Your events deserve more flexibility – and that’s exactly what Sugar Calendar 3.6 delivers
Our team has been listening to your feedback, and we’re excited to introduce Sugar Calendar 3.6 – packed with powerful new features designed to give you unprecedented control over recurring events, expanded payment options, and improved migration tools.
Whether you’re managing a workshop series, scheduling classes, or organizing regular community events, this update makes handling complex schedules and ticketing simpler than ever before.
Enhanced Recurring Events Management
We’ve expanded our recurring events system to give you greater flexibility and control:
- Customize individual events within a recurring series while maintaining the connection to the main event
- Sell tickets separately for each event in the series with the ability to set unique pricing
- Modify dates, times, or venues for specific events without affecting the entire series
- Delete specific events from your series without disrupting the rest – ideal for handling vacations, sick days, or cancellations
- Make targeted changes to any details for a single event in your recurring schedule
When editing any event in a recurring series, you’ll now have the choice to apply changes to just that specific event or to all future events – giving you complete control over your scheduling.
Now you have the flexibility to adjust a single session in your workshop series, change the venue for just one meeting, or offer special pricing for a particular date in your recurring events.
More Payment Options for Your Attendees
We’ve upgraded our Stripe integration to support a wider range of payment methods:
- Popular digital wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Link
- Regional payment services including Alipay, WeChat Pay, and GrabPay
- Buy-now-pay-later options such as Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay
- Traditional credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express with an improved checkout experience
- Bank debits, secure bank redirects, and bank transfers
This expansion means your attendees can now pay using their preferred method, leading to a smoother checkout experience and helping you sell more tickets.
Import External Calendars Instantly
Do you manage events in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or other calendar apps? Sugar Calendar 3.6 introduces simple ICS import functionality to bring those events directly into your website.
Our new iCalendar import feature lets you import events from other calendar systems with just a URL.
No more manually copying event details from one calendar to another – Sugar Calendar can now automatically pull in events from your other calendars, saving you time and ensuring everything stays consistent across all your platforms.
Easier Ways to Move Your Events
We’ve also made it simpler than ever to bring your events into Sugar Calendar or move them across websites.
If you’re switching from The Events Calendar, our improved one-click transfer tool now automatically brings over your categories and venue information, saving you hours of manual setup work. No more recreating venue details or rebuilding your category structure.
We’ve also enhanced our export and import system, making it easy to move all your event information when switching between websites.
Take Control of Your Events Like Never Before
Sugar Calendar 3.6 gives you even more flexibility and control. With enhanced recurring events, more payment options, simplified transfers, and direct calendar connections, you’ll spend less time managing your calendar and more time focusing on what matters – creating successful events that your attendees love.
