If your question is not listed here, then please contact us.

What recurring patterns can I create?

Sugar Calendar supports daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly recurring events. You can also create complex custom patterns like ‘every first Monday of the month,’ ‘every other Thursday,’ or ‘every weekday.’ Set events to repeat indefinitely or stop after a specific date or number of occurrences.

Can I edit one occurrence without changing the whole series?

Yes! You can edit individual occurrences to change the time, location, or any details for that specific date without affecting other events in the series. This is perfect for handling holidays, special circumstances, or one-time changes.

Can I sell tickets for recurring events?

Absolutely. When you enable event ticketing on a recurring event, you can choose to sell tickets for each occurrence separately. Each date in the series gets its own capacity limit and ticket sales tracking, perfect for ongoing classes or workshop series.

What happens if I update a recurring event?

When you edit a recurring event, you can choose to update all future occurrences or just the current one. This gives you flexibility to make changes to your entire series at once or handle individual dates differently.

Can I delete one occurrence from a series?

Yes, you can delete individual occurrences without affecting the rest of your recurring series. This is useful for canceling one date due to holidays or scheduling conflicts while keeping the rest of your events intact.

Is there a limit to how many recurring events I can create?

No, there’s no limit to the number of recurring events you can create. You can set up as many recurring series as you need to manage all your repeating events.
