Multiple Name Fields and Agent Accounts

[Ali El Husseini]

Hello,

I’m sorry if the answer to this is found somewhere on the website; I tried to look, but I couldn’t find anything.

For the sake of my questions, let’s say that there are the following products that I want to sell: X1, X2, and X3, which are tickets from destination X to destination Y. And there are Y1, Y2, and Y3, which are tickets from destination X to destination Y.

My questions are:

1. Is there any way to allow my customers/users, while booking any of the Xs (let’s say X1), to choose whether or not they would like a return trip? Basically, a checkbox that would allow them to choose any one of the Ys, if they choose to opt-in for a return trip.

2. Is there any way to make the displayed/actual price of the product (i.e. ticket) depend on who is using the website? I found a WordPress plugin that does this with wooCommerce, but I wanted to know if it is possible via any of the solutions offered here. I am basically asking if I can have special accounts for agents that would out-source my product, so that they can book for other people, and they would get a special price.

3. If a customer chooses “2 adults” and “1 child” while booking, can it be made so that the extra passengers’ names be required, as well, and then added to a name list that is extracted? (basically, this: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/adding-extra-names-when-multiple-tickets-are-purchased/)

4. Can name lists be extracted on a per-event (or item/product…) basis?

Thank you very, very much in advance.

Hey, one more question: can we hide the available number of tickets?

Hello Ali and thanks for getting in touch. These are great questions and I’m happy to help answer them.

1. Is there any way to allow my customers/users, while booking any of the Xs (let’s say X1), to choose whether or not they would like a return trip?

There is a way to collect additional information when someone selects a ticket. I will point out, however, that the additional information would not be capable of allowing someone to select an additional ticket if they were to select an option for wanting a return trip.

2. Is there any way to make the displayed/actual price of the product (i.e. ticket) depend on who is using the website?

I do believe this is possible, but it would take a fair amount of custom development to make it happen. For example, if you create multiple price fields for events, then you could customize the calendar template (more on this in our Themer’s Guide) by wrapping the cost field in a conditional statement that checks for a visitor’s logged in status and show different fields based on the result of that check.

3. If a customer chooses “2 adults” and “1 child” while booking, can it be made so that the extra passengers’ names be required, as well, and then added to a name list that is extracted?

4. Can name lists be extracted on a per-event (or item/product…) basis?

Absolutely. The person purchasing the tickets can select the number of tickets and then be prompted to add the name (and any other information you would like) before checking out. That information goes into a report you can export as a spreadsheet, and those reports are on a per-event basis. Those reports also allow you to break down sales on a per ticket basis.

Hey, one more question: can we hide the available number of tickets?

Yes, you can certainly do that. I would suggest using CSS to hide it with something like:

.tribe-tickets-remaining {
display: none;
}

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

Thank you very, very much for your answer! This answers almost all of my questions.
One more question: Can we employ discount coupons? e.g. Upon making a reservation (initially for $100), a customer can enter a discount code, and the new price will become $80.

Thanks in advance!

Also: are your plugins compatible with the ones outlined here? These would all solve question 1, and I still have to decide which one best suits my needs. Thank you, and sorry for double posting!

Hello Ali, thanks for following up!

One more question: Can we employ discount coupons?

It depends on the ecommerce plugin you are using, but yes this is possible. For example, WooCommerce integrates with our Event Tickets and Event Tickets Plus plugins and allows you to create coupons for the products you sell, including tickets.

Also: are your plugins compatible with the ones outlined here?

I wish I could answer this, but I haven’t personally tested our plugins with all of the ones listed in there. I have heard success stories about integrating with the Product Bundles plugin, but I’m much less familiar with the others. The best way to know for sure is to try them on your site — I will note that we have an awesome refund policy that allows you to return any of our products within 30 days of purchase. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Ali, I see my last reply was marked as the correct answer. I’ll go ahead and close this thread but please feel free to open a new one if any other questions pop up and we’d be more than happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
