How to manage a raffle with online and paper/in-person ticket sales

Learn how to effectively manage your raffle when selling both physical tickets in person and electronic tickets through Zeffy's platform.

Setting Up Your Raffle

Before starting your raffle, ensure you:
  1. Check your local Gaming Authority regulations regarding raffles and obtain any necessary licenses
  2. Determine how many physical tickets you plan to sell in person
  3. Set up your online raffle form on Zeffy

Managing Ticket Numbers

There are two recommended approaches for handling ticket numbers across both sales channels:

Option 1: Sequential Numbering

  1. Designate a specific range for physical tickets (e.g., tickets 1-1000)
  2. Contact Zeffy support to configure your online form to start generating electronic tickets after your physical ticket range (e.g., starting at ticket #1001) 
     

  3. This ensures no duplicate ticket numbers between physical and online sales

💡 You can contact Zeffy support by emailing contact@zeffy.com or using the chat box in the bottom right corner of your Zeffy dashboard! 

Option 2: Manual Entry

  1. Sell physical tickets in person
  2. Log all paper ticket sales manually into Zeffy to:
    • Track all sales in one place
    • Generate electronic tickets for paper sales
    • Maintain accurate records 
  3. To log offline ticket sales in Zeffy, check out detailed instructions here.
