Courses with 4-8 weekly lessons and 1 fee

[Emma]

Hi there,

I am researching different plugins to use for a client who runs one off workshops, and weekly classes. I think that Woocommerce + The Events Calendar Pro + Event Tickets Plus is what they need, but I have a question.

For the weekly classes, customers pay by the term e.g. Kids Art Course has 8 classes over 8 weeks, with 1 fee to cover the whole course. We would like:
– The 8 classes to show in the events calendar so customers can see what’s happening each week
– Customer can click on any of these then pay to enrol for the whole course (not individual classes)
– Client can specify how many places are available on the course e.g. 10 kids. When all the places have been booked it is marked ‘sold out’.

I understand that The Events Calendar Pro can manage weekly recurring events. But I’m not sure how the inventory / number of places available will be managed when there are 8 recurring events that are actually 1 course. We don’t want them to accidentally take more bookings than there are places available.

Thank you!
Emma

Good afternoon Emma and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

You are correct about the combination of plugins you will need: Woocommerce + The Events Calendar Pro + Event Tickets Plus

As it turns out, you are in luck. We currently only support 1 pool of tickets for all recurring events.

In other words, no matter which recurring event the tickets are bought from, it’s considered as 1 event and 1 global stock.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
