Integration with AWeber

[John]

Hello,
After reading through your product offerings & knowledge base I’ve found answers to most of my questions but I have one unanswered one. Here’s what we are looking for:

1. Ability to sell tickets for classes – managers need to be able to register multiple employees for a class in one transaction, and we need to be able to collect information about each employee registering for the class (not just the name & contact of the manager who is registering the employees)
2. We need need to be able to integrate the ticket sales system with WooCommerce so that we can upsell other items/tools from our store that attendees will need to bring to the classes
3. We need emails to go to each attendee with their ticket ONLY after payment is complete.
4. We need to have the option for attendees (not just the manager registering them) to opt-in to our email list. We use AWeber.

Is there an AWeber integration?
Based on these requirements, which product would best suit our needs?
Thank you for your time.
John

Hi again,

I figured out that we can use an Awebwer integration with WooCommerce to solve problem #4 above, but I have one major looming question on which my purchasing these plugins depend… I know we can collect contact information for multiple event attendees in one transaction, but I need to know if the tickets can be automatically sent to each attendee once payment is complete. An example would be a manager signing up 3 of his/her employees for a class. He/She inputs contact info for each employee attending the class and makes the purchase. Once payment is processed, we need one ticket to be emailed to each event attendee. And, if the manager is only signing up their employees (and not themselves), we would need the attendees to receive their tickets and the manager to receive a receipt for their purchase, and not the tickets. Is this possible?

Thanks!
John

Hello John,

Thanks for getting in touch with us. You posted some great questions there.

Let me start with the easy ones.

We need need to be able to integrate the ticket sales system with WooCommerce

That is actually a requirement. If you would like to sell tickets you will either need WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads. Without that the selling will not happen.

Is there an AWeber integration?

No, with our plugins there is none, but as you found out, it can be done with WooCommerce.

(And that answers your opt-out question as well.)

We need emails to go … ONLY after payment is complete.

That is possible to set up. The email sending can be controlled based on the WooCommerce order status. Here is a screenshot of the respective setting.

And only the difficult question is left.

Once payment is processed, we need one ticket to be emailed to each event attendee. And, if the manager is only signing up their employees (and not themselves), we would need the attendees to receive their tickets and the manager to receive a receipt for their purchase, and not the tickets. Is this possible?

This is not possible out of the box with our plugins.

After a ticket purchase is done (that can be 1 or several tickets), then the person purchasing the tickets (in your case the manager) will get an email about the placed order. Once the order is marked completed in the system (that can be manual or automatic) the manager will receive another 2 emails: the “Order completed” email and one email with all the tickets purchased.

With Event Tickets Plus the manager will be able to fill out the attendee data for each ticket during the process.

With some custom development it might be possible to achieve what you outlined, that the attendees get their tickets. A customization work like that is beyond the scope of support we provide here in the forums, but in case you are interested in this I can share with you a list of independent developers who are well known in the community and are not affiliated with us, who could help you with this.

which product would best suit our needs?

Here’s the list:

• The Events Calendar – for basic calendar functionality
• Event Tickets – for basic RSVP / registration functionality
• Event Tickets Plus – for creating and selling tickets and the option to collect attendee metadata
• WooCommerce – to be able to process transactions

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,
Andras
