This article covers the push feed enhancements, integration requirements, and the transition timeline to ensure your systems stay up to date.
What’s the push feed?
The push feed is a service we've built from scratch. In addition to enabling blazing fast updates, we also took this opportunity to implement the most requested improvements.
The push feed is a high-performance service built from the ground up. In addition to enabling blazing-fast updates, it includes our most requested improvements.
The following features are included in Limited (and are also available in Extended):
Program items
Sale start & online / door sale end times
Accounting ID
Technical Contact: You can provide an email address per publication channel so Stager can directly notify your developers of feed upgrades or changes.
Granular Status: The soldOut status is provided per ticket type rather than per event.
Door Sales: Ticket amounts and soldOut status for door sales are included.
Improved Media: There is a clear distinction between the Main image and Additional images.
Publication Control: You can set different publish dates for 'My publication channels' and 'Partner channels,' allowing you to publish event info to your own channels before notifying partners.
Specific to Extended:
Expected visitor counts: This additional data point is included exclusively in the Extended feed.

How do I manage a custom integration?
If you have built a custom integration with our feed, that integration needs to be adjusted. This is something technical and needs to be done by your web developer. Check out the attached documentation on how to integrate with the feed.
How do I update the WordPress Jeero plugin?
Many Stager organizers that have a WordPress CMS connected with our feed, do so with the Jeero plugin. Jeero offers seamless integration with Stager and all popular WordPress calendar plugins. To change to the push feed with Jeero, follow these few steps.
If you're already working with Jeero, the transition will be quick and hassle-free. If you aren't yet working with Jeero but desire an easy switch, get in touch with Jeroen today!
What if I use other plugins?
If you’re using a different plugin to connect your website’s CMS to the feed, please reach out to your web developer.
How do I use the Calendar feed?
Stager offers a calendar feed. If you connect this to your own calendar app on your phone, for example, you will see all events published to this channel in your own calendar. There is a link to share all events shared to this channel and this can be adjusted per event label.
You will find all the different links per label via Settings - Integrations - Calendar feed. Check the correct label for each event on the 'Publicity' tab and check that you want to publish this event information to 'Calendar feed'.
