Upgrading WP User Role on Ticket Purchase

[Andrew]

Is it possible to upgrade a users to a specific WordPress User Role when someone purchases a ticket?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! Interesting questions here.

I guess it’s possible, a way of doing this could be to hook to the order complete status. Take a look at this sample for WooCommerce: detecting order complete / on order completion. If you are using another e-commerce engine you will want to see if an equivalent action is available for it. Once you have hooked to that action you’ll need to get the order object and iterate the items in it to see if a ticket has been actually purchased.

Also, check this answer in stackexchange about actually changing the user role via code.

Please let me know if that helps,
Best,
Nico
