Ticket Tailor

How to integrate Ticket Tailor with Webflow

You can integrate Ticket Tailor with Webflow through three primary methods: Native features, direct embeds and widgets for embedding Box Office or Single Event Widgets directly on your pages, Zapier automation for syncing event data to your Webflow CMS when tickets are sold, or events are created, or API integration for custom implementations with real-time availability displays and webhook-driven synchronization.

Direct widget embedding works best for single events or straightforward implementations where you want customers to purchase tickets without leaving your site. Zapier is the primary no-code solution for multi-event operations that need real-time CMS updates. Custom API development enables enterprise-scale implementations with complex business logic like dynamic availability displays or unified attendee databases.

Native features, direct embeds and widgets

Ticket Tailor provides three primary official embed methods that work directly with Webflow's custom code functionality: the Box Office Widget for displaying multiple events, the Single Event Widget for individual events, and a JavaScript Widget with configurable parameters. You generate embed codes from your Ticket Tailor dashboard and paste them into Webflow's Code Embed element. All widget styling happens through Ticket Tailor's Box Office Design Studio, which lets you customize colors, fonts, logos, and layouts to match your site design. For functional customization, you can use URL parameters like data-inline-minimal, data-inline-show-logo, and data-inline-bg-fill to control widget behavior, though CSS overrides from Webflow are not supported due to iframe isolation (where the widget runs in a separate security context that prevents external styling).

What you can embed:

• Box Office Widget displaying multiple events
• Single Event Widget for individual events
• JavaScript Widget with configurable parameters
• Popup checkout overlays
• Direct checkout links on buttons

The implementation process includes the following steps:

1. Navigate to your Ticket Tailor dashboard
2. Go to Promote > Website embed codes (for box office) or Event summary > Share (for single events)
3. Copy the generated HTML code
4. In Webflow Designer, add a Code Embed element where you want the widget
5. Paste the Ticket Tailor code and save
6. Publish your site to see the widget (it won't render in Designer preview mode)

Widget customization

Customize widget appearance through Box Office Settings > Box office design in your Ticket Tailor dashboard. You can filter which events appear using keyword and date filters, alphabetize event listings by adding ?sort=az to the widget URL, or display password-protected events with access code parameters.

Use Zapier for automation

Zapier is the only currently viable no-code automation platform connecting Ticket Tailor with Webflow. This integration automatically syncs event data to your Webflow CMS collections when tickets are sold or events are created in Ticket Tailor, eliminating manual CMS updates.

Available triggers from Ticket Tailor

• ORDER.CREATED — Fires when a ticket purchase completes
• ISSUED_TICKET.CREATED — Triggers when attendee registration occurs

Available actions in Webflow

• Create Live Item — Adds items to Webflow CMS collections
• New Form Submission — Captures form data for email automation

Common workflows

Set up a Zap that creates Webflow CMS items when new orders are placed in Ticket Tailor. Connect the New Order trigger to update ticket availability fields in your CMS, showing real-time capacity or sold-out status. Use the New Attendee trigger to populate attendee directories for networking events or conferences.

Build with Webflow and Ticket Tailor APIs

Custom API integration enables advanced use cases beyond what widgets or Zapier automation provide, including real-time availability displays, custom check-in tracking interfaces, and unified customer databases through webhook-driven synchronization. These implementations require development resources and careful architectural planning to stay within API rate limits.

The Ticket Tailor API is a REST API at https://api.tickettailor.com with JSON responses and HTTP Basic Authentication using your API key as the username with no password required. The Webflow Data API v2 provides REST endpoints for managing CMS collections and items with either site tokens (single-site access) or OAuth tokens (multi-site access), with authentication required via an Authorization: Bearer header.

Sync event data to Webflow CMS

Use GET /v1/events to retrieve event data from Ticket Tailor, then POST to the Webflow collection items endpoint to populate your CMS. This pattern works for initial data imports or scheduled syncs. For real-time updates, configure Ticket Tailor webhooks that trigger when events are created, updated, or deleted, then call Webflow's API to sync changes automatically.

Key endpoints

• Ticket Tailor: GET /v1/events, GET /v1/events/{event_id}
• Webflow: POST /v2/collections/:collection_id/items, List Collection Items
• Webhooks: event.created, event.updated, event.deleted

Track ticket sales and availability

Configure the issued_ticket.created webhook to receive notifications when tickets are purchased. Extract the event ID from the webhook payload, query GET /v1/events/{event_id} for current capacity, then update the corresponding Webflow CMS item with remaining availability. This creates real-time capacity displays on your Webflow site.

Implementation pattern

1. Set up webhook endpoint to receive Ticket Tailor webhook POSTs
2. Verify webhook signatures using HMAC-SHA256 (a cryptographic signature method)
3. Extract event details from webhook payload
4. Update Webflow CMS via PATCH /v2/collections/:collection_id/items
5. Call POST /v2/sites/:site_id/publish to make changes live

Manage attendee data

Use GET /v1/issued_tickets to retrieve complete attendee records including holder names, ticket types, and check-in status. Populate a Webflow CMS collection with this data to create attendee directories, networking profiles, or check-in dashboards. Note that the Webflow API places items in a "staged" state by default and requires explicit publishing to become visible on the live site.

Subscribe to the issued_ticket.created webhook to track real-time check-ins and ticket issuance as they happen at your event. Verify all webhook signatures using HMAC-SHA256 before processing to ensure authenticity and security.

Key endpoints

• Ticket Tailor: GET /v1/issued_tickets, GET /v1/check_ins
• Webflow: POST /v2/collections/:collection_id/items, List Collection Items
• Webhooks: issued_ticket.created, issued_ticket.updated

What you can build

Integrating Ticket Tailor with Webflow enables event-focused sites that combine content marketing with direct ticket sales while maintaining complete brand control. These methods provide flexible pathways for embedding ticketing functionality that ranges from simple copy-paste setup to real-time data synchronization.

• Multi-event festival sites: Build festival websites with artist lineups, schedule grids, and venue information. Use Webflow CMS for event listings and embed Ticket Tailor's Box Office Widget for direct purchasing of individual shows or multi-day passes.
• Venue showcase sites: Create websites for theaters, music halls, or community centers with upcoming events, artist profiles, and direct ticket sales using Webflow CMS collections and Ticket Tailor widgets.
• Recurring workshop registration: Set up sites for yoga studios, cooking schools, or training programs. Ticket Tailor handles time slots, recurring scheduling, and capacity limits while Webflow maintains the branded experience.
• Nonprofit fundraiser pages: Build campaign pages combining storytelling with ticket sales and donations. Ticket Tailor's transparent pricing and data ownership align with nonprofit stewardship requirements.
