My event is not showing up in my online store

Hi, 

 

I created am event a week ago and had it listed as unavailable until today. I went back in to update a few details and set the event to "visible" and, it does not show under any category that I select it to be under.

 

Is there something I might be missing or is this a small glitch? This is my first time using the event item type.

 

Thanks

Hey @SOVeganly!

 

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community 🌻

 

Can you take a screenshot of the item after you go to Square Online > Items > and select the event? 

 

I'd like to take a look at your settings! 👀

Hey @swallowcoffee

 

Just to be sure - is it marked as visible when you click on the event in Square Online > Items?

@swallowcoffee

 

These events?

 

 

You'll want to go to Categories > Events on your homepage.

Hi @AMol Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Community 😊

 

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble settings up your event. Can you post a link to your site, and let us know the event name so we can take a look? 

 

You may need to reach out to the support team directly, but we can let you know if we see anything that looks off.

@libertyfarmmark did you ever get a reply or a solution? 

 

This is a big issue here too, and I've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. It would be so great if someone would share how this is actually supposed to be set up (or fix the usability issues!!!). I'm trying to set up events, and have gone through all the settings I can find, and nothing I do makes them show up on my site. I can link to them directly! But that's not what I'm trying to do. Thanks.

I have strangely found a solution. If you globally set your business as NOT having "pickup" in the "fulfillment" section, then events magically appear...

I have to add an "events" section to my online shop. They wont show up otherwise.

Hello there @Botanicalbakes and welcome to the Seller Community

 

At this time events can only be listed under the Events section. Sorry for the confusion there. If you wish they would be listed in a different way, I recommend submitting a feature request here

 

Important: When submitting a request, make sure to include the desired feature, and provide the details of how this feature will help your business succeed (how would you use it and what you expect from it).
