Personalised fields during inscrption process wirh EDD Tickets

[Anne-Marie]

Hello guys !

We want to build an event and would have some questions for you on EDD Tickets.

It is a 3 day event with multiple activities. The participant would have to decide which activities he want to attend and would be able to add up to ten guests with their own choices of activities.

We need to have the possibility to add personalised fields in the inscription process for the informations we need from the participant and his guests. Because we need more than just their names and email (company, address, radio buttons for M or Ms, a dropdown menu …).

And we need to know if EDD Tickets can add the price all the activities chosen by the participant and his guests, so it is just one transaction at the end.

Is it possible to do all this with EDD Tickets ?

Thanks in advance !

Howdy Anne-Marie,

I am happy to help you get some answers. What you want is pretty unique. By default the EDD Tickets plugin simply adds a product (The ticket) to EDD, and makes it easy for a user to add that ticket to their cart when they view the event. It is a great way to sell simple tickets, and works awesome even for multiday events.

However, when you have a lot of options that would affect the final price of the ticket, it gets complicated. Most shopping carts, Easy Digital Downloads included, expect these to be add-on products. So a user would add the ticket to their cart, then they might add some additional items as well. It is not really a form though, where when a user checks out they are asked questions and then additonal products are added based on their answer. These are simply additional products that would be available for purchase before checking out. If you want a form setup, you would likely have to develop that yourself as I am not aware of any shopping cart, Easy Digital Downloads or otherwise, that is setup like that.

Does that make sense? do you have any more questions? Please let me know. Cheers!

– Brook
