Ticket design

With Santu you can use a pre-designed ticket design or upload your own custom PDF tickets.

Pre-designed

Santu creates a ticket based on the information you have provided and automatically sends it to the customer once payment has been approved.

Display location: enter the address where the event takes place

Instructions: enter special instructions which you want to display on the ticket.

Custom PDF ticket

upload a single page PDF document with the information about your event and leave some space for the QR code, so Santu can add it to the page. You will be able to resize the QR code and position on your page as required. Don’t make the QR code to large, as it will be harder to read for scanners.

Custom PDF ticket (multi-session)

For this ticket you have to leave space in the centre of the page to allow Santu to insert the session information, which differs for each session.
