user submitted front end community events calendar (with split payment option)

[Jubs]

Hello,

Please can you tell me if the below is possible with your products.

1) We host a website where the main offering is a community events calendar.
2) A user of our website can EITHER be a free member and they can find events and pay for them through our website, then import them into their own calendars (e.g. Outlook, iCal)
3) OR a user can be a paid member (with a subscription to our website), where they will have front-end access to post their own events, manage their own profile page showcasing their skills (based on which they create events, e.g. yoga) to all the users on the website, with a split payment agreement between us (i.e. the website) and the submitter.
4) We are the website, can either choose to pre-approve all submissions, or auto-approve

Thanks!

Hey Jubs,

Thanks for reaching out! Awesome questions there! Let me help you with them.

Most of that is possible with our products. Let’s get down to the details.

A user of our website can EITHER be a free member and they can find events and pay for them through our website, then import them into their own calendars (e.g. Outlook, iCal)

For this you will need to use some other plugin, as ours do not have the functionality of memberships.

A lot of our users are using WooCommerce Memberships successfully, and I’m sure there are other similar plugins.

The “pay for them through our website” – I guess this is selling tickets for events. For this part you will need Event Tickets Plus – on top of the free The Events Calendar and Event Tickets.

Event Tickets Plus can already handle ticket sales without any eCommerce plugin like WooCommerce, but you will most probably need that because of memberships anyway.

a user can be a paid member (with a subscription to our website), where they will have front-end access to post their own events, manage their own profile page showcasing their skills (based on which they create events, e.g. yoga) to all the users on the website …

Community Events and Community Tickets is needed for this part. The first so that they can post events through the front-end, the second to be able to set up tickets for their events.

They will be able to manage their profile as they would with an account to your site without our plugin. Our plugins do not provide a front facing user profile page. You can do that with a third party plugin though.

with a split payment agreement between us

This is the trick part. Our Community Tickets plugin supports split payments, HOWEVER adaptive payments and NVP / SOAP apps more generally have been sunsetted by PayPal, seemingly effective as of 01 December 2017. Split payments should still work for existing users, but new users will not be able to take advantage of this feature for the time being.

We are looking into different options to replace adaptive payments in our Community Tickets plugin, but I cannot give you any date yet when this will be finalized.

We are the website, can either choose to pre-approve all submissions, or auto-approve

This option exists in the Community Events add-on. To be totally clear on this here are the options that give you control over submissions: https://cloudup.com/cmPFR_u1QuL

I hope this answers your questions. If you have any more let me know. 🙂

Cheers,
Andras

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
