StageShow provides a simple interface to define your Shows and then a single WordPress shortcode adds a online BoxOffice to your website.

StageShow uses its’ own integrated Shopping Trolley to collect orders, and the PayPal checkout to collect payments, which can be made using either a PayPal account or a credit/debit card. PayPal IPN (Instant Payment Notification) is used to record sales and to collect buyer information.

Each sale is fully recorded, with contact and payment details, tickets purchased and PayPal transaction number all saved to the WordPress database. Confirmation emails, which can be customised as required, are sent to each purchaser and can be copied to the system administrator.

EMails are in text only format, and the PayPal transaction number if included for validation purposes. StageShow includes the facility on the admin pages to verify the transaction number for use at show time

StageShow includes the facility to export sales to a "TAB Separated Text" file for further analysis or processing by other programs (i.e. Spreadsheets etc.).

An online demo (for all StageShow Variants) is available here.
