This guide provides a checklist of important points to verify before going live with a ticket sale (within the framework of the Infomaniak ticketing system) to best promote your events to the public.
Browse the checklist
Here is the list of the most important elements to check before going live with ticketing for your event.
The ticketing system must be visible (point 7b below) to perform the visibility checks on the shop. It can be visible and in test mode (point 7a) to prevent it from being published publicly.
- Has a bank account been added in the menu Accounting > Infomaniak Receipts?
- The integration link has been retrieved and integrated?
- Warning: the integration link has its own settings allowing to display/hide events in the “Content” sub-menu.
- Ensure that the relevant events are set to "Active" (only if the parameter "manually choose the elements to display" is activated).
- Are the Prices, Zones, Events set to Visible? To check this:
- Event: Settings > Event > green/orange/red text with eye symbol below the event.
- Zone: Settings > Event > Pricing > eye symbol to the right of each zone.
- Prices: same as zones, but open the zones to see the prices they contain.
- Are the desired payment methods (Sales > Payment Methods) activated?
- Is the organizer's information up to date (Settings > Ticketing Settings > organizer contact information) ?
- An email is mandatory, and a reachable phone number is strongly advised.
- Is the VAT set correctly?
- Are the passes/subscriptions ok? (Programming > Pass)
- Do they include all the events they grant access to?
- Are their capacities and prices ok?
- Are they visible in the shop? (eye symbol to the left of each pass in the list)
- In the menu Settings > Ticketing Settings :
- Deactivate test/demo mode.
- Activate ticketing.
Also, familiarize yourself with the startup guide to get a better overview of the possibilities offered by your ticketing tool.
This guide explains how to create a new ticketing system, or new period, within the framework of the ticketing system Infomaniak.
Preamble
- You can create multiple events within the same ticketing system:
- This “period” generally corresponds to an edition, season, or a highlight of your programming (2025-2026 season, summer 2026 festival…).
- It is simply a grouping framework; it does not technically isolate events as a new ticketing system would.
- Creating a new ticketing system allows you to structure and organize your ticket sales independently:
- You organize recurring seasons of events (cultural seasons, sports seasons).
- You manage several distinct clients (case of ticketing partners).
- You want to separate your sales, settings, or statistics from one series of events to another.
- You need separate management spaces, with different teams or access rights.
- This action should not be confused with the creation of a new Infomaniak Organization, which is much rarer and more restrictive (e.g., kCheck / kAuth level).
Add the online Ticketing tool
To start a new Infomaniak ticketing system:
- Click here to access the management of your products on the Infomaniak Manager.
- Click on Ticketing under the Events & Marketing universe.
- Click the blue Add button:
- Specify the name of the ticketing system, the currencies to be used, and the languages to be used on the ticketing system.
- Enter the user's details.
- Choose the default appearance of the ticketing system:
This information can be changed at any time in the ticketing settings.

This guide explains how to process refunds when canceling orders (within the framework of the ticketing system Infomaniak).
Infomaniak does not handle refunds
⚠️ Infomaniak does not process any refunds for end customers, as the terms of refunds, whether full or partial, in gift certificates, or by exchange, are defined by the event organizers
Infomaniak has no decision-making power regarding cancellations, refunds, or ticket exchanges. You can set up methods for ticket exchanges either at the ticket office or allow your customers to do it from the online ticketing system.
Depending on the refund method you wish to process, you will need to request the necessary information from customers who request it. You can also ask customers to provide it during the order.
Ticket cancellation
Refer to this other guide regarding ticket cancellations on the ticketing system for the various cancellation methods available. Also refer to this other guide regarding cancellation insurance.
