How to differ TICKET price (advance payment) from Event (total) price.

[kristall]

Hello,

I would like to make an Event (in fact it is a seminar) with the price of 100 EUR.

My need is to make a possibility of selling ticket(s) as an advance payment – for example ticket is 25 EUR (from final Event price 100 EUR)

1. I know how to adapt Woocommerce settings (renaming “Order” to “Order/Advance Payment” …. and putting description “Total price = 100 EUR” beside 25 EUR ticket price.

2. BUT when I change ticket price (In Woocommerce Product settings) it is automatically changing also the Event price.

Is there ANY WAY how to DIFFER Event price from Ticket price?

Thank you for your answer!

Hi,

Thanks for using WooCommerce Tickets.

We do not have a method to set ticket prices based on a date so you could have advanced tickets.

You could setup two different tickets in the Event and change the date they are available so for the first time period you have the advanced tickets.

Then after the time period expires those tickets are not available, but you set other tickets for the full price available.

That is the easiest way to set that up.

We cannot help with changing WooCommerce settings as that is not our plugin.

You can change the ticket form in the events following our themer’s guide:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hello Brian,

thanks for your reply,

probably I was not explaining my case properly… in fact we don’t need two different tickets.

We want to sell ticket(s) as an advance payment/deposit (partial price) of the event/seminar (final) price – the customer will pay the rest in cash at the first day of the seminar.

So we need to have the final price (the Event’s price) being visible as it is – BUT selling all the tickets (only) for a partial price (deposit) – it means that the customer will pay for example 30 EUR as a deposit of some seminar’s final price (80 EUR) – he/she will pay the rest in cash.

I hope there is a way how to set this issue up.

Thanks for your help.

Best,

Jirka.

Hi,

Oh ok, I understand what you are trying to do, but we do not have a way to do partial payments for tickets. That is not one of our features and there is not much help we can give in customizing the plugin to do that.

One way that might work is to put the ticket price as the deposit price and clearly label what the final price is and when it is due and then collect it at the event.

Thanks

Hi,

thank you for your answer,

I understand that this complication is not going to be your major interest in future releases – but I guess that this issue (partitioning the event price to deposit amount and further cash payment) can be quite useful for many users.

Anyway I have an idea of our problem’s solution – please just let me know if this is a possible way – then I can find someone to help me with a final configuration. Thanks a lot.

I think that we need to:

1. Switch off the Events Calendar’s price label (css “display: none;” or disabling it in php file) and adding our own different price label – so we can stay with our (deposit) wootickets’s price and we can set up different (final) price in our new label. Then finally there are going to be two independent prices visible.

2. Adding the new line (field) in the Events Calendar’s properties where we can put our new label’s value (final price). Maybe the solution is in WP Custom Fields settings..?

Thank you for your answer – it would really help us if you can give me some suggestion or telling me where is the right part in php code’s file.

Best,

Jirka

Hi,

It looks possible to what you are trying to do. The ticket form is customizable following our themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

You can move and edit this file in your theme:

wootickets\views\wootickets\tickets.php

Maybe through a custom field setup in the product you could display the full price of the product there.

As for deposit payments, if you would like to request that feature please head to our UserVoice Page and add your own or upvote that feature as they will increase the chances of it being added to a future version.
