Pretix Sales Map Plugin

A powerful geographic analytics and visualization plugin for pretix. This plugin allows you to visualize where your attendees are coming from, track sales growth over time, and analyze regional market penetration.

✨ Features

• 📍 Automatic Geocoding: Automatically converts attendee addresses to map coordinates upon payment.
• 🗺️ Interactive Map: Switch between Pin View (with clustering), Heatmap, and Density Grid.
• 📈 Sales Analytics: Track total revenue, average travel distance, and top regions (cities/items).
• ⏱️ Timeline Animation: Play back the history of your sales to see geographic growth over time.
• ★ Marketing Milestones: Define important dates (e.g., newsletters) in the UI to see their impact on the timeline.
• 🔄 Event Comparison: Overlay data from previous events to compare reach and performance.
• ⚠️ Quality Control: Dedicated view for orders with failed geocoding to manage data issues.
• 🌙 Nightly Sync: Automated background task to retry failed geocoding attempts.
• 🔘 Manual Trigger: Admin button to re-run geocoding for all orders of an event.

🚀 Installation & Setup

To use this plugin with your local pretix instance (C:\Users\SCJA03\Desktop\Programmieren\pretix):

1. Register the Plugin

Open your terminal, navigate to this directory, and ensure your pretix virtual environment is active.

python setup.py develop

2. Run Migrations

Apply the database changes for geodata and milestones:

# From your pretix/src directory
python manage.py migrate

3. Configuration

Add a User-Agent for the geocoding service in your pretix.cfg:

[pretix_mapplugin]
nominatim_user_agent = YourProjectName/1.0 ([e-mail])

4. Enable the Plugin

1. Log in to your Pretix Control Panel.
2. Go to Organizer Settings > Plugins and enable Map-Plugin.
3. In your specific Event > Settings > Plugins, also enable Map-Plugin.

🛠️ Usage

• Map View: Navigate to Sales Map > Map View in the event sidebar.
• Milestones: Go to Sales Map > Milestones to add marketing dates.
• Revenue Weighting: Use the toggle button on the map to see "where the money comes from" instead of just "where the people are".

🚀 Starting the Application (Development)

1. Pretix Server:

   cd C:\Users\SCJA03\Desktop\Programmieren\pretix\src
   python manage.py runserver
   

2. Celery Worker:

   cd C:\Users\SCJA03\Desktop\Programmieren\pretix\src
   celery -A pretix.celery_app worker -l info
   

   Note: If you don't have a broker like Redis or RabbitMQ running, the plugin will automatically fall back to synchronous geocoding (eager mode) if configured in pretix.cfg.

🛡️ Requirements

• pretix >= 2.7
• geopy
• A running Celery worker (essential for background geocoding)
