Title, Selling Format, & PricingHow to Save Your Profile
Begin by choosing the macros for your title, subtitle, and description sections. Your macros will automatically fill your titles, subtitles, and descriptions from the ticket information you enter on the Edit Ticket Information page. This prevents the need to cut, paste, and replace text to establish these sections of your listings. Keep in mind that you can edit and polish this information later on with just a few clicks.
Use the 'Choose macro...' dropdown menu to select the macros for your title and subtitle. In the example illustrated below, we have chosen to display the number of tickets for sale, the event name, and the date for our title. Note than you can insert text between each macro field, such as TICKETS for or on like the example below:
(%%TIX_NumTix%% TICKETS for %%TIX_EventName%% on %%TIX_EventDate_MonDay%%).
If you created a listing using the macros in the illustration above, the resulting title would appear like:
2 TICKETS for San Francisco Giants - Toronto Blue Jays on 4/27
When selecting the macros for your description, keep in mind that Vendio has already set up a default description for you using simple HTML. The default macros are set to display your event information neatly into two tables, with supporting bullets just below the tables, as illustrated below:
2 TICKETS for San Francisco Giants - Toronto Blue Jays 04/27
