FAQ and Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
=======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How can I test my shop before taking it live?
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are multiple ways to do this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First, you could just create some orders in your real shop and cancel/refund them later. If you don't want to process
|
||||||
|
real payments for the tests, you can either use a "manual" payment method like bank transfer and just mark the orders
|
||||||
|
as paid with the button in the backend, or if you want to use e.g. Stripe, you can configure pretix to use your keys
|
||||||
|
for the Stripe test sytem and use their test credit cars. Read our :ref:`Stripe documentation <stripe>` for more
|
||||||
|
information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Second, you could create a separate event, just for testing. In the last step of the :ref:`event creation process <event_create>`,
|
||||||
|
you can specify that you want to copy all settings from your real event, so you don't have to do all of it twice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We are planning to add a dedicated test mode in a later version of pretix.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using the hosted service at pretix.eu and want to get rid of the test orders completely, contact us at
|
||||||
|
support@pretix.eu and we can remove them for you. Please note that we only are able to do that *before* you have
|
||||||
|
received any real orders (i.e. taken the shop public). We won't charge any fees for test orders or test events.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How do I delete an event?
|
||||||
|
-------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is currently not possible to delete events, you can just disable the shop by clicking the first square on your event
|
||||||
|
dashboard. Events can't be deleted as they most likely contain information on financial transactions which legally
|
||||||
|
needs to be kept on record for multiple years in most countries.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are using the hosted service at pretix.eu and want to get rid of an event that you only used for testing, contact
|
||||||
|
us at support@pretix.eu and we can remove it for you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Why doesn't my product show up in the ticket shop?
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you created a product and it doesn't show up, please follow the following steps to find out why:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Check if the product's "active" checkbox is enabled.
|
||||||
|
2. Check if the product is in a category that has the "Products in this category are add-on products" checkbox enabled.
|
||||||
|
If this is the case, the product won't show up on the shop front page, but only in the first step of checkout when
|
||||||
|
a product in the cart allows to add add-on products from this category.
|
||||||
|
3. Check if the product's "Available from" or "Available until" settings restrict it to a date range.
|
||||||
|
4. Check if the product's checkbox "This product will only be shown if a voucher matching the product is redeemed." is
|
||||||
|
enabled. If this is the case, the product will only be shown if the customer redeems a voucher that *directly* matches
|
||||||
|
to this product. It will not be shown if the voucher only is configured to match a quota that contains the product.
|
||||||
|
5. Check that a quota exists that contains this product. If your product has variations, check that at least one
|
||||||
|
variation is contained in a quota. If your event is an event series, make sure that the product is contained in a
|
||||||
|
quota that is assigned to the series date that you access the shop for.
|
||||||
|
6. If the sale period has not started yet or is already over, check the "Show items outside presale period" setting of
|
||||||
|
your event.

Using a custom domain
|
||||||
|
=====================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default, event shops built with pretix are accessible at ``https://<domain>/<organizer>/<event>/``, where
|
||||||
|
``<domain>`` is ``pretix.eu`` if you are using our hosted service and ``<organizer>`` and ``<event>`` are the short
|
||||||
|
form versions of your organizer account name and event name, respectively.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, you are also able to use a custom domain for your ticket shops! If you work for "Awesome Party Corporation"
|
||||||
|
and your website is ``awesomepartycorp.com``, you might want to sell your tickets at ``tickets.awesomepartycorp.com``
|
||||||
|
and with pretix, you can do this. On this page, you find out the necessary steps to take.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With the pretix.eu hosted service
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 1: DNS Configuration
|
||||||
|
#########################
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Go to the website of the provider you registered your domain name with. Look for the "DNS" settings page in their
|
||||||
|
interface. Unfortunately, we can't tell you exactly how that is named and how it looks, since it is different for every
|
||||||
|
domain provider.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use this interface to add a new subdomain record, e.g. ``tickets`` of the type ``CNAME`` (might also be called "alias").
|
||||||
|
The value of the record should be ``www.pretix.eu``.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 2: Wait for the DNS entry to propagate
|
||||||
|
###########################################
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Submit your changes and wait a bit, it can regularly take up to three hours for DNS changes to propagate to the caches
|
||||||
|
of all DNS servers. You can try checking by accessing your new subdomain, ``http://tickets.awesomepartycorp.com``.
|
||||||
|
If DNS was changed successfully, you should see a SSL certificate error. If you ignore the error and access the page
|
||||||
|
anyways, you should get a pretix-themed error page with the headline "Unknown domain".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Step 3: Tell us
|
||||||
|
###############
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Write an email to support@pretix.eu, naming your new domain and your organizer account. We will then generate a SSL
|
||||||
|
certificate for you (for free!) and configure the domain.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With a custom pretix installation
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you installed pretix on a server yourself, you can also use separate domains for separate organizers.
|
||||||
|
First of all, configure your webserver or reverse proxy to pass requests to the new domain to pretix as well.
|
||||||
|
Then, go to the organizer account in pretix and click the "Edit" button. Enter the new domain in the "Custom Domain"
|
||||||
|
field, then you're done!
