A performing arts organization needed to integrate its Spektrix ticketing platform seamlessly into its WordPress website. The existing solution required visitors to navigate away from the main site to purchase tickets or make donations, resulting in a disjointed user experience that affected conversion rates.

Solution

A custom integration was built to embed Spektrix’s ticketing and donation functionality directly into the WordPress site. The solution provides a unified experience that lets visitors browse events, select seats, and complete purchases without leaving the organization’s branded environment.

Technical Implementation

• Shortcode system for embedding Spektrix pages, including event listings, calendars, seat selection, and secure checkout processes.
• Dual donation interface supporting both one-time and recurring monthly contributions with custom amount configuration.
• Spektrix Web Components integration for native donation and membership widgets that maintain consistent branding.
• Dynamic iframe embedding with automatic height adjustment and custom stylesheet support for seamless visual integration.
• WordPress dashboard widget displaying real-time event data from the Spektrix API with smart caching for performance.
• Advanced Custom Fields integration provides admin controls for donation amounts, membership tiers, and platform configuration.
• URL parameter handling for direct linking to specific events, series, and seating interfaces from marketing campaigns.

Results

The integration created a cohesive ticketing and donation experience that keeps visitors engaged within the organization’s branded environment. Administrative staff gained centralized control over donation amounts and membership tiers through an intuitive settings panel. Real-time event data now appears directly in the WordPress dashboard, streamlining content management workflows.
