WEB WIDGET of BIL24 platform is used to sell tickets on the Internet. WIDGET can be embed into any website. If own website is absent, you can receive link to BIL24 container website, and sell tickets anywhere via this link, for example, in social networks. In any case, every ticket sale is owned by a specific BIL24 Agent, who’s frontend data (FID and token) are transferred through link. So, for these sales Agent receives rewards.
Examples of websites using WEB WIDGET: sochitop10.ru, museum-tickets.ru, kubantop10.ru.
WEB WIDGET can be used for selling merchandise and other goods. There is a special Mode for this. You can look up here how it works.
To install WEB WIDGET on owned website it’s required to download ARCHIVE and unpack it in website’s root directory. Folder “bilorder” will appear in this directory, where WEB WIDGET code is contained.
If you are to use BILW.ru container website then you don’t have to download WIDGET archive.
To create a link to WEB WIDGET you have to enter Manager App with Agent’s or Operator’s rights and open Widget tab (figure 1).
