This page shows how to take event registration through Zeffy, with the Zeffy form embedded in the event page. It works with the classic event page and with the newer event layouts.

How to set it up

  1. In Zeffy, open your registration (ticketing) form.
  2. Select Share, then More ways to share, then Embed. Zeffy’s menus change from time to time; you are looking for the embed code for the form.

  3. In the embed code, find the address that starts with https://www.zeffy.com and contains /embed/. It looks like this:

    https://www.zeffy.com/embed/ticketing/your-form-name

  4. In your event’s data file in _data/events/, set these two keys:
registrationtype: zeffy
registrationurl: https://www.zeffy.com/embed/ticketing/your-form-name
  1. Submit a pull request as usual. See how to submit a PR.

You only pass the address. The site adds the rest of Zeffy’s embed code for you.

What attendees see

  • The Zeffy form appears inside the event page, so people register without leaving it.
  • Every Register now button on the page jumps to the form.
  • With one of the newer layouts, registration is hidden once the event day has passed.

FAQ

Which Zeffy address do I use? The embed address, the one with /embed/ in it. The regular share link to your form will not embed.

Do I paste Zeffy’s whole embed code into the data file? No. Only the address goes in registrationurl.

How do I go back to a plain Register now button, for Eventbrite or another site? Leave registrationtype blank and put the link in registrationurl:

registrationtype:
registrationurl: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/your-event

What if my event already uses eventbriteembed? eventbriteembed wins. Remove it if you want the Zeffy form to show.

The form is not showing. What should I check?

  • registrationtype is spelled zeffy, in lower case.
  • registrationurl is the embed address and the form is published in Zeffy.
  • With one of the newer layouts, the event date in date has not passed.

Is there an example I can copy? Yes. See _data/events/PosterTemplate2027.yml and its page at /PosterTemplate2027/.

Can I take sponsorship payments the same way? Yes. See Zeffy sponsorship payments.

Where can I see all of the example pages? The 2027 examples use Zeffy for registration and sponsorship. The 2026 examples show a finished event.
