Plugin Description

Orange Cat QR Event Tickets turns any WooCommerce product into an event and handles the whole ticketing flow: sell tickets, email a QR code for every seat, and validate attendees at the door by scanning with a phone — no dedicated app required.

There are no ticket limits: unlimited events, unlimited tickets, no per-ticket fees.

How it works

1. Mark a product as an event and set the start date, optional end date and location.
2. Customers buy tickets through the normal WooCommerce checkout (guest checkout works).
3. When the order is paid, one QR ticket per seat is generated and emailed, using your store’s WooCommerce email design.
4. At the door, staff open a page with the check-in shortcode and scan tickets with the phone camera. The verdict is instant: green (valid), yellow (already used, with the time), or red (revoked or invalid).
5. Refunds and cancellations invalidate the affected QR codes automatically and release capacity.

The check-in page is protected by a capability, not by a secret URL: only logged-in staff with the right role can scan or search. QR payloads are HMAC-signed, and check-in is atomic, so two doors can never validate the same ticket twice.

Features

• Unlimited events and QR tickets — no lifetime caps, no per-ticket fees.
• One signed QR code per purchased seat, emailed with your store’s WooCommerce email template.
• Web-based check-in: scan with the phone camera straight from the browser, no app to install.
• Instant visual verdict: valid / already used (with time) / revoked / invalid.
• Manual fallback: find tickets by buyer email or order number and check them in with one tap.
• Capacity control using native WooCommerce stock management.
• Configurable sales close: stop selling a set number of hours before the event starts.
• Automatic ticket revocation on full or partial refunds and on cancellations.
• Upcoming and past event listings via shortcodes.
• Guest-checkout friendly — customers do not need an account.
• WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) compatible.
• Translation-ready; ships with a Spanish (es_ES) translation.
