What Tickera does
A focused ticketing plugin with QR check-in apps and no per-ticket fees.
It sits in the events part of a WordPress stack and is sold by Tickera on a premium basis. We recommend it in our events guides because it does that one job well without asking you to rebuild the rest of the site around it.
Every plugin adds work to a page request, so treat this as a decision with a cost. Record a speed test before you install it and run the same test afterwards, on the same page, so you know exactly what it charged you.
