Eventually Ticketing

Quick start guide

Welcome to Eventually. This guide walks you through connecting your Squarespace site, setting up payment processing, publishing your calendar widget, and understanding how checkout works for your attendees.

What Eventually does

Eventually is a Squarespace-first event ticketing platform. Your events, attendee registrations, and checkout all happen directly on your site—no external redirects, no third-party branding, and no per-ticket fees from Eventually.

Key capabilities:

  • Calendar Widget — Display your events in month, list, or card views. The widget matches your site's design and embeds on any page.

  • Squarespace Checkout — Paid tickets process through your existing Squarespace Commerce setup. Attendees stay on your site.

  • Per-Attendee Data — Collect custom registration information for each ticket holder.

  • Recurring Events — Set up classes, workshops, or ongoing series with flexible scheduling.

  • Automated Emails — Send branded confirmation and reminder emails automatically.

  • QR Check-In — Check in attendees at the door with QR codes.

Connecting your Squarespace site

After you create your Eventually account, you'll connect your Squarespace site to enable native checkout and event management.

  1. From your dashboard, look for the Getting started section. Click Connect your website.

  2. On the Payments & Sites page, under Payment processing, click Connect Your Squarespace Site.

  3. Authorize the connection — You'll be prompted to log into your Squarespace account and grant Eventually permission to integrate with your site.

  4. Confirm your site — Once authorized, your Squarespace site will appear as connected in your Eventually settings.

Setting up payment processing

Eventually uses your Squarespace Commerce configuration for paid tickets. The Payments & Sites page shows your available payment options:

  • Squarespace Commerce — The primary integration for selling tickets. Checkout happens on your site through Squarespace Payments.

  • Stripe — An alternative payment processor if you prefer Stripe for card transactions.

Standard Squarespace Payments processing fees apply to each transaction. Eventually charges a flat monthly subscription—there are no per-ticket fees added on top.

Publishing your calendar widget

Your calendar widget displays upcoming events and lets visitors browse and purchase tickets. The widget is designed to blend into your Squarespace site's visual style.

Available views:

  • Month view — A traditional calendar grid showing events by date.

  • List view — A chronological list of upcoming events.

  • Card view — Visual event cards with images and key details.

To add the widget to a page on your Squarespace site, copy the embed code from your Eventually dashboard and paste it into a code block or embed block on your chosen page. The widget updates automatically when you create, edit, or cancel events.

Creating your first event

Once your site is connected and payment processing is active, you can create events from the Eventually dashboard. Your dashboard shows a Let's plan your next event section to guide you through setup.

Event configuration includes:

  • Event title, description, and images

  • Date, time, and timezone

  • Ticket types and pricing

  • Attendee registration fields

  • Capacity limits and waitlist settings

  • Recurring schedule options (for classes or series)

How checkout works

When an attendee clicks to purchase a ticket, they stay on your Squarespace site. The checkout flow uses your existing Squarespace Commerce infrastructure:

  1. Attendee selects tickets from the calendar widget and proceeds to checkout.

  2. Information is collected — Depending on your attendee collection timing setting, custom registration fields appear during checkout (Before mode), in a follow-up email after purchase (After mode), or not at all (Off mode).

  3. Payment is processed through Squarespace Payments (or Stripe, if configured).

  4. Confirmation email is sent — Attendees receive a branded email with their ticket details and a QR code for check-in.

Because checkout runs through Squarespace Commerce, your attendees see a consistent brand experience. No redirects, no third-party checkout pages, no third-party branding overlay.
