Ticket embeds

Usetix lets you place a compact ticket box on your own website. Your visitors choose ticket quantities directly on your page, then continue to the normal hosted Usetix checkout.

Use this when your event already has a full website, festival page, venue page, or campaign landing page and you only want Usetix to handle ticket selection, checkout, payment, invoices, ticket delivery, and check-in.

How it works

Each event has an embed URL:

https://your-shop-domain/events/spring-showcase/embed

The embed is built for an iframe. It shows the event name, date, venue, available tickets, quantity controls, cart total, and a checkout button.

When the buyer clicks checkout, Usetix opens the hosted checkout as a top-level page. Checkout is not completed inside the iframe. That keeps payment redirects, legal consent, invoice fields, custom checkout questions, promo codes, stock reservation, and ticket delivery inside the normal Usetix flow.

Add the iframe

Open the event in Usetix, open the event actions menu, and choose Embed ticket box. Usetix shows the iframe snippet, the normal hosted event link, and preview links for the embed.

The iframe snippet looks like this:

<iframe
  src="https://your-shop-domain/events/spring-showcase/embed?ref=embed"
  title="Tickets for Spring Showcase"
  style="width:100%; min-height:420px; border:0;"
  loading="lazy">
</iframe>

Paste it into the page where tickets should appear. The iframe is intentionally simple: no floating widget script, no auto-resize script, no extra tracking script. Start with at least 420px height and adjust if your ticket list needs more room.

If your website builder does not allow iframes, use the hosted event link shown on the same embed page.

Private and hidden tickets

Hidden tickets keep working through access codes. If your event has hidden ticket types, the embed setup page shows separate snippets for those tickets.

A private-ticket embed URL includes code:

https://your-shop-domain/events/spring-showcase/embed?ref=embed&code=vip

Only people who load the embed with the right code see that hidden ticket. The same code is carried into checkout.

Preview and unpublished events

Published events can be embedded right away. Draft or unpublished events use the same preview protection as the normal Usetix shop, so you can test the embed before making the event public.

When the event is live, share or embed the public URL without the preview token.

Attribution and promo codes

Embed URLs can carry the same campaign parameters as normal shop links:

Parameter	What Usetix keeps
utm_source	Platform or partner, such as instagram, newsletter, or venue-site.
utm_medium	Channel, such as social, email, or affiliate.
utm_campaign	Campaign name.
utm_term	Paid-search keyword, if relevant.
utm_content	Creative or placement variant.
ref	Free-form referral code. Embed snippets default to ref=embed.
promo	Promo code to prefill/apply in checkout when valid.

Those values are passed from the iframe into checkout and saved on the order. You can see attribution in the order detail and in webhook payloads. For the broader attribution model, see UTM tracking.

What the embed does not do

• It does not replace your Usetix checkout.
• It does not process card, wallet, PayPal, or local payments inside the iframe.
• It does not expose a custom checkout API.
• It does not include a floating launcher or auto-resizing script.

This keeps the integration small and robust: your website owns the event storytelling, Usetix owns the buying flow.
