The most important news of our event platform

We've been using 3D Secure 2.1 for a while now, even though it's not mandatory until September. Built around two-factor authentication, this means your credit card transactions enjoy even more security as it ensures that ticket buyers are the lawful card holders. This reduces the risk of fraud significantly, and makes chargebacks from card misuse a thing of the past.

3D Secure 2.1 is also extremely user-friendly, making it a breeze to buy tickets.

Previously, you had to jump back and forth between the business platform XING and your XING EventManager on xing-events.com to set up your attendee registration and promote your event to your network. Now, we improved the connection between the platforms.

You can do everything in your XING EventManager on xing-events.com:
•   create your ticket shop or attendee registration
•   add ticket categories
•   edit your event page on XING
•   upload event logo and banner to your event page on XING
•   define your target group on XING
•   and more

If you’re using our API, you can also use it to update and edit your event page on XING, now. Your XING EventManager on xing-events.com is now your “one-stop-shop”. Manage all your events here, with or without ticketing or registration – no need to switch platforms anymore.

You can set up, edit and monitor your events on a tablet, your phone or other mobile devices and enjoy a much better experience. The interface will adapt to your screens in optimum resolution. This will grant you a better overview, i.e. you’ll see more of the content in your tables and need less scrolling.

There’s also a new design waiting to be discovered. Have a look on xing-events.com!

With the improved connection between the XING business platform and the XING TicketingManager, the XING TicketingManager will be renamed. From now on, you can set up, edit and manage events, here. Therefore, it will become your central location for all your events and your “XING EventManager”.

In order to maintain transparency, comprehensibility, and legibility for our users, we have made a few technical or procedural clarifications and updates to our General Terms and Conditions. The rights of users and the scope of services are of course not impaired by this.

We have made the following changes:
“Hallo Freelancer” joins the XING applications.
A note has been added regarding the test booking of a minimum amount to verify the credit card.
The joint and several liability of XING SE and XING S.á r.l. for scenarios in which users pay their premium membership with a Mastercard or a Visa credit card has been terminated. XING S.á r.l. has been definitely dissolved and liquidated.
Clarifications and purely procedural adjustments regarding XING Events have been made (billing via credit card or instant bank transfer will be handled by a new service provider, ticket purchasers do not necessarily have to be attendees of the event, etc.).

You have news about your event? Reach prospects of your event directly on their XING home page. With the new event updates, you can address visitors of your event page again – directly on the XING home page.

You can now edit your payment options yourself and keep an overview over the whole process. In the “Advanced settings”, you can activate and edit payment methods as required. Learn more

Copying previous events and thus saving time when creating future events is now even easier. You can create a copy that already contains all the necessary information of the original, such as title, venue, date, logo, banner, and so on. The ticket shop is also directly duplicated during the copy process and contains the event-specific information. In draft mode, the copied event includes “Copy from” in its title which you can of course edit before publishing the event if required.

After creating an event, there are sometimes phases in which the whole process progresses rather sluggishly. Information is missing, details are still unclear, and ticket sales are delayed. “Clara” supports you with many helpful and customised tips at all times.

In order to make the ticket sales process even more flexible and to offer our organisers the greatest possible choice, from October on, it will be possible to add your own payment methods to the TicketingManager. These include crypto currencies like Bitcoin or Ether, check payments, and any other payment method imaginable, which you can now individually link to your own payment page. You can also have the monthly balance paid out to your own account from now on.
