The core kit
Everything an event needs
One plugin covers the full run of an event. No addon shopping list.
RSVPs with waitlist
Going, maybe, or no, with guest counts and capacity caps. When an event fills up, a waitlist catches the overflow.
Pro
Ticketing and payments
Sell paid tickets through Stripe, PayPal, or WooCommerce. Tax, booking fees, and coupons are built in.
Calendars and views
Grid, List, Month, and Upcoming views with pretty URLs and a visitor view switcher. Pro adds Week and Day grids.
Venues and organizers
A shared catalog of venues and organizers that any event can reference. Enter an address once, reuse it forever.
Member dashboard
The Manage Events page (/manage-events/), created on activation, where attendees track their RSVPs and organizers manage events, attendees, and exports in one place.
RSVPs
An RSVP flow people actually finish
Members RSVP in one click. Guests use a name and an email, then manage everything through a magic link.
- Three answers, plus guests. Going, maybe, or no, each with an optional guest count.
- Capacity and waitlist. Set a cap and the waitlist takes over when spots run out.
- Custom questions. Ten answer types, from short text to dropdowns and checkboxes, required or optional. Switch the feature on first.
Ticketing · Pro
Sell tickets, keep every dollar
Eventbrite-style platforms take a fee on every ticket. Eventonomy Pro charges a flat license, and your gateway fees are the only fees.
- Your choice of checkout. Stripe, PayPal, or hand checkout to WooCommerce.
- Real money math. Tax rates, booking fees, and coupon codes computed at checkout.
- Orders in your admin. Attendees, orders, refunds, and CSV exports live in your WordPress console.
The workflow
From draft to door
-
Create
Draft the event in the frontend event editor or the admin Events screen. Add tickets, questions, and capacity.
-
Publish
The event goes live at a pretty URL with SEO markup and an add-to-calendar button.
-
RSVPs roll in
Members and guests respond, the waitlist fills, and ticket orders land in your admin.
-
Remind
Branded emails and reminders a day and an hour before go out free. Pro sets your own timing and adds SMS via Twilio.
-
Check in
On event day, the Pro check-in scanner marks attendees at the door from any phone.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Eventonomy really free?
Yes. The free plugin includes unlimited events, RSVPs with waitlists, four calendar views, recurring events, and the member dashboard. Pro adds paid tickets and organizer tools on top.
Does Eventonomy use custom post types?
No. Events live in 10 custom database tables built for event data. Your event queries never compete with posts and post meta, so large sites stay fast.
Which payment gateways are supported?
Eventonomy Pro checks out through Stripe, PayPal, or WooCommerce. The free plugin handles free RSVPs and needs no gateway at all.
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. All 18 blocks are standard WordPress blocks that inherit your theme styles. They work in block themes and classic themes without template overrides.
Can guests RSVP without an account?
Yes. A guest RSVPs with a name and an email address. They receive a magic link to manage or cancel that RSVP later, no login required.
How do updates work?
Both plugins update from your WordPress dashboard like any other plugin. Pro updates and support require an active license key from wbcomdesigns.com.
