Run and sell events on your own WordPress site.
EventPrime gives you native listings, registrations, tickets, and attendee workflows in one WordPress-ready system, with extensions when you need more operational depth.
Free core plugin. Built for WordPress.
The problem with running events off WordPress
Your event tools shouldn’t live somewhere else.
Most WordPress sites end up stitching together a calendar plugin, a separate ticketing tool, a payment processor, and a spreadsheet to track who’s coming. Every extra tool is another login, another integration to maintain, and another place your event data can drift out of sync — and every redirect to a third-party checkout is a visitor you don’t fully own.
EventPrime replaces the stack with one system that runs where your site already lives.
How it works
Three parts, one system.
Set up your event and pricing
Create an event, define ticket types, and build the pricing structure — early-bird rates, group rates, or tiered access — without a separate pricing tool.
Show it on a calendar people actually use
Your events display on an interactive, filterable calendar built into your site, so visitors can browse and find what’s relevant without leaving your domain.
Let attendees choose their exact seat
For seated events, attendees pick their own seats from a live, visual seating plan at checkout — no manual seat assignment on your end.
Every step happens on your WordPress site, under your domain, with your data.
Why teams choose EventPrime
Built for teams that sell, not just list.
Real commerce, not just a calendar
Ticket types, offers and discount codes, and multiple payment options are built in, so you can sell tickets on day one without wiring up a separate commerce plugin.
Fits how events actually recur and get bought
Recurring events, flexible checkout fields, and wishlist-style saving mean the booking flow adapts to real attendee behavior instead of forcing a one-size checkout.
A data model that grows with you
Events, venues, organizers, and performers are modeled as distinct, structured pieces — not flat text fields — so multi-organizer, multi-venue, and multi-performer events stay manageable as your calendar grows.
See it in action
From browsing to booked, without a redirect.
A visitor finds your event on a calendar or listing page you control, picks tickets or seats through a guided popup flow, and completes checkout — all on your site, styled to match it. No third-party booking page, no separate branding, no lost visitor at the handoff.
Event listings, calendars, and detail pages render using your site’s own theme and display options — carousels, grids, or list views — so events look native, not embedded.
Where to start
Start free. Extend only when you need to.
The free EventPrime core plugin includes event listings, calendars, ticketing, checkout, and attendee management — everything most organizers need to run and sell their first events on WordPress. Extensions add specific operational depth (like live seating plans, Stripe, offline payments, or guest bookings) for teams whose events outgrow the basics.
If you’re new to EventPrime, install the free plugin first. Browse extensions once you know what your events actually need.
