Embedded checkout in mobile app (React Native)

[Javier Felipe]

Summarize Problem:

Hello!

We are event organizers, and have an account in Eventbrite to sell tickets for our events. We would like to release a mobile app soon, and offer our audience the possibility to buy tickets there, linking it to our Eventbrite events. 

I'm trying to embed the checkout widget in the mobile app, created with React Native. I'm using the code shown here (https://www.eventbrite.com.br/platform/docs/embedded-checkout), but the widget does not work (after clicking the button, the "loading" circle appears on the screen and stays there, but nothing happens after that). I would really appreciate any help regarding this. Is it possible at all to embed this widget in a mobile app? If not, is there any other option to offer a ticket checkout experience in our app, linking it to Evenetbrite? 

Thank you very much! 

What have you already tried?

I have tried creating an HTML page with the widget code, and running it locally. I have the same problem as with the app, and after checking the browser's developer tools, I get this error message, regarding HTTPS certificates: 

For security reasons, the embedded checkout widget can only be used on pages served over https.

I wonder if I'm having the same problem with the mobile app (right now, I'm testing it in a mobile device using Expo).

Describe the expected results:

Hi Javier, 

I'm building a mobile app using Swift that integrates with Eventbrite. In order to show my events, I am using an embedded web view within the app. I am not super familiar with React Native, but I did find this article that may help you out. It looks like you have a similar tool for React Native.

I would embed a web view and simply link to your event from the mobile app. I've tested this user experience and it is pretty seamless in my opinion. It also allows for a nice checkout experience. 

Hope that helps!

Hello,

We are planning to implement similar functionality in our mobile App using ReactNative.

I have a question related to the order form. We have customized questions on our order form to get more details from people who go directly to eventbrite.

If users go from our App, we would just like to send their email address to the order form, Is that possible?

If yes,  please guide me.

Thanks & Rgds,

Hema.
