# Events Manager Pro

> Events Manager Pro is the paid add-on for Events Manager, the free WordPress plugin for event calendars, registration and bookings. Pro adds online payments through your own PayPal, Stripe, Square, Authorize.net or Xero account with no commission, custom booking and attendee forms, coupons, PDF tickets and invoices, QR check-in, waitlists, signatures and waivers, automation and priority support. It is sold as a yearly license per site by Pixelite, the plugin's maintainer since 2009.

## What Pro is

- An add-on plugin, currently version 3.9.3, that installs alongside the free [Events Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) plugin (version 7.4.4, more than 60,000 active installations). Pro never replaces the free plugin; existing events, bookings and settings are kept.
- Two plans: Pro, with every Pro feature, and Pro Plus, which adds every separately sold add-on: Events Manager I/O (imports and exports), Events Manager Connect (WhatsApp, Telegram and SMS), the mobile app, and reserved seating when it ships.
- Pro features: PayPal, Stripe, Square, Authorize.net, Xero and offline payments; custom booking forms and individual attendee forms with upload fields; digital signatures and waivers with a sealed audit record; PDF tickets and invoices sent automatically; QR code and mobile check-in; waitlists; coupons and discounts; manual bookings; moving bookings between dates; multiple bookings in one checkout; automated RSVP policies; customizable emails and reminders; automation triggers with email and webhook actions; transaction history; reCAPTCHA.
- Everything is self-hosted. Payments go to your own gateway account and attendee data stays in your WordPress database.
