Managers booking events on behalf of learners

[Phil]

Hi, I’m looking for a solution that will allow store managers to book their employees onto events. They will effectively manage the delegate booking, not the delegate.

Lets say there are 10 stores, with 50 employees. Each of the 10 managers will log in and add their employees to events. The employee does not need to know or log in (should not receive emails etc). It’s just a way of tracking which employees have attended which events.

Can this be done via configuration?

Thanks,

Phil

Good evening Phil and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

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

Lets say there are 10 stores, with 50 employees. Each of the 10 managers will log in and add their employees to events.

That could be done in a couple of ways.
You will probably need to experiment the one that works best for you.

1. You could simply use a combination of the Events Calendar with Event Tickets (both free) and augment them with our Event Tickets Plus premium add-on (https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-event-tickets-plus/)

   This would allow attendee information to be captured with each ticket purchased.
   Best of all, the manager would be the only one receiving a notification.

2. You could use the same combination of plugins as above alongside a plugin such as Shop as a customer ( https://codecanyon.net/item/shop-as-customer-for-woocommerce/7043722).

   This will let each customer “sign in” to each employee’s profile and proceed to the ticket purchase.

   This approach is a bit more time-consuming but will provide more flexibility for reporting.

   You might want to add the following snippet in your theme’s functions.php file to prevent Ticket emails from being sent: https://gist.github.com/GeoffEW/67488cc3d5dda12a9e252e16e39191f4

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
