Sell tickets and take registrations on your WordPress site. Start for free.

== Description ==

A certificate for every registration, a ticket for every event.

**Orbance** brings ticket sales and registration onto your WordPress site. Visitors stay on your page: they browse events, choose tickets and book – in the look of your website, without an extra tab.

From the first registration to the last certificate, Orbance supports the entire event process. For organizers, agencies and clubs as well as universities, chambers and education providers.

See an example shop (preview only, no real bookings): [shop.orbance.com/preview/orbance](https://shop.orbance.com/preview/orbance)

**Start for free** at [orbance.com](https://orbance.com).

### What you get on your website

* Events and booking right on your site
* A presentation that follows your theme
* Booking as an overlay or on a dedicated page
* Embed via shortcode, exactly where you need it
* Colors and language that match your brand

### The platform behind it

Orbance brings together what you need for events:

* Plan events: dates, venues, price tiers, capacity
* Capture registrations with forms you build once and reuse
* Your shop, your brand – optional custom domain
* All registrations in one place: bookings, attendees, team access
* From ticket to door: PDF, wallet passes and check-in
* Offers, invoices and certificates – when you need compliant documents

Two paths: classic **events** – or **continuing education management** for institutions.

GoBD-compliant, ZUGFeRD e-invoicing, hosting in Germany, DPA & TOMs.
