We run day courses for about 30 people in hotels.
I am looking for a plug in that will do following:
1) hold details of list of venues and maps
2) list details of courses listed by a category or date
3) applicants book on the course by providing details in a form including email and actual address they don’t pay at this stage (also can address fill in automatically when postcode is entered).
4)form to include another email contact to invoice.
5) confirm the attendee booking by email.
6) invoice the other contact by email.
7) send a reminder email to attendee near the event.
8) send a reminder email to other contact to pay the invoice.
9) only show events that are in the future not in the past.
10) can applicants book without registering for an account.
can the plug in do this stuff?
I am developing this on my laptop with a bitnami stack with apache2 then I will migrate it to webserver to go live will this create a licence or any another problem?
thanks
KevinHowdy Kevin,
Those are some detailed questions. Fortunately some of them I can not only answer outright for you, but you can even test them out for yourself for free. Our “Core” plugin is The Events Calendar, and it can be found and installed for free on WordPress.org. Our plugin certainly does both 1 & 2, and this can be demonstrated either by installing the plugin and testing it out, or to a lesser extent by checking out our demo site.
For steps 3-8, and step 10, it seems like that would be best accomplished with a third party plugin. One of the many form builder plugins would allow you to insert a shortcode on registerable events that would capture name/phone number. It sounds like you want to do manual billing of the “other email” at a later phase. So, you will need a billing solution that will allow you to capture that via your preferred method. Whether it is over email, the phone, or a website. You need to figure out which option(s) you want and then make sure you are setup with someone like PayPal or Square that would allow you to do that. We do offer a variety of purchasable ticketing options, including one that ties in with Eventbrite. But none of them would require a user to register first via a form. You would either have to add instructions for a user telling them to do that, or just permit users to skip steps 3-8 should they choose to purchase straight away. In which case I would recommend WooCommerce Tickets or EDD Tickets, as neither of them requires the user to register in order to purchase/checkout.
Regarding step 9 that is possible to do automatically via a small modification to our plugin. Or, it is possibly to do very easily but manually each time an even transpires.
Does that paint a clear picture? Does it answer all your questions? Thanks for posting!
