Start in the admin panel
You're logged in and your Mollie account is connected — time for the fun part: your first event. In the admin panel, go to "New event". Here you fill in all the details your visitors will see later in a clear, well-organised form.
The basic details of your event
Fill in the core details of your event:
- Name — the title as visitors see it, for example "Summer Festival 2026".
- Start date and time — when your event begins.
- End date and time — when it finishes.
- Location — the place where it takes place.
- Description — tell people what visitors can expect. A good, clear description helps win over those who are on the fence.
Take your time with this: it's the calling card of your event.
Add at least one ticket type
An event without tickets can't be sold, so you add at least one ticket type. For each ticket type you set:
- Name — for example "Early bird", "Standard" or "VIP".
- Price — the amount the visitor pays.
- Capacity — how many tickets of this type are available.
Want to offer multiple prices or categories? Then feel free to add more ticket types. That way you can, for example, place an early bird discount and a more expensive VIP ticket side by side.
You can only publish once Mollie is connected
Before you can actually sell tickets, your Mollie account must be connected. That makes sense: without a payment method, a visitor can't check out. Payments run directly through your own Mollie account.
Want to test how everything looks first, without real payments? Then you can use the demo mode, so you can walk through the flow at your leisure before going live.
Draft versus published
An event has two states, and the difference is important:
- Draft — visible only to you in the admin panel. Visitors don't see this event yet. Ideal for preparing everything in peace.
- Published — the event appears on your public event page on your own subdomain. From this moment on, visitors can buy tickets.
So only press the "Publish" button once everything is truly right — although you can still make changes afterwards.
Updating later? No problem
Has something about your event changed — an adjusted start time, a new description or an extra ticket type? Via "Edit event" you easily adjust everything, even after your event is live. Your changes are immediately visible on your event page.
This way you keep full control over your event, from the very first draft to the last ticket sold.
