Selling seats means renting a platform
Webinar tools and ticket platforms charge monthly, or take a slice of every seat you sell.
For educators and creators
Sell seats for your workshops without renting a platform.
Workshops, webinars, and cohort kickoffs sell from your own WordPress site. Flat license, five gateways, and no per-seat cut.
Free RSVPs and series cost nothing · paid checkout is a Pro capability
Sounds familiar?
Teaching is the easy part
People book, then forget
A workshop bought three weeks ago is easy to miss. Every no-show is a refund conversation.
The class schedule is manual labor
A six-week cohort means six event listings, typed by hand, updated by hand, one at a time.
Paid seats · Pro
Price the seat, keep the revenue
Create early-bird and standard seats with their own prices, caps, and sale windows. Checkout runs through your gateway, and only your gateway takes a fee.
- Coupons built in. Give alumni a code, run a launch discount, cap its uses.
- Five gateways. Stripe, PayPal, Square, Mollie, or WooCommerce checkout.
- Reports included. Pro's backend reports show sales and attendance per event.

Reminders · Pro
No-shows shrink when reminders are automatic
Pro sends a reminder email to every confirmed attendee before each session starts. Add SMS through Twilio for the people who never open email.
- Your timing. 24 hours before, 2 hours before, whatever fits the class.
- Your words. Pro's custom email templates let you rewrite the reminder copy.
- Confirmations are free. Booking and cancellation emails work in the free plugin.
Series and calendars · Free
The cohort lands in their calendar
A six-week course is one recurring rule: every Monday at 7:00 pm, six times. Students add sessions to Apple, Google, or Outlook with one click.
- Recurring series, free. Each session gets its own page, date, and attendance list.
- Subscribable feed. Students subscribe once and schedule changes sync to their calendar.
- Move one session. Reschedule a single date without rebuilding the course.

Grows with you
Workshops today, courses when you're ready
Eventonomy is not an LMS, and that is the point: it does live sessions well. When you add self-paced material, Learnomy LMS comes from the same maker and the same design language.
One WordPress site runs the kickoff event, the course content, and the community.

Questions
Educators ask
Which payment gateways can I sell seats through?
Eventonomy Pro checks out through Stripe, PayPal, Square, Mollie, or WooCommerce. Coupons, tax, and booking fees are computed at checkout.
Do I need a full LMS to run workshops?
No. Eventonomy handles the session, the seats, and the reminders. When you grow into courses and lessons, Learnomy LMS from the same maker pairs with it.
Can attendees add sessions to their own calendar?
Yes, free. Every event offers ICS downloads for Apple, Google, and Outlook, and a subscribable feed keeps a whole series in sync.
Your next cohort can go on sale today
Publish the series, set the seat price, share the link. The platform fee stays at zero.
