Want to ruin your events and lose money? Install Eventin.

If you hate making money, enjoy frustrating your customers, and love acting as an unpaid beta-tester for a broken product, Eventin by ThemeWinter is the perfect plugin for you.

I run a professional event business and made the mistake of relying on Eventin for my ticketing. It has been an absolute disaster that actively cost me sales and revenue. Here is what you can expect if you install this plugin:

1. The Disappearing Checkout: The ticket checkout box frequently just vanishes from the landing page. Why? Because the plugin is so poorly coded that it cannot handle standard caching. In modern WordPress environments, forcing users to disable caching just so your basic checkout button appears is completely unacceptable.
2. Critical Bugs: Stock synchronization is inaccurate (a nightmare for event capacity), and crucial automated confirmation emails frequently fail to send to attendees.
3. Zero Accountability: When your business inevitably loses money because their software fails to perform its core functions, do not expect any help or decency. Their support team will acknowledge the technical conflicts but hide behind a strict “15-day renewal refund policy.” They are perfectly happy taking your subscription money for a defective product and will copy-paste robotic corporate responses when you point out their software doesn’t work.

Ticketing is the lifeline of any event business. Eventin treats it like a hobby project. I have since migrated to a reliable, external ticketing platform and my conversion rates immediately restored.

Save your business, your marketing budget, and your sanity: stay far away from Eventin and ThemeWinter.
