Galaxy Ticketing Integration

Integrate Gateway Ticketing’s Galaxy Connect directly into your website and keep visitors engaged from discovery to checkout.

What Is Galaxy?

Galaxy is a powerful ticketing and guest management platform widely used across museums, zoos, aquariums, and Arts & Culture institutions. It provides robust backend systems for selling tickets, managing reservations, memberships, and retail, typically through its own web portal. 

But while Galaxy handles transactions well, most businesses redirect users off-site to Galaxy’s portal, disrupting the customer journey and limiting design, functionality, and brand continuity. 

Learning and growing with your business

The Problem: A Disconnected Experience

When visitors arrive on your site and decide to book tickets, they’re often taken to a separate Galaxy-hosted domain to complete their purchase. This results in: 

  • Broken brand experience 
  • Limited customisation options 
  • Decreased trust and conversion rates 
  • SEO and analytics disruptions 
  • Loss of control over the checkout experience 

The Solution: Native Galaxy Integration

The Williams Commerce team have built a custom Galaxy integration module that pulls real-time ticketing data directly into your website, so: 

  • Guests stay on your website from start to finish 
  • Event listings, timed entries, and prices are fully synced 
  • Add-ons like parking, guidebooks, and top-up donations can be included 
  • Complex data capture for events such as menu selections, or access needs can be taken at point of sales 
  • Additional timed events such as guided tours can be purchased alongside admission in a single transaction 
  • You can conform to and report on HMRC Gift Aid data capture requirements  
  • Complex pricing (peak/off-peak, member discounts, etc.) is supported 
  • You retain full branding control 
  • You manage payments and checkout flow 
  • Performance is maintained through smart data caching and syncing
