To set up an e-commerce site using Webflow to sell event tickets and send printable and/or screen PDF tickets, I would recommend integrating with a third-party service called Zapier. Zapier is a powerful automation tool that allows you to connect different apps and automate tasks between them.

Here are the steps to integrate Zapier with Webflow for event ticket sales and PDF ticket delivery:

  1. Sign up for a Zapier account: Go to the Zapier website (zapier.com) and sign up for an account if you haven't already.

  2. Create a new Zap: In your Zapier dashboard, click on the "Make a Zap" button to start creating a new automation workflow.

  3. Choose Webflow as the trigger app: In the Zap editor, search for and select Webflow as the trigger app. You will need to connect your Webflow account to Zapier by providing your Webflow API key.

  4. Set up the trigger event: Select the "New Form Submission" trigger event in Webflow. This means that whenever a new ticket purchase is made on your Webflow site, Zapier will detect and trigger the next step in the automation.

  5. Choose the action app: In the next step of the Zap creation process, search for and select the app you want to use to send the PDF ticket. There are several options available such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or even email services like Gmail.

  6. Set up the PDF ticket delivery: Depending on the app you choose, you will need to follow specific instructions to configure the PDF ticket delivery. This may involve mapping fields from the Webflow form submission to fields in the PDF ticket.

  7. Test and activate the Zap: Once you have set up the PDF ticket delivery, it's important to test the Zap to ensure everything is working correctly. Once tested, activate the Zap to start automating the process.

With this Zapier integration, whenever someone purchases an event ticket on your Webflow site, the form submission will trigger the creation of a printable and/or screen PDF ticket using the selected app. The generated PDF ticket can then be delivered to the customer via email or saved in a cloud storage service for them to print or access digitally.

This integration provides a seamless and efficient way to sell event tickets using Webflow while automating the process of generating and delivering PDF tickets to your customers.
