Release 2024.7.0 of pretix

Today, we are releasing pretix 2024.7.0. This release includes a new way to handle sales channels, an integration with GetYourGuide, and more. Big thanks go out to Alberto Ortega, Anarion Dunedain, Dirk-Jan Mollema, Erik Löfman, Felix Hartnagel, JnnisCanis, Kristian Feldsam, Nikolai, and Reece Needham who contributed to this release. ❤️

pretix 2024.7.0 is now available for installation via pip. The new Docker images will appear on Docker Hub over the next few hours. All customers of pretix Hosted are already using the new version and do not need to take any action.

GetYourGuide integration

GetYourGuide is one of Europe's most popular marketplace for tourist attractions. Whether you run a museum, city tours, stadion tours, or any other type of tourist activity, GetYourGuide might be a great place to advertise your products and reach a bigger audience.

To avoid this being an additional burden on your operative staff, we have now integrated GetYourGuide in a way that allows you to control everything from within pretix. After an initial setup, we will automatically push your offered dates and times with their prices and availability to GetYourGuide. If a traveller books a ticket on GetYourGuide, the ticket will automatically show up as a ticket booking in pretix as well, so you always have a full view of your bookings in one central place.

New sales channels

Historically, pretix has supported three so-called "sales channels": the pretix online ticket shop, the pretixPOS box office system and our reseller module. These sales channels serve two different purposes:

• They allow you to see the "source" any given order was created through, allowing you to create statistics that tell you which channels your customers use to buy tickets.
• They allow you to restrict certain events, products, variations, discounts, and shipping methods to a subset of sales channels, for example if you want to offer different prices at your box office than online.

With pretix 2024.7, we have rewritten the entire concept of sales channels in pretix for more future flexibility. We can now add more sales channels more easily without disruption in case we add new ways to buy tickets, as we already did with the before-mentioned GetYourGuide integration. These sales channels are opt-in in your organizer account and can be added once you need them.

Going even further, you can now even define your own custom sales channels for any API integrations you have with us. If you e.g. sell tickets through your custom API integration, you can now properly assign them to their very own sales channel.

Runtime and server environment

• This release will require a longer downtime than usual to migrate the database schema, especially if you have a large number of orders in your database.

• The updatestyles command required after updates is now named updateassets. The old name continues to work for now, but outputs a migration warning. It will also now run a lot faster since it needs to do a lot less.

Plugin API changes

• An experimental signal pretix.presale.signals.seatingframe_html_head has been added (that might be replaced again in a future release).

• The signals pretix.presale.signals.sass_preamble and pretix.presale.signals.sass_postamble have been removed, as pretix no longer generates any complex CSS files at runtime. You can output your own CSS files through pretix.presale.html_head instead and refer to theming variables as CSS variables like var(--pretix-brand-primary).

• The signal pretix.base.signals.register_sales_channels and the class pretix.base.channels.SalesChannel have been removed and replaced by the new pretix.base.signals.register_sales_channel_types and preetix.base.SalesChannelType that have a lot of additional functionality.

• All internal handling of sales_channel or sales_channels attributes on models has been migrated to foreign keys or many-to-many relationships to the new SalesChannel model. If you have models referencing sales channels in your plugin, you will need to migrate them accordingly. You can have a look at the migrations of the bundled pretix.plugins.ticketoutputpdf plugin for examples.
