The platform lets you create events, define ticket types with pricing, inventory, and dates, manage orders and customers, and process payments securely. The Payload admin panel provides full control over content and transactions. The architecture is modular, with separate features (checkout, events) and typed APIs.

Key features

• Events: name, localized rich‑text description, location, human‑readable dates, active/inactive status.
• Tickets: linked to an event, with name, description, optional schedule, price in cents, currency, inventory (capacity, soldCount, soldOut), active status, and sort order.
• Orders: purchase tracking with orderId, customer, event, ticket, status (pending, paid, failed, canceled), amount, quantity, billing info, and coupon.
• Stripe checkout: payment sessions, webhooks for checkout.session.completed, checkout.session.expired, payment_intent.failed.
• Automatic inventory: hooks update soldCount and soldOut on the ticket when an order becomes paid.
• Multilingual: next-intl with IT/EN messages and locale‑based routing.
