Troubleshooting

Why you cannot publish an event

The usual blockers: missing tickets, sales window ended, seating invalid, or Stripe not connected for paid online sales.

  1. Step 1

    Check you have something to sell

    You need at least one active ticket that can still be sold: quantity remaining, a sales window that has started or will start, and an event end time still in the future.

  2. Step 2

    Paid online tickets need Stripe

    If any active ticket is paid online, connect Stripe under Payments. Free tickets and pay-at-the-door tickets can publish without Stripe.

  3. Step 3

    Fix seating if you use it

    Assigned or zone tickets must have a valid map (sections, capacity). Incomplete seating will block publish.

  4. Step 4

    After you are already live

    If you later disconnect Stripe, card checkout stops. Free and on-site tickets stay on sale; the event is not unpublished automatically.
