Sales tax (ticket's selling)

[André Escher]

I would know if with the woocommerce ticketing sales system I can determine a “tax” for each ticket or event.
For example, I have a community that hosts events (paid ones) and I would like to add these persons who create these events to my calendar/agenda website. So, they will sell tickets for their events, and I want a small percentage on this sales (by ticket or by event).

Is that possible?

Thanks!

Howdy  André Escher,

Good question. To answer it let me give you a little detail on how WooCommerce works and how WooCommerce  Tickets works. Here is what happens when a user purchases a ticket for an event your or your community members have added:

1. The user clicks “Buy” on the ticket and selects how many tickets they want.
2. The ticket is added to the WooCommerce shopping cart. At this point WooCommerce completely takes over.
3. The user can add anything else to the cart they want. If you are selling physical products via WooCommerce like tshirts, they can add those as well. Or even other tickets for other events on your website.
4. The users Checks out, selects how they want to pay.
5. You get an email of a new order from WooCommerce. It lists every product they bought, including the tickets. You can click Approve which will charge their credit card. (Or you can setup WooCommerce to automatically approve every order and automatically charge.)
6. All of the money goes from their credit card to your payment provider. People often use PayPal for instance, so all of the money would go from their card to PayPal.

So in the end, one account gets all of the money. That would really need to be your account. From there though you could pay the community members. You could keep track of how many of each of their products was sold, them send them a check/money order or whatever minus your percentage that you charge them.

That is how everything currently works. Two features we are considering adding might be of interest to you though. If you like these, you should vote them up:

• Charge for event submission and premium/featured events
• Allow <mark>Community</mark> Events users to add tickets via frontend

Does that answer your question? Do you have any follow up questions? Please let me know.

Cheers!
