Not sure whether this is your setup? Send me your ticketing link and the WordPress calendar plugin you use. I will point you to the right guide.
1. Prepare your custom post type
Make sure the custom post type you want to use for events is registered in WordPress and public.
Jeero can import Ticketmatic events into the custom post type you select.
2. Enable custom post type imports
In the Jeero settings, enable custom post type imports before configuring this calendar target.
Jeero only shows this target when custom post type imports are enabled.
3. Install Jeero
Go to Plugins > Add New and search for Jeero.
Install and activate the plugin. Jeero adds its own admin section where you can connect a ticketing solution to one or more WordPress calendar plugins.
You do not need a paid Jeero plan to test the setup. The free plan is enough to confirm that Ticketmatic events are arriving in WordPress.
4. Connect Ticketmatic
Open Jeero in the WordPress admin and create a new import.
Choose Ticketmatic as the ticketing solution. Jeero will ask for:
- Account name: the Ticketmatic account Jeero should connect to.
- Public key: the public API key for that account.
- Secret key: the matching secret key.
If you are not sure which Ticketmatic account name or API keys Jeero needs, send me your public ticketing URL. I can usually tell what to ask Ticketmatic or your ticketing admin for.
Save the import. Jeero will check the connection and, when the API details are valid, load the available Ticketmatic sales channels and price types.
5. Choose Sales Channels and Price Types
After Jeero connects to Ticketmatic, choose the sales channels you want to import from.
Sales channels control which Ticketmatic events Jeero should consider for your website. If your venue uses multiple channels, start with the public website channel unless you know you need a different one.
Then choose the price types you want Jeero to use when importing ticket prices.
If the imported events look right but prices are missing or not useful, this is one of the first settings to check.
6. Enable Custom Post Type Import
Open the Custom Post Type tab in the Jeero import settings.
Enable the import and save your changes. Jeero will now send upcoming Ticketmatic events to the selected post type.
Start with the default import settings. After you have confirmed that events are syncing, you can decide whether Jeero should update event categories, images, and custom templates on first import only or on every import.
If your site uses Custom Post Type Pro and you group events by production, festival, or movie, you can later test whether series support is useful for your setup.
7. Check Your First Events
The first sync usually runs within a few minutes.
Go to Custom Post Type posts in the WordPress admin and check whether your upcoming Ticketmatic events appear. Open one imported event and confirm the basics:
- The title matches the Ticketmatic event.
- The date and time are correct.
- The description and image are present when Ticketmatic provides them.
- The venue information is present.
- The ticket link sends visitors to the right Ticketmatic ticket page.
- Prices appear when the selected price types provide usable prices.
If no events appear yet, wait a few minutes and check that the Jeero import is active, the selected sales channels contain upcoming public events, and the Ticketmatic API details are correct.
8. Show Events on Your Website
Custom Post Type creates an events page automatically.
You can find the URL in Events > Settings. Add the event archive or page to your navigation so visitors can browse upcoming events and click through to Ticketmatic for tickets.
Optional Import Improvements
Once the basic sync works, you can tune the import.
Good next improvements for this setup:
- Show Ticketmatic subtitles, web remarks, or practical information on event pages.
- Map Ticketmatic genres into WordPress event categories.
- Use selected price types to show useful ticket price information.
- Use custom fields when your theme needs structured event data.
- Test Custom Post Type series support when you group events by production, festival, or movie.
Ticketmatic can also provide extra fields for custom templates, such as event subtitle, event subtitle (2), practical info for the event, location details, and other platform-specific fields. Use them when your event pages, filters, or templates need more than the basic title, date, image, location, and ticket link.
Need the import to match your website more closely? Tell me what you want to show on the event page. Jeero can often support custom fields, category mapping, additional data, or platform-specific tweaks once the basic sync works.
Start with the Free Jeero Plugin
The free plan lets you test the full setup with up to 10 upcoming events. That is enough to check the Ticketmatic connection, review the imported event pages, and decide whether the workflow fits your website.
Want a final check before trying it? Send me your site URL and ticketing platform. I will tell you whether the free Jeero setup is enough or whether you need something custom.
When you are ready to sync more events, use more data, or polish the import for your site, you can upgrade Jeero later.
