Ticketing for events of every size, from the first click to the front door. Run it inside WordPress or as a site of its own. Either way it runs on your server, and we take nothing from your ticket sales, in any edition.
Every guest passes through the same gates. Each one can feel easy or frustrating, and each one is where Gatecraft does its work.
The same Gatecraft, packaged for the way your site already works.
GatecraftAdd ticketing to the WordPress site you already have. Start free and add more when you need it.
A complete ticketing site of its own, with no WordPress underneath. Install it on ordinary hosting under your own domain.
We take 0% of your ticket sales. In every edition.
Gatecraft runs on your hosting, not ours. Nothing to rent per ticket, nothing to switch off.
Guest and order details stay where you put them, and leave only when you decide.
Stripe, PayPay, cash and bank transfer, paid to you, with a simple queue to confirm the offline ones.
The Gatecraft mark rises from the ground up as an event sells, so you can read how close you are to a full house at a glance. When the doors open, the doorway turns red.
Move the slider, then open the doors.

Ticketing handles money, personal details and the front door. It has to hold up on the busiest night of your year, and it has to be easy for everyone involved.
Gatecraft is built to help organisers meet the EU's GDPR, Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information and privacy laws around the world.
Guest and order details live in your own database on your own server. They are never sent to us.
When a guest asks to see their data, or to have it deleted, export and erasure are built in and cover everything Gatecraft holds about them.
Mailing-list consent is captured at checkout, person by person, and one booking never overwrites another person's choice.
Door staff, managers and admins each see only what their job needs, behind two-step sign-in.
Gatecraft gives you the tools. As the organiser you decide how guests' data is used, so publish your own privacy notice alongside your events.
No, in any edition. The free plugin, Pro and Business Edition all take nothing from your ticket sales: no fee per ticket and no percentage. Your payment provider charges its own fees for card payments, and the paid editions have an annual licence.
On your own server, in your own database. Gatecraft is software you run yourself, so your guests' details are never sent to us.
If your site already runs on WordPress, the plugin adds ticketing to it: start with the free plugin and add Pro when you need more. If you don't use WordPress, or want a ticketing site of its own, choose Business Edition.
Ordinary shared hosting is enough. Business Edition needs PHP, a MySQL database and HTTPS, the same kind of plan most WordPress sites run on. The WordPress editions need a working WordPress site.
Licences are annual and cover one installation domain, and renewals are 15% off. If you don't renew, Gatecraft keeps working: you stop receiving updates, security patches, bug fixes and support until you renew. Ask us for current prices.
Yes. Gatecraft is built to help organisers meet the EU's GDPR, Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information and similar laws elsewhere. Guest data stays on your own server, guests can ask for their data to be exported or erased, mailing-list consent is recorded per person, and staff see only what their role needs. As the organiser, you remain responsible for how you use the data, so pair Gatecraft with your own privacy notice.
Yes, on everything your guests see: event pages, emails and tickets. The admin area always carries Gatecraft branding, and a small "Powered by Gatecraft" line stays in the footer of public pages in every edition.
