FooEvents

E-COMM
Velocity0.0

WooCommerce event management and ticketing plugin for selling tickets on WordPress.

A mature WooCommerce ticketing plugin ships slowly, chasing Checkout Block parity

woocommerceevent-ticketingwordpresscheckout-blockincremental
Current state
FooEvents is a long-running WooCommerce event-ticketing suite (tickets, attendee fields, multi-day, seating, PDF tickets, stationery). Its changelog cadence is slow — a handful of substantive posts a year — and recent work centers on the checkout and attendee experience: a rebuilt Attendee Details Page, ticket details on the Thank You page, and full WooCommerce Checkout Block compatibility.
Where it's heading
The near-term arc is catching up to WooCommerce's block-based checkout and cart, then layering feature-request-driven conveniences (table variation layouts, better ticket selection, faster event setup) on top of that stabilized flow. This is maintenance-plus-polish on an established plugin, not a change of direction.
Prediction
Expect continued Checkout/Cart Block hardening and more customer-requested display and setup options, at the same measured monthly-to-quarterly pace.
