WooCommerce Ticketing Questions

[Len Printz]

Hello!

We’re in a bind and MUST find an event system that works with WooCommerce. Yours looks promising and I’ve poured over the pages but can’t find everything.

Could you PLEASE glance at this list and let me know if there are any items that AREN’T supported? I sure hope you don’t find anything 😉

Thanks SO much!

– We need the ability to advertise multiple events using an events landing page and allow users to register
– Registration form should capture all of the information below for EACH attendee. Each attendee will have to register separately, as they will also need their own confirmation to print as well.
· Name
· Email address
· Company/Organization
· Title
· Phone #
· Ticket Type
They will have the option of purchasing 4 types of tickets. The type of ticket dictates the price:
· Client early bird special
· Non-client early bird special
· Client regular
· Non-client regular
– Registration list needs to be generated for each event of all those who have registered. Registration list should contain Attendees Name, Organization, Title, and Email, and Phone
– Each registered attendee should receive an email confirmation as well as a calendar Outlook invite – the email is meant to be printed and brought to the event. Email confirmation should contain Event Name and Date, Attendees Name, Organization, Title, and Email.
– Should be able to advertise the HR posters on the events page and registration page (how about in a sidebar?). I am thinking there should be a dropdown for the user to select their state and add it to the cart right there (see below).
– Any information captured from the registration process should be imported in Constant Contact.
– Outlook invite – What we would recommend is integrating with Constant Contact where AFTER the registration, they receive a separate email that talks about the event, and has a link to an Outlook invite. This would be on client’s end when creating this list/autoresponder.
Complimentary Event tickets:
– This would be done with a unique coupon/promotion code that the client would give to attendees to enter when signing up, which would allow them check out at no cost.

Hey Len,

Thanks for getting in touch! I’m really glad to see you’re checking out WooCommerce Tickets and hope it’s a good fit for your project. 🙂

Excellent questions. Let’s see if we can hit these in order…

We need the ability to advertise multiple events using an events landing page and allow users to register

You can certainly make a calendar of events with The Events Calendar that displays all your events in one place. From there, WooCommerce Tickets allows you to create tickets for those events directly through the event editor, which then adds them to the event. So, your calendar is the events landing page and each event contains the tickets for that specific event.

Registration form should capture all of the information below for EACH attendee.

This is something we’re working on, but I’m afraid is not a feature we currently support.

They will have the option of purchasing 4 types of tickets.

Yes, you can create any number of tickets to an event and set a specific price and quantity for each one.

Registration list needs to be generated for each event of all those who have registered.

Yes, when a guest has arrived for an  event, you can check them in, which adds them to a list of checked-in attendees.

Each registered attendee should receive an email confirmation as well as a calendar Outlook invite

Tickets are delivered directly via email after WooCommerce has processed the transaction. The calendar invite is not attached to that email, but a link to the event is and visitors are able to download the event to their own calendar from there.

Should be able to advertise the HR posters on the events page and registration page

Every event has the ability for you to add a feature image, which is displayed on the event page. You could certainly use your poster images there.

Any information captured from the registration process should be imported in Constant Contact

The Events Calendar does not provide a syncing feature with Constant Contact, though you can download a CSV file of all attendees from the event editor and use that to upload the list of attendees into Constant Contact.

What we would recommend is integrating with Constant Contact where AFTER the registration, they receive a separate email that talks about the event, and has a link to an Outlook invite.

I’m afraid that we do not offer any Constant Contact integration right out of the box. You may be able to set up auto-responders in Constant Contact, but neither The Events Calendar nor WooCommerce Tickets manages email communications, unfortunately.

Does this help answer your questions? Feel free to let me know if you have any others and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
