How to embed Ticket Tailor on your website
Ticket Tailor is a low-fee ticketing platform for events, used by event organisers, workshop hosts, venues and community groups. Here's how to put it on your own website, which embed option to pick, and what goes wrong.
Quick answer
Get the code from your Ticket Tailor box office settings, in the widgets or embed section. For most people the right choice is the inline widget — the full ticket selection and checkout in your page. Paste it into a code or embed block on your site — not a plain text field — then place it beside your main call to action and test the whole flow on a phone before relying on it.
Ticket Tailor: which option to use
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Inline widget | The full ticket selection and checkout in your page. |
| Button widget | A 'Book now' button that opens checkout in an overlay. |
| Event list widget | All your upcoming events in one embedded list. |
Step-by-step
- 1
Find the code or link in your account
Ticket Tailor keeps this in your Ticket Tailor box office settings, in the widgets or embed section. Copy what you need before touching your website — most of the time people lose is spent hunting for the snippet, not installing it.

Pick the right option for the job
The table above is the decision. Inline widget: The full ticket selection and checkout in your page. Button widget: A 'Book now' button that opens checkout in an overlay. Choosing before you paste saves rebuilding the section later.

Paste it into a code or embed block
This needs an HTML, code or embed block — not a plain text field, where the code will simply appear as text on your page. On Adviita, ask the AI editor to add an embed section and drop the code in. On WordPress use a Custom HTML block, on Squarespace a Code block (Business plan or above), and on Wix an Embed HTML element.

Put it where the decision happens
People decide to attend in seconds. Anything between them and a ticket loses attendees. A widget three scrolls down does a fraction of the work of the same widget beside your main call to action. Decide what the page is for, then place it at the point the visitor is deciding.

Check it on an actual phone
Most visitors to a small business website arrive on a phone, and embeds are where mobile layouts break. Open your live site on your own phone and confirm it loads, fits the screen without sideways scrolling, and does not push your contact button out of view. Third-party embeds are also the most common cause of a slow page, so if it noticeably delays loading, consider a plain link instead.

Test it end to end before you rely on it
Run through the whole flow yourself as a customer would — confirm it renders and links correctly — and confirm what should happen actually happens. Broken embeds fail silently, and the first person to notice is usually a customer who has already given up.
Tips & best practices
- ▸The inline widget needs vertical room. Constraining its height cuts off the checkout step, which looks like a broken page.
- ▸Ticket Tailor charges per ticket rather than a percentage, which is usually cheaper than Eventbrite for higher-priced tickets — worth checking against your pricing.
- ▸Test a full booking including payment before promoting the event. Discovering a checkout problem after the announcement is expensive.
- ▸Re-test the embed after any change to your site, your plan, or the connected account — third-party widgets break quietly and nothing tells you.
Common questions
How do I embed Ticket Tailor on my website?
+−
In your Ticket Tailor box office, open the widgets section and copy the embed code for a single event, a button, or your full event list. Paste it into a code or embed block on your site, and give the inline widget plenty of vertical space.
Ticket Tailor or Eventbrite?
+−
Ticket Tailor charges a flat fee per ticket rather than a percentage, which usually works out cheaper for higher-priced tickets. Eventbrite has a discovery marketplace that can bring you attendees you would not otherwise reach. If you are driving your own audience, the flat fee generally wins.
Do I need a developer to add Ticket Tailor to my site?
+−
No. Every option here is copy and paste into a code or embed block, which every mainstream website builder provides. The only genuine blocker is a builder or plan that does not allow custom code at all — Squarespace, for instance, requires a Business plan or above for code blocks.
Will adding Ticket Tailor slow down my website?
+−
Any third-party embed has some cost, because it loads code from another company's servers. One is usually unnoticeable; four or five on the same page is where small business sites become visibly slow. If page speed matters to you, prefer a plain link over a script wherever the option exists, and keep embeds to the pages that genuinely need them.
