Sell unique event tickets through your Shopify store
Ticket platforms like Eventbrite and Ticketmaster charge significant fees per ticket sold. If you already have a Shopify store and want to sell tickets directly — keeping full control of the customer relationship and avoiding per-ticket fees — Solara lets you do exactly that.
Why sell tickets through Shopify?
Your Shopify store already handles payments, taxes, and customer accounts. Adding event tickets as a product keeps everything in one place. The missing piece has always been delivering a unique ticket to each buyer — and that's what Solara provides.
Unlike generic digital download apps that send the same file to every customer, Solara assigns a different PDF ticket to each order. This means every attendee gets a distinct ticket with its own barcode, QR code, or serial number.
How it works
- Design your tickets — create PDF tickets with unique barcodes, QR codes, or serial numbers. Use any design tool — Canva, Figma, Adobe, or a ticket generator.
- Upload the batch — drop all your ticket PDFs into Solara. For a 200-person event, upload 200 unique tickets.
- Create your event product — set up your event as a Shopify product (with variants for different tiers if needed) and connect it to your ticket pool.
- Sell and deliver — customers buy through your store and receive their unique ticket by email within seconds.
Types of events
- Music and concerts — local gigs, live music nights, DJ sets.
- Food and drink — tasting events, supper clubs, food festivals, wine dinners.
- Community events — fundraisers, charity galas, school fairs, markets.
- Workshops and classes — art classes, cooking workshops, fitness bootcamps.
- Conferences — talks, meetups, networking events, industry days.
Key benefits
- No per-ticket fees — Solara charges a flat rate, not a percentage of each sale. Keep more of your revenue.
- You own the customer — unlike ticket platforms, customers buy directly from your store. You keep the relationship and the data.
- Unique tickets prevent fraud — each PDF is different, so tickets can't be duplicated or shared.
- Instant delivery — no waiting for tickets to arrive. Customers get their PDF seconds after buying.
- Inventory is automatic — when all tickets are claimed, the product can't oversell. You always know how many remain.
