Eventually Ticketing
Checkout & Payments

Set up the checkout bridge page for standalone paid checkout

When buyers purchase tickets from a standalone Eventually event link (/e/your-event-slug) for a paid event, a brief bridge page on your Squarespace site transfers their ticket selection into your Squarespace cart before redirecting to checkout. You create this page once per Squarespace site, then share its path with Eventually to activate the bridge.

When you need a bridge page

The bridge page is needed only for paid checkout that starts from a standalone /e/ event link. If your buyers always purchase through an embedded calendar widget on your site, the standard Squarespace Commerce checkout handles everything without a bridge page.

Without the bridge page configured, buyers who select tickets on a standalone paid event link are sent to your Squarespace product page rather than directly to checkout — they must select tickets again before purchasing.

Create the bridge page on your Squarespace site

Add a new blank page in Squarespace that serves as the bridge. The page stays out of your site navigation but must be publicly accessible at its URL.

  1. In Squarespace, create a new blank page. A name like Ticket Checkout works — the name is internal and only matters for your own reference.

  2. Add a Code block to the page and paste the bare Eventually loader:

    <script src="https://app.eventuallyticketing.com/widget.js"></script>

    This is the only script the bridge page needs. The full widget embed with data-widget-id is not required for the bridge — the bare loader detects the checkout handoff automatically.

  3. Keep the page public. Do not password-protect it or set it to private — the bridge only works if buyers can reach the page without logging in.

  4. Move the page to the Not Linked section in Squarespace so it does not appear in your site's navigation menu, but remains accessible at its URL.

  5. Save and publish the page, then copy the page's URL path (for example, /ticket-checkout).

The bridge page must be live and publicly accessible before the bridge can be activated. A missing, password-protected, or broken bridge page causes buyers to fall back to the Squarespace product page instead of reaching checkout.

Activate the bridge

After your bridge page is live, share the page's URL path with Eventually support. Eventually configures the bridge for your site and verifies the end-to-end checkout flow. There is no self-service setting in your dashboard to enable the bridge — Eventually completes the activation after confirming your page is live.

How the checkout handoff works

When a buyer selects tickets on a standalone paid event link, Eventually creates a single-use checkout token valid for 15 minutes. The buyer is briefly redirected to your bridge page, where the loader adds the selected tickets to the Squarespace cart and forwards the buyer to checkout.

The token is single-use: once the handoff completes, the same link cannot be used again. If a buyer refreshes the bridge page, uses the back button, or waits longer than 15 minutes, the token is consumed or expired and the buyer is sent to the Squarespace product page instead of checkout. On the product page, they can select tickets again and purchase normally.

Verify your bridge page

Open the bridge page URL directly in your browser. You should see a loading message (One moment while we send your tickets to checkout…) rather than a blank page or a rendered events widget. If you see a blank page, confirm the Code block with the loader script is present and the page is published.
