Install the plugin and set your products to be a event ticket product. That’s it.
The plugin will generate a secure ticket number and add them to the mail to your clients. It will also generate a PDF with the ticket information and QR code. The built-in ticket scanner allows you and your team to redeem the tickets by scanning the QR-code.
You can even import your own ticket numbers, but it will generate them also on the fly. The freedom is in your hands.

Restrict ticket sales: You can restrict the products from being sold, if the customer do not have a code for it. You can sell those codes to or generate them with another purchase.
Validation of ticket numbers: You customer can validate a ticket number on your page. The ticket number generator gives you a flexible pattern to generate ticket numbers upfront. You can also import your existing codes.

Build your own stolen ticket number database: Support your customer and yourself to protect stolen ticket numbers to be sold or used to others. Mark reported ticket numbers as stolen and let others check the ticket numbers with the ticket number validator.
How can you setup the ticket numbers?
The ticket numbers will be generated by the plugin automatically, if you do not set up ticket numbers upfront.
You can enter your ticket numbers within the WP admin area in the ticket number section (a new menu point in the wordpress amdin area).
You can generate your own ticket numbers manually using the ticket number generator or import existing ticket numbers.
And you are also able to add your own ticket numbers by just entering them to the generated ticket numbers below the ticket number generator.
If needed you can assign the ticket (numbers) to a list which helps you to organize the tickets. The ticket list need to be assigned to a WooCommerce product.
Create one or more code lists to use the WooCommerce functionality.
How the ticket number or code generator works
You define your look and feel for your ticket numbers and codes. The generated codes will be unique. After you are satisfied with the generated codes, you can start the code adding step.
The code adding step will check if the code is unique on the server before adding it.
If the code (ticket number/purchase restriction code) exists already on the server, it will not be added.
The generator provides a lot of features:
- Code prefix – you can enter a fixed prefix to each code
- Length of code
- Only letters
- Uppercase, Lowercase or both
- Exclusion of letters that are easy to missread (i,l,o,q,p)
- Delimiter possible: [None, -, :, SPACE] – you decide after how many letters within the code
- CVV code generation (only numbers)
Yes, this is a fork of the serial code validator plugin. We decided to make it an own plugin out of it. So to add more and more features that are not related to serial codes but to event tickets.

Try it out first, before you go Premium. “Here you can find the premium plugin”.
Build your own Stolen products database
You can set the status of a ticket number or code to be marked as stolen. This way you can offer your customers a way to report a stolen product. Other buyers of used products can validate the code on your website and will be notified with a “Product is stolen” warning.
This could increase sales and help reducing theft of your products.
The check behaviour will be like “inactive codes” but with the stolen message. You can change the stolen message within the options area of the serial code admin.
Protection with CVV
You can set a code verification value (CVV) to protect your code. This allows you to print your code on the visible side of your product and print the CVV number on the open visible part of your packaging of your products. The validation check will ask the user to enter both for a valid check.
That way you increase the security of your purchase restriction codes and prevent stealing the code (If you are able hide the CVV on your packaging).
If you use a CVV on a code , then the user will be asked to enter this CVV too during the validation. If the CVV on your code is not set or empty it will be ignored and your customer is not asked for it.

Supports version 6+
You can use this plugin to auto-generate tickets and codes for your woocommerce products

Everytime this product is sold, it will get a new generated ticket number/code or use an unused one within your list (This need to be activated within the option settings). The new code will be added to the code list you set on your WooCommerce product and to the product sale too.
If the sold product quantity in the order is more than 1, then a ticket number/code will be generated for each element. The code will be generated after the purchase. In case of a refund the code will be recovered and marked as unused, so that it can be reused.
E.g.: Your customer bought 2 of the same product within one order, then 2 tickets will be generated and stored to the product item within this order.

Checkout the video, how it works
Frontend
- Use the shortcode [sasoEventTicketsValidator]
- Create a page or use an existing one and add the shortcode to the page
- The shortcode will be replaced for your users by a form to enter the code and a button to validate the code. This allows you to surround the form with your own heading and instruction.
- Each code has a display version (e.g. XYZXYZ -> XYZ-XYZ), so it is easier for your user to read the code.
- The check will remove the display delimiter “-“, “:”, ” ” for the check automatically.
- So your user can enter the code with or without delimiters.
If you use CVV on a code and the user enter the code that requires a cvv, then your user will be ask to enter the CVV.
The user could enter the CVV immediately with the code. Separate the value with a “:”. E.g: XYZXYZ:1234.
It is possible to prefill the code validation form with a code.
Add the parameter “code” to your page URL to create a link that prefills the form.
E.g https://vollstart.de/serial-codes/?code=123-456-789
Frontend event tickets
Your customer will receive a specific URL to the ticket detail page. You can control which information to display. additional they can download the ticket as a PDF.
The ticket will contain a QR code, that can be scanned by you or your team (no loggin to WordPress needed) and redeem the ticket.
Watch the video for it
Form Options for expert
You can use your own input, trigger and output HTML element.
Add the id parameter to your HTML elements and pass them to the shortcode as corresponding parameter.
You can add also your own JS function name that will be called before the code is checked on the server and also if the result comes back.
