Gather more info for Event Tickets RSVP to an event

[Justin]

Right now it seems that you can only collect Name and Email, but what if we always wanted to get Company Name? Is there a way to add that functionality through a setting for through a function override in the functions.php file?

Thanks,

Justin

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

Event Tickets Plus (ET+) is our paid add-on plugin that upgrades the functionality of our free Event Tickets (ET) plugin.

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.

You could also Display a List of Attendee’s Events.

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.

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

Hi, I only to have RSVP functionality, but just wanted to know if we could collect more information with the RSVP.

Right now it’s Name, Email, Yes/No (attending) and that’s it. I wanted to know if there was a way to expand it with some new functions added to the theme’s functions.php file to ask for a Company name for example.

Nevermind, after reading through the details of the paid plugin, I see that building a custom form through the WordPress Admin Dashboard is possible if we upgrade.

Thanks.

Our paid add-on Event Tickets Plus (ET+) enables the functionality you’re wanting. I tried to highlight this in my previous reply with the bolded text; sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

Thanks Cliff. I missed the bold on first view reading it as an email instead of coming back to this page.
All clear now.

If our end client needs this additional info, we know we can offer it with a simple upgrade to the plugin.

Thanks!

Sure thing, no worries!

Have a great one.
