User Published Events – how do they see their attendees?

[Carl]

Hi guys, if a user adds their event, how do they sell tickets and how do they see who is attending? Also can we use a plugins, via woocommerce, to do the check-ins on the day?

Hi there, Carl! Thanks for getting in touch and great questions.

if a user adds their event, how do they sell tickets and how do they see who is attending?

Unfortunately, the Community Events add-on is not currently connected to our ticketing framework. That means tickets cannot be created for events by members when publishing events via Community. We know that’s a super cool idea though–it’s actually been suggested on our UserVoice page. Please add your vote if you’re interested in that becoming a feature.

Also can we use a plugins, via woocommerce, to do the check-ins on the day?

Honestly, I haven’t seen any third-party plugins that would support attendee checkins on the day of the event. Currently, you either need to print the list of attendees and check them in at the door, or be logged into the WP admin and check them in from there. We have received a suggestion to allow attendees to check themselves in, but that’s not on our radar yet.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
