About FooEvents
A mature WooCommerce ticketing plugin ships slowly, chasing Checkout Block parity
FooEvents is a long-running WooCommerce event-ticketing suite (tickets, attendee fields, multi-day, seating, PDF tickets, stationery). Its changelog cadence is slow — a handful of substantive posts a year — and recent work centers on the checkout and attendee experience: a rebuilt Attendee Details Page, ticket details on the Thank You page, and full WooCommerce Checkout Block compatibility.
