Addon Products for each attendee of an event

[dannycare]

Hi! I’m loving the Events Calendar plugin and the Ticketing, however I need a little bit of guidance on this. Here’s the scenario:

My client runs walking expeditions for schools. They would like their website to do the following:

1. School goes to website, finds the event and books it online.
2. They list their attendees and all needed information (For this I have used Ticked Fieldsets which is awesome btw!)
3. They want to upsell their camping and walking supplies which are delivered on the group’s arrival, but on an attendee-by-attendee basis.
4. The School pays for the tickets, but they want the parents/guardians of the attendee to login to the site and pay for any extra camping supplies if needed.
5. The order the parents make gets linked to this particular event, with the attendees name and what they have ordered.

Ideally, for each attendee going to the event, we will generate a separate invoice, payable by the parents of the attendee. If the parent has paid, the product gets added to the information for that particular attendee.

I’m super stuck on this one. I know this is immediately out the scope of support for ticketing and events calendar, however I am willing to pay for extra support to ensure this works for the client.

Does anybody know of any way this is achievable, have you done something similar before? I would greatly appreciate your wisdom.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Danny,

I’m glad to hear that you’re liking the plugins so far! It sounds like you’re looking for the school to buy the tickets for all attendees together (one order), and then have the parents be able to go back in and edit the order (add camping supplies to their child’s ticket). Each ticket would then also need a separate invoice, including the additional supplies. Is that correct?

This would be a pretty involved customization, and your best bet may be to reach out to a developer to have this done. We do have a list of developers that we can recommend (we are only able to provide support here in the forums). Some potential challenges here would be parents being able to edit an order that someone else created and linking other products (like camping gear) to tickets. Since tickets are essentially WooCommerce simple products, you might look into some of the WooCommerce add-ons for product-linking functionality.

And finally, generating separate invoices. This would lie within the WooCommerce side of things, since that plugin handles the checkout process.

I’m sorry I don’t have a better solution for you, but I hope this helps point you in the right direction! I would also recommend taking a look at our themer’s guide and functions list, which are both great tools for customizing our plugins.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions, and if you do get this set up, please send us a link! We are always interested in seeing different ways that customers are using our plugins 🙂

Thanks and good luck!

Jennifer
