The Event Sharing tab gives you full control over how your ticket purchase links are shared, published, and updated across different sites and channels.

Online sales status

The online sales status tile allows you to instantly pause all tickets sales by clicking the "Pause Sales" button. This will immediately halt all users from being able to check out. You can unpause ticket sales by clicking the "Resume Sales" button anytime sales are paused.

Website publishing

The Website publishing tile allows you to publish your event to Sellout.io, and other Sellout Custom Sites sites that you control.

To publish your event to Sellout.io or any other Sellout Custom Site, click the toggle button to the right of the name of the site:

The green position (to the right) indicates that the event is being synced and published to that specific site. If you would like to unsync it, and remove the event from being published on the site, slide the slider to the left position (off).

Public vs. Private

Events can either be set to public or private. You can switch this by clicking the dropdown to the right of the site listing in the Website publishing tile.

Public - Are searchable on the site, and indexed by Google so that people can find the event page through google searches.

Private - Users must have a link to access the event page. These pages are not searchable, or indexed by Google.

Embed Buy Button

The Embed Buy Button feature allows your to place a "Buy Tickets" button anywhere, on any site that you own, instantly. With this feature, you can sell tickets through Sellout anywhere you please, on your own sites, or on partner sites.

To embed the buy button, it helps to have some developer skills.

Choose a button color and a font color to get started, then copy the text from the first dialogue box that says "Paste this code snippet into the <head> of your entire site".

If you do not know how to inject code into your site's header, please contact your webmaster. Here's a tutorial for a few popular site building platforms:

If you still need help embedding the <head> code, please contact our support by clicking the chat button in the bottom right corner of your screen.

After the head code is embedded, copy the text in the next dialogue box that says "Embed this code where you want the button to show up"

You can place this code directly onto your site using the "Code Embed" function found on all modern site builders. Here's some tutorials on how to do that:
