manage and track ticket orders, create/cancel tickets reservations, and check out the reserved tickets.
To get yourself comfortable with creating ticket reservation and checkout flows, you can check out these Velo example sites:
Even though these examples are for the wix-events-frontend module, they still can be a great start to practice the flows.
With the Orders API you can:
- Get a list of all orders.
- Update an order or change its status.
- Get a summary of total ticket sales.
- Create and cancel ticket reservation.
- Checkout tickets.
- Get an invoice.
Before you begin
It’s important to note the following points before starting to code:
- Install the Wix Events & Tickets app from Wix App Market.
- If a site visitor closes a tab after placing an order, or the reservation time (20 minutes) runs out, the order is automatically cancelled after 2 hours.
- To use the Orders API, import
{ orders }from thewix-events.v2module:
javascript | Copy Codeimport { orders } from 'wix-events.v2';
Terminology
