Author, journalist, and former news anchor, Dan Rather, will serve as the American Bookselller Association’s spokesperson for this year's Indie’s First campaign, taking place on Small Business Saturday, November 28th. You can read the full announcement and more information about this campaign here.
In addition, we will be hosting an Indie’s First event with Dan Rather; complete with free, digital admission. IndieCommerce and IndieLite stores can build a web page containing the event registration, the book, a donation product for your store, and event details.
In this scenario, we are going to create a simple calendar ‘event’, include a link to Eventbrite for registration, and add the book and donation product as 'book lists'.
In this scenario, we are going to add the embed code for the Eventbrite registration to a web page, and add the book and donation product as 'book lists'. This will allow customers to register for the event without having to leave your website.
A sample of the embedded registration can be viewed here.
<div id="eventbrite-widget-container-129594840657"></div>
<script src="https://www.eventbrite.com/static/widgets/eb_widgets.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var exampleCallback = function() {
console.log('Order complete!');
};
window.EBWidgets.createWidget({
// Required
widgetType: 'checkout',
eventId: '129594840657',
iframeContainerId: 'eventbrite-widget-container-129594840657',
// Optional
iframeContainerHeight: 425, // Widget height in pixels. Defaults to a minimum of 425px if not provided
onOrderComplete: exampleCallback // Method called when an order has successfully completed
});
</script>
On the same event, you can include the book “What Unites Us” as well as a store donation product for customers to purchase. If you do not have a donation product, navigate to Store > Configuration > Account Information & Preferences > Store Features and send a request to enable the donation feature for your site.
You can link to this page a number of ways. As said above, you can create a menu item that will take customers to the event page. Or, you can add a banner on the home page and link it to this event.
