Automatic Multi Ticket Discount + Linking To WooCommerce Product?

[cforge]

I see the post asking about creating a shopping cart discount for multiple tickets by way of a Woocommerce coupon.
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/discount-for-multiple-ticket-

But isn’t there a way to may it automatic? We did this with an earlier version on Event Tickets Plus but had to configure it within a WooCommerce Product. So we would create the ticket, then I think there was an option to also create a WooCommerce product,. It was there we setup e quantity discount.

With the current version of Event Tickets Plus I am not seeing the option to also create a WooCommerce product and so I am not sure how to accomplish an automatic discount of 10% when 2 or more tickets are purchased.

Can you tell me how to do this in the current version, or if its not possible, how I link a WooCommerce product to the ticket so I can do it like we did before?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out! There is not currently a way to discount tickets automatically based on quantity, but you could do this either with a coupon or by using a third-party plugin for WooCommerce, such as WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing.

Tickets are essentially WooCommerce simple products (no need to create a separate product for tickets), so you can typically use extensions like these with tickets the same way you would normal products. However, you would need to test this out to be sure that you can get it working the way you would like.

If you’d like to see this functionality built-in in the future, please let us know over in our Feature Ideas Forum. This is what we use to gauge user interest in new features and help guide future development efforts.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Thank you. But as I said in my original message, we do have that capability in WooCommerce products now. So if The Events Calendar Pro cannot provide the tiered discount that is fine. However the second question was then when creating a new event or event series, we used to see the option to also create a WooCommerce product in the event setup. We no longer are seeing this option. We can’t find it in the documentation or settings either. So assuming we will need to setup WooCommerce products to achieve tiered promotion, how do we tie in the Events Calendar Pro events to the WooCommerce products? Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for following up! I’m not sure I am entirely understanding what you’re looking for here…I’m not aware of an option to create a WooCommerce product via the events interface (previously or currently). Are you possibly referring to the option to create tickets? If you create a paid ticket on the event page (vs an RSVP ticket), this is the same thing as creating a WooCommerce product (tickets are in fact WooCommerce simple products). So once you create the ticket, you can then edit it in WooCommerce (see screenshot), where you can set up some of the options that you have with third-party WooCommerce plugins.

Does that help at all? If you haven’t done so already, I would also recommend taking a look at some of the following articles which have a lot more details on how tickets work:

New User Primer: Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus

Settings Overview: Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus

Managing Your Orders and Attendees

Moving Tickets

New User Primer: Community Tickets

Configuring Community Tickets

Community Tickets: Configuring PayPal and Split Payments

Community Tickets: Tracking Sales and Getting Paid

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Yes you are right. When creating tickets we used to have the option to also create WooCommerce products. Now I do not see the option. On our production site is the older license and on the development site is the newer license. Please see the difference we are seeing and perhaps you can let me know what I am missing. The first is the one we are used to using to do tiered pricing and in the second the option is not there.

Thanks for sharing the screenshots! I see now where the confusion is coming from…The “WooCommerce” option is actually the exact same thing as the “+New ticket” option in the newer version. Before, after clicking the “Add new ticket” button, you had the option to select either an RSVP-style ticket or a paid (WooCommerce) ticket. Now, this option is split into two separate buttons. The “+New ticket” button creates a WooCommerce ticket, and the “+New RSVP” button creates an RSVP-style ticket.

So when you create a new (non-RSVP) ticket in both versions, you are in fact creating a WooCommerce simple product. In the new interface, you can still edit the ticket in WooCommerce as you could before (see screenshot). From there, you should be able to set up the discounts in the same way you did before.

I’m sorry for the confusion here! Can you try creating a WooCommerce ticket in the new version and see if you are able to get the discounts set up in the WooCommerce product screen for the ticket?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
