Can The Events Calendar Pro do this?

[Melinda McCaw]

I am looking to accomplish the following and am curious if The Events Calendar Pro can do all or most of the following:

For the 3 types of registration below I believe I would need to be able to create 3 different custom registration forms. Can this be done in The Events Calendar Pro?

Can the below functionality be accomplished with The Events Calendar Pro?
-attendee registration
– ability to check back later to see if they have registered ( guess they have had issues in the past with people not remembering if they have registered yet – maybe a login?)
– ability to pay online
– ability to choose from varying ticket options

– vendor registration
– ability to read/e-sign vendor contract
– ability to specify how many booth spaces they need
– ability to add add-on items such as extra breakfast and lunch tickets
– pay online

– speaker registration
– ability to provide their info and needs (projector, hotel, etc.)
– ability to e-sign speaker contract

– tracking/reporting
– ability to see how many attendees are registered
– ability to see how many attendees are registered by location
– ability to see how many and what vendors are registered
– ability to see how many and what speakers are registered

Thanks for your help!

Hi, Melinda. Thanks for your interest in our plugin suite.

Our software doesn’t do all those things natively, but most could be accomplished with our Community Events and Event Tickets Plus (ET+) add-ons.

Community Events allows users (logged-in or anonymous website visitors) to create Events, Organizers, and Venues via a front-end page instead of via wp-admin.

Event Tickets Plus enables you to sell tickets via one of our supported eCommerce platforms. The free plugin only enables free RSVP-type tickets.

You can view our roundup/comparison of all the eCommerce plugins ET+ supports.

Our plugin uses your eCommerce plugin of choice, but your eCommerce plugin isn’t displayed for shopping pages. Please reference our Making Tickets KB article (screenshots are from an install using WooCommerce) for an idea how to create tickets for an event.

Site visitors would purchase tickets from each event’s single page/view (e.g. http://wpshindig.com/event/events-tickets-demo/) — if there is an RSVP to submit or ticket to purchase.

The order confirmation email will include a QR code that can be scanned to “check in” someone at the door at the time of the event. It could be displayed on their mobile device or they could print it like any other email. You can read more at Tickets: Managing your orders and attendees.

If your tickets will be free, you don’t need QR code check-in, and you don’t need to collect additional information other than name and email address, you likely could just use the free/core Event Tickets plugin.

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

For the things our plugins don’t do natively, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers, in the event you’d like some custom coding.

I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

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!
