Public School Requirements

[Mari Engelhart]

I have been searching/reading and have become a bit overwhelmed on what it is I truly need for our public school. I am hoping you can direct me on what it is I need based on the following:

Student Fees – allows students/parents to pay what they are able to; need to have fields that parent/students complete (e.g. student name, ID, major, etc).

Adult Education courses – Allows adults to purchase a course online (courses are not delivered online); categorized (e.g. Personal Enrichment, Medical) and scheduled on specific dates and times; must include email notifications to the purchaser and the adult education department.

I hope you are able to assist me!

Thank you,

Mari Engelhart

Hi Mari,

Thanks for your interest in our products! Great questions, I’ll try to point you in the right direction.

Student Fees – allows students/parents to pay what they are able to; need to have fields that parent/students complete (e.g. student name, ID, major, etc).

You can sure use our Tickets Framework to sell the tickets for the events, but adding extra-fields to checkout and ‘name your price’ functionality will depend on the e-commerce platform you use on your site. Our Ticket Framework just creates and links the ticket with the event, but further customization depend on the underlying e-commerce platform. We can assist you on that but we can’t assure that the additional plugins will work well with ours.

For example if you choose to use WooCommerce + WooCommerce Tickets, you can use WooCommerce Checkout Manager to add the extra fields to checkout. Also you can probably find an add-on to achieve the ‘name your price’ functionality. A simpler approach to the later would be to create different tickets with different prices so students/parents can choose one from these pre-set tickets.

Adult Education courses – Allows adults to purchase a course online (courses are not delivered online); categorized (e.g. Personal Enrichment, Medical) and scheduled on specific dates and times; must include email notifications to the purchaser and the adult education department.

As in the previous question, you can use our Tickets Framework to sell the tickets. Events can be categorized and indeed scheduled on specific dates and times. How email notifications are handled also depends on the e-commerce platform you will be using, but I’m pretty sure it’s supported out the box or there’s a simple solution to add the extra notification for adult education department.

Hope you find this information helpful to make the right decision for you website setup. Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

Hello Nico,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Since I already installed WooCommerce, I am purchasing the WooCommerce Tickets add-on. I may need further assistance while setting up both the student fees and course registrations – is this the best way to contact you or do you recommend another area to refer to?

Thanks again!

Mari

That’s great news Mari!

In case you need further assistance after your purchase you should hit the WooCommerce Tickets forum and a nice folk from our support team will be happy to help you.

I’m closing this topic – but please don’t hesitate to create new topics if you need help with anything else.

Have a great day,
Nico
