Events Calendar Pro – Is this suitable for my project

[Amber]

Hello and thanks for your time.

I was wondering firstly is events calendar pro intergrates with woocommerce?
If so I would like to use the calendar for visitors to my site to picja a date, then pick a tour package (offering two different tour variations per day), then pick a time (the tours will be offered several times per day) and finaly to note how many people, then for this to show live on the claendar and payment to be processed via woocommerce. Is this possible?

Hi Amber,

There’s indeed a WooCommerce Tickets add-on for Events Calendar that lets you sell “tickets”, which are basically just WooCommerce “products” linked to specific events in your Events Calendar. You can learn more about this add-on here → https://theeventscalendar.com/shop/wordpress-wootickets/

That can enable some pretty robust Ticketing functionality on your site. For example, it seems like you could create different tickets for each tour package – people use our Ticketing functionality for “Tiered” ticketing / event access quite often.

Before signing off and simply saying “Yes, this will do what you need”, I’d highly recommend that you check out the WooCommerce Tickets add-on’s “New User Primer”. You can find it here → https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/wootickets-new-user-primer/

That primer includes some simple documentation, including helpful short screencasts, which should give you a significantly better understanding of how our events and ticketing systems work together. Take a look and let us know if you have any specific questions that pop up while you’re researching.

Thanks 🙂

I really like the look of the events calendar pro and from the screenshots this looks like what I need, does the pro version come with the woocommerce ability or do I still need the WooCommerce Tickets plugin also?
Is there anywhere I can see an example? there are two calendar style layouts I would like to see the funcionality for.
Also I take it that I will need a particular theme that is already woocommerce enabled?
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions 🙂

HELP!!!
I have a motorcycle training site i’m redoing for a customer in wordpress and woocommerce.

I would like to know if one of your products can marry:
– 15 training locations
– 35 different schedules for training (level 1 and 2)
– 2 main training courses
– 3 add-on training courses
The money does not matter but it has to have ability for the customer to update training locations / schedules / courses themselves and easily. We are going for the nicest, easiest, such awesome motorcycle training in Canada!
Along with a graphic flare, flow of a site and 20 years of website creation, I am VERY versed in wordpress and woocommerce but finding something to match their wishlist has been tough.

what do you think?
thank you

Hey Kevin,

Sounds like an interesting project – to be honest, however, I wouldn’t simply say “yes, this is the best thing for your project” or sign off on you being able to build out each of these features.

I’d recommend doing all of the same things I recommended to Amber above – take some time with that New User Primer I linked to, look at some of the other documentation around here, etc., to really get a better feel for the products.

For example, Events Calendar comes with “Venues”, specific locations for events that you can reuse. So that sounds like something you could use for the 15 training locations you mentioned, but I’m not 100% certain about what you mean by “marrying” all these features and such. Definitely explore our resources here and feel free to ask some more specific questions.

However, please open a new thread to ask these questions – no worries about posting here for now, but try to open new threads in the future for any comments or issues you have with your site.

Thanks – I’ll keep my eye out for another thread with specific questions you might have 🙂

Hey Amber,

No worries, we’re glad to be here and answer questions about the products.

If you want to use WooCommerce Tickets, you have to buy that as a separate license and product here → https://theeventscalendar.com/shop/wordpress-wootickets/

However, note that you do not have to buy Events Calendar PRO to use WooCommerce Tickets in the first place. You can keep using the free version of Events Calendar and just add the WooCommerce Tickets functionality.

As for a demo of the plugin, you can see our official demo site here → http://wpshindig.com/events/

That site uses a custom theme, but in general, you shouldn’t need a WooCommerce-specific theme to use the WooCommerce Tickets extension. That depends on the functionality and aesthetic you’re going for, and you should look up themes from the WooCommerce website and online if you’re curious about them, but the only requirements for Events Calendar and WooCommerce Tickets are WooCommerce itself, and a theme that follows the WordPress coding standards and has valid HTML markup.

Let me know if anything I described here wasn’t very clear, or if you have any other questions or concerns! 🙂

Thanks,
George

Hello,

This issue’s been sitting here a while so I’m going to go ahead and close it for now – if other issues arise, don’t hesitate to come back and open a new ticket, and if you need to open a new ticket about the same issues you originally brought up here, please share a link to this original ticket so we can pick up where we left off.

Cheers!
George
