You're planning a workshop, a meetup or a live show, and you need one place for people to sign up. With Events, you get a registration page on your zorcha.link address for an in-person event. People register for free or pay, and you see everyone who signed up in one list.
Zorcha shows the full address to everyone who registers.
Before you start
Events is a product type in Products, next to Digital Product and Booking. It works in Instagram workspaces and in workspaces without Instagram.
For an online session, use Webinar instead.
You need a date to publish. A venue isn't required, but people need to know where to go.
For a paid event, set up payouts: Set up and verify your payout account. You can publish once your payout details are in, and people can pay once your payout account is active.
Step 1: Open Products
New to Zorcha? Sign up at zorcha.com. On Get Started, click Use email, enter your email and click Get Started.
Open the email we send you, type the 6-digit code under Check your inbox and click Verify Code. If you can't see the email, check your spam folder.
To sell without connecting Instagram, follow Start selling digital products on Zorcha — no Instagram login needed.
In an Instagram workspace, click Products in the left menu. If you don't see Products, contact support to check whether it's turned on for your workspace.
In a workspace without Instagram, Products has its own section in the left menu, with Availability, Payouts and Billing under it.
Already made an event? Open it from your product list, where its type shows as Events. To find it quickly, pick Events in the All Types filter.
The first time you open Products, Zorcha asks you to claim your store link and pick a theme: Claim your store link and pick a theme. After that, you see your product list.
Step 2: Create your event
On Products, click New Product.
Click Events (Host an in-person workshop, meetup or live event).
Under Name your Event, type a name, such as Creator Meetup, Bengaluru.
Click Create Product.
The editor opens on the Event tab. An event has no Files tab, because attendees don't download anything. A new event starts free, with a Register now button. Your edits save automatically.
You can't change a product's type later. If you picked the wrong one, create a new product.
Step 3: Add your details
On the Event tab:
Under Media, add a cover image or video.
Under Details, type an Event Name and a Description. Add Highlights if you like.
Under Event Details, pick the Event date, Start time and End time. Times use your event's time zone, which is India time until you change it in Settings. In India, the calendar starts from tomorrow, so you can't set an event for today. If the calendar opens cut off, scroll the field higher up the screen.
Type your Venue name and Address. Address suggestions aren't available yet, so type the full address yourself.
Add Getting there if people need directions, such as which gate to use.
Your public page shows the date, time and venue name. The full address, map link and Getting there stay hidden until someone registers.
Under Pricing, choose Free or Paid: Price your product: free or paid. When you set a price, the button changes to Get tickets.
Reviews is on for a new event, so your page shows an empty star rating before the event. Turn it off if you don't want that. Categories, FAQs and Upsell Products work as for other products: Write your product page: description, highlights, FAQs and media.
Step 4: Choose the settings
Open the Settings tab.
Call to action: what the registration button says. Pick Register now, Reserve my spot or Get tickets, or pick Custom and type your own, up to 20 characters.
Show attendee count: adds a line under your button saying how many people bought recently.
Limit available seats: stops registrations at the number you set. The button then shows Sold out. Show remaining seats doesn't appear on your public page yet, so leave it off.
Close registration early: stops registrations at the date and time you set. Without it, registration closes when your event starts. Set your event date first, because this switch fills in today if there's no date.
Time zone: change it here if your event isn't on India time.
Map link: paste a Google Maps link. People who register see it as Open in Maps.
Collect attendee phone number: on for a new event. Paid events always ask for a mobile number.
Cancellation & refund policy: pick your terms, then read the text Zorcha writes for you. If you pick Conditions apply, it talks about files, so rewrite that part for an event.
Collect additional information: add your own checkout questions. Free registrations don't ask for a name, so add a question if you need names at the door.
Moving your event earlier? Change the close time first. If Close registration early is on and the close time falls after your new start time, Zorcha doesn't save your edits and shows a Changes not saved message. Move the close time to on or before the start time, and your edits save again.
Step 5: Preview and publish
Click Publish when you're ready. Zorcha needs a date, and tells you if it's missing: Add a date before publishing this event. If your close time is after the start, you see Registration must close on or before the event starts.
If you haven't added payout details and your event is paid, Zorcha asks you to add them in Payouts first.
Edits you make after publishing go live when you click Update. The arrow next to Update has Discard changes and Unpublish. Unpublish also stops new registrations.
Once your event is live, its link shows at the top of the Event tab: zorcha.link/yourname/products/your-event. Copy it and share it: Share your product: copy link, Link in Bio, Instagram DM automations. Your event also shows on your Shop page with your other live products. The link only opens once the event is live, so don't share it while it's a draft.
What your attendees see
They open your page and see the date, time and venue name, along with your cover, name, highlights, description and button.
They tap the button and enter their email, plus their phone number if you ask for it. A free event has a Get for free button. A paid event uses the same checkout as other products: How buyers pay: checkout, UPI and cards.
They land on You're registered for your event, with the full address, Open in Maps and your directions.
Their receipt email has a button that brings them back to this page, so they can find the address again.
When your close time or start time arrives, the button shows Registration closed and nobody else can register.
Step 6: See who registered
Open your event in Products. The Overview tab ends with All Sales: one row per registration, with the attendee's email, the date and the amount.
Changed your date, time or venue after people registered? People who already registered still see the details from when they signed up, so email them the change. Their emails are in All Sales.
On your product list, the event's row shows your total and number of buyers: Read product revenue and buyer counts.
Limits and differences
No ticket or check-in: attendees don't get a ticket, QR code or calendar file. Use your All Sales list at the door.
One date per event: to run it again, duplicate it from your product list and pick a new date.
Refund window: it counts from the day someone registers, not from the day of your event.
