I am looking at Events Calendar pro as a solution for my client who runs courses.
Some courses are one day, some over a number of days.
I understand I can achieve this through using WooCommerce, WooCommerce tickets and Events Calendar Pro.
The only downside I can see, from reading all the documentation!!…is that for multiple date courses I have to create the same event detail for each date?
Is this correct? And am I looking at this in the right way? As all of your marketing seems to be geared towards events rather than an application such as courses spanning a number of days (which I guess is an event with a different name!)
Thanks in advance
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by–happy to hear you’re considering our plugins for your client’s site!
You’re almost right on the money there! We are in the process of sunsetting WooCommerce Tickets and have rolled the product’s feature set into Event Tickets Plus, which is still being actively developed and contains a great deal of added functionality. I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have about the differences between these two plugins!
For multi-day events, you have two main options: you can create a recurring event set to recur on each day of the course, or you can create a single event with the start date set to the first day and the end date set to the last day of the course. In the latter case, you can specify hours for each day and other relevant details in the event description.
Does that help to clarify a bit? Let me know if you should have any other questions! 🙂 Thanks!
I assume by sunsetting you mean wrapping it up and putting everything into Events Tickets plus?
In which case do I even need WooCommerce at all as a solution I can set all the courses up within Event Manager Pro and the purchase bit through tickets (albeit they’re not tickets but courses obviously!).
Yes, that’s correct! We are continuing to support WooCommerce Tickets as a standalone product for those users who still have current licenses, but we’ve migrated the existing WooCommerce Tickets feature set to Event Tickets Plus for new customer purchases. Payment processing is still handled by third-party e-commerce solutions, however, so you’ll still need WooCommerce or another supported e-commerce plugin to handle payments on the backend.
Hopefully that helps to clear things up somewhat! Let me know if I can answer any other questions about what you might need for your setup!
