Move to a more robust platform

[Jerry]

I am currently using 123Signup.com for membership and event management. This software is extremely dated and somewhat limited. I am helping a 501(c)3 organization and just finished having a new WP website built. With that being said, I want to integrate membership and event/conference management into the WP site. The two biggest issues I have and nobody seems to answer the question are:

First Issue:When a person wants to register for a conference, I need to authenticate the user as a member of the organization or not. If they are a member, they get one price, if not they get another price. if they would like to join at the same time they would get a third price. Ex: Member $300 Non-Member $400 Join when registering $375 (includes 1 yr membership).

Second Issue: I offer continuing education credits. This is obtained by attending workshops. I offer multiple workshops (3) at a specific time. I need the attendee to only be able to choose 1 of the 3 as they cannot be in more than one place at a time.

Hi Jerry, thanks for reaching out!

These are excellent questions. My hunch is that neither The Events Calendar nor Event Tickets are going to be a great fit for your project.

For example, our plugins do not offer variable pricing right out of the box. In other words, it is unable to display different prices for tickets based on a person’s membership status on the site, though I have heard some folks have success integrating our plugins with WooCommerce and its Dynamic Pricing extension. In other words, it might be possible to achieve that functionality with the following plugins installed:

• Event Tickets
• Event Tickets Plus
• WooCommerce
• Dynamic Pricing

…but our plugins do not offer that right out of the box. Just worth keeping mind.

I need the attendee to only be able to choose 1 of the 3 as they cannot be in more than one place at a time.

Our plugins are great for displaying calendar events, but are not well suited for booking specific timeslots within events. That said, I do not believe The Events Calendar would be very conducive for the concept of educational credits that can be used toward booking a timeslot.

Sorry for the bad news, but does this at least help answer your questions? Definitely let me know if you have any other questions and I’d be happy to help as best I can!

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
