Introduction #

Starting an event on Oveit is straightforward, allowing you to create and manage events with ease. Whether you’re hosting a small gathering or a large conference, Oveit provides the tools you need to set up everything from ticketing to event details. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating an event on Oveit, highlighting key features and options available at each step.

Step 1: Creating Your Event #

Once you’ve created an account on Oveit, the first thing you’ll likely want to do is create your event. Here’s how:

1. Navigate to the Events Section: Log into your Oveit account and go to the “Events” section.
2. Click on Create Event: You’ll see a big blue button labeled “Create Event.” Click on it to start setting up your event.

Depending on your subscription plan—Starter, Pro, or Hub—you may have access to different features. However, the basic event creation process remains consistent.

Step 2: Setting Up Event Overview #

The event creation process is divided into four main steps:

1. Overview: Here, you’ll input the basic information about your event. This includes the event name, description, and any relevant images or links. You can also add a cover photo and a gallery of images under the media section.
2. Location: Specify where your event will be held by entering the venue details, such as the “Austin Convention Center.”

Step 3: Configuring Advanced Settings #

Next, you’ll set up advanced options for your event:

1. Custom Registration Forms: If you need to collect specific data from attendees, enable custom registration forms. This option allows you to create forms tailored to your event’s needs.
2. Ticket Setup: Click on “Create Ticket” to begin setting up your ticket types. For example, you can create a “General Access” ticket and set its price. If you’re hosting a free event, simply leave the price field blank.
   • Payment Processing: To start selling tickets, connect your payment processor. Oveit supports several options, including Stripe.
   • Ticket Options: You can add descriptions, set ticket availability (e.g., early bird or general access), and define the number of tickets available. Additionally, Oveit offers a unique add-on feature where you can include benefits like merchandise or special access on top of the ticket.
3. Branding: If you have a Pro or Hub account, you can brand your tickets with a logo, cover photo, and additional details to enhance your event’s professional appearance.

Step 4: Customizing Emails and Checkout #

Oveit allows you to customize the emails sent to your attendees and the checkout process:

1. Email Notifications: Customize confirmation emails that are automatically populated with your event details. You can personalize the subject and content to match your brand’s tone.
2. Event Reminders: Set up reminders that are sent to attendees before the event. These can include Google Maps links to the venue and the e-tickets.
3. Checkout Options: Tailor the post-registration experience by customizing the checkout text or redirecting attendees to a thank-you page.

Step 5: Setting Up Registration Forms #

In this step, you’ll determine what information you want to collect from your attendees:

1. Add Fields: Start by adding fields like name, email, and company. You can include drop-down lists or multiple-choice options to gather specific information.
2. Mandatory Fields: Mark certain fields as mandatory if they are required for event registration.

Step 6: Preview and Publish Your Event #

Once you’ve configured all settings, you can preview how your event will look:

1. Preview Event: This section provides a visual representation of your event page, including all the details and ticketing options you’ve set up.
2. Publish Event: If everything looks good, click “Publish Event” to make your event live. Your event page will now be accessible to attendees, and you can start selling tickets.
