Hosting an external page as a subsection within a wordpress page

  • To be clear here, I’m not an advanced user. I’m not even sure this is possible. I’ve tried several ways to phrase searches on the forums for this issue but unfortunately the keywords are quite common.

    I would like to sell tickets to a thing. These tickets can be purchased at an outside custom site that I can link directly to the buy page where people select details and purchase the ticket.

    Unfortunately that custom site has a VERY painful turnaround for changes, and getting them to add a “back to kytacular’s awesome wordpress site here!” button at the end of the process is going to be equivalent to pulling teeth.

    The page is secure, everything’s https, I’m just wondering how I could display the ticket purchasing page in part or in whole within my own wordpress page, if that’s possible. This is not a very large company with an existing API for this purpose.

    If this has been answered before, I would be more than satisfied with a link to a previous entry for it. As I stated, I was unable to find one in my searches.

    Thank you for any assistance you may be able to render.

  • What is the ticket sales service you are using? Sometimes they provide code snippets you can use to share the sales page within a WordPress site.

    They are small and do not by default have this option. It’s “something they can work on and get back to us on” which translates to not any time in the near future. I’m looking to get this site running and palatable in a shorter time frame than that if possible/practical.

    I would suggest using an iframe then.
    You can learn how to create an iframe here: https://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_iframe.asp

    or use this generator:

    Hope this helps. Once you find a solution please tag the thread as resolved.

    You can create a link to the ticket sales site or the page you need to send your visitor to and use the target=”_blank” attribute to open a new tab or window for your visitor to use while on the other site. When they close that window or tab they should wind up back on your site.
