Collecting payment for event submissions

[Abbie Alter]

hi there

I want to collect payment automatically with the Event Calendar.

Can you do this?

Thanks!

Hi Abbie,

Thanks for your interest in our events plugin suit!

At the moment you can’t collect payment for users’ submissions. It is on the roadmap though, and there has been active development on getting this integrated. You could add your vote on our Uservoice page, which is the best way to get updates on such a specific feature.

There are other ways you can pursue to help monetize your website. One option would be to turn your site into a membership site. That way, you can charge users to become a “subscriber” on your site and then only allow submission of new events to logged in subscribers.

Furthermore, it is possible to let your website visitors seamlessly create and sell tickets for the events they would submit to your calendar — without needing to access your WordPress admin dashboard. In order to do so, you would need to combine
Community Tickets, Community Events and Event Tickets Plus plugins. In case this second option would suit your needs, you might be please to know we have a bundle combining all the plugins mentioned above (plus Filter Bar).

Please do let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers,
Jeremy
