Creating pages in the ticketshop
Under the 'Pages' tab, you can create multiple pages within a shop, just as a website can have multiple pages. This allows you to clearly separate different products, such as events, season tickets, and training sessions. As a result, it becomes easier for your visitors to find and purchase the right products.
Step 1. Create a new page by clicking on ‘+ Add New Shop Page’.
Step 2. Give the page a name and fill in a description. The description will appear on the shop page. In the description, you can further explain the products being sold.
Step 3. Next, under ‘Events’ and ‘Subscriptions’, you can specify what should be visible in the shop. The blocks of elements that should be visible in the shop must be dragged to the right, into the ‘Selected’ category. Blocks can also be dragged back if you decide you do not want them visible in the shop.
