The complete walkthrough · Ticketing & paid events
A real, end-to-end run-through of a paid ticketed event on GateOne — the setup wizard, the form, the look, auto-delivered documents, discounts, going live, a real purchase, the ticket, the money, and scanning people in at the door. Built from live screens of TECH SUMMIT 2026.
The route
Account, organization and payouts are the same one-time setup as voting (see the Voting walkthrough's first three steps). This guide picks up with payouts active for Ghana and jumps into the event. Volunteer & vendor paths are a separate guide.
Open Ticketing and hit New event. Free is registration-only; Paid sells tickets. We're doing paid, so a two-question wizard settles payouts before the form.
Five cards top to bottom. Fill the essentials, set your ticket line-up, and choose who pays the card fee.
You can rename tiers and adjust capacity later, but prices and adding/removing tiers are fixed once the event exists.
Creating lands you on the event's Overview as a Draft. Then the Media tab lets you add the visuals that sell it — a poster, a gallery, and a featured video.
The Documents tab attaches files to the event — and each one has its own delivery moment: sent with the ticket before, handed out at check-in, or both. You'll see this land in the guest's inbox at the very end.
A programme, map, or parking pass tagged at check-in is emailed automatically the moment a guest is scanned in — no chasing, no printing. We'll see exactly that in step 9.
Messaging broadcasts to your audience; Discounts creates codes buyers enter at checkout.
New events are reviewed by the platform (usually within 24 hours). When it clears, an email lands and the Overview hands you Publish event.
Share the link and anyone lands on the public page — no account. They pick tiers and quantities, optionally enter a code, and pay. The math updates live, including the card fee you passed on.
The buyer immediately gets a QR ticket (on-screen and by email/SMS), and it all lands in your Registrations and Finance tabs.
The Check-In tab gives you a no-login scanner for any phone, plus separate gate links for different entrances. Scan a ticket and the guest is in — and any “at check-in” document is emailed to them instantly.
Create → wizard settles payouts → fill the form → dress it up → get approved → publish → share. Sales land in Finance, the scanner checks people in, documents deliver themselves, and your payout settles on your terms.
End to end
The wizard remembers your country and payout choice, so your next event skips straight to the form. Create, publish, sell, scan, get paid — that's it. Volunteer & vendor paths come next.
