How to integrate SureCart with Eventin: A step-by-step setup process

We have a dedicated video where we showcase how to integrate SureCart with Eventin. Also, we shared how you can configure API setup, connect WebHook, and other stuff. For your hel,p you can check the video tutorial.

Apart from that, we do have the official documentation linked in the latter portion of this section.

However, here is a quick overview and gist of the tutorial. We hope you will be able to configure the settings and connect SureCart with Eventin right now.

Step 1: Set up your SureCart account and API Key

1. First, you need to go to the official SureCart signup page and create your account.
2. Once done, log in to your WordPress dashboard and install the SureCart plugin, then activate it.
3. In your SureCart dashboard, navigate to Account → API and create a new Secret API Key (or copy an existing one).
4. Now, go back to your WordPress admin panel and head to SureCart → Connection → API Key.
   • Paste the Secret API Key here and click Save Changes.
5. Next, open Settings → Store Settings inside SureCart.
   • Add your website URL as the Store URL and save it.
6. Ensure the same Store URL is also added in your SureCart account settings.
   Once done, your SureCart account and plugin setup are complete.

Step 2: Configure Eventin settings

1. Install and activate the Eventin – SureCart Addon (this may already be installed automatically in the latest version).
2. Go to Eventin → Extensions, then enable the SureCart addon.
3. Next, navigate to Eventin → Settings → Payment Methods.
   • Enable SureCart.
   • Paste your Secret API Key (the same one from your SureCart dashboard under API → Secret Key).
4. Save the settings to complete the connection.

Step 3: Connect the Webhook

Webhooks keep your event bookings and SureCart orders in sync, automatically updating booking statuses when a payment is completed, refunded, or canceled.

To set it up:

1. In your SureCart Dashboard, go to Settings → Webhooks.
2. Click Add Webhook Endpoint.
3. Copy the Eventin SureCart Webhook URL from your Eventin settings and paste it into the Endpoint URL field.
4. Under Events to Sync, select:
   • order.paid
   • refund.created
   • purchase.revoked
5. Click Create, and your webhook will become active.

Once active, any SureCart order updates (like payments or refunds) will automatically reflect in your Eventin booking status — no manual action needed.

Step 4: Test the Payment Process

1. Open an event from your website and add a ticket to the cart.
2. The checkout page will now show SureCart as the payment method.
3. Complete the checkout process to confirm the integration.
4. After a successful payment:

   • The booking will be marked as Completed in Eventin → Bookings.

Got problems? Here are some troubleshooting tips

Sometimes, small setup mistakes can stop the integration from working smoothly. If SureCart isn’t connecting, payments fail, or bookings don’t sync, try these quick checks before contacting support.

1. Invalid API key: If SureCart isn’t connecting or payments fail:

• Copy a new Secret API Key from SureCart → Account → API.
• Paste it in WordPress → SureCart → Connection → API Key and also in Eventin → Settings → Payment Methods.
• Save and test again.

2. Webhook not working: If bookings don’t update after payment:

• Copy the Webhook URL from Eventin → Settings.
• Go to SureCart → Settings → Webhooks, add it again, and select these events:
  • order.paid
  • refund.created
  • purchase.revoked
• Save and test.

3. Wrong store connection: If you see “Invalid store” or data mismatch:

• Check that your Store URL in SureCart matches your site’s actual URL.
• Update if you moved from staging to live.
• Reconnect if needed.

4. Payment errors: If checkout fails or no methods show:

• Make sure payment gateways are active in SureCart.
• Enable SureCart as the payment method in Eventin.
• Disable other conflicting payment plugins.

5. SSL or version issues: If pages don’t load or the webhook fails:

• Ensure your site has a valid HTTPS connection.
• Update Eventin, SureCart, and WordPress to the latest versions.

Tip: If you still face issues, contact support with screenshots of your SureCart and Eventin settings — it helps fix things faster.

Frequently asked questions

1. 1. Can I use SureCart with the free version of Eventin?

   Yes. The SureCart integration works with the free version of Eventin. However, using Eventin Pro unlocks extra features like advanced ticket options, multi-tier pricing, and email automation.

2. Do I need a paid SureCart plan to sell event tickets?

   No. The free SureCart plugin is enough to connect with Eventin and process payments. You can upgrade later if you need advanced checkout or subscription features.

3. Why isn’t my booking status updating after payment?

   This usually happens if the webhook isn’t set up correctly. Go to SureCart → Settings → Webhooks and make sure the Eventin webhook URL is added with these events selected: order.paid, refund.created, and purchase.revoked.

4. 4. Can I use other payment gateways with SureCart in Eventin?

   If SureCart is active for an event, it will handle all payments for that event. To use other gateways, disable SureCart for that event from Eventin → Settings → Payment Methods.

Conclusion

Integrating SureCart with Eventin gives you a fast, secure, and reliable way to sell event tickets right from your WordPress site. Once connected, your payments, bookings, and order updates all sync automatically, saving time and reducing errors.

Follow the setup steps, test your webhook, and keep your plugins updated for the best results. If you ever get stuck, our Eventin documentation and support team are always ready to help.
