We’re trying to find a way to get exact numbers for the attendees, and there appear to be some issues with this, which I’ll describe below:
\n1. Paypal orders are set to Processing by default and not Completed, so the number of available tickets does not change unless we manually set the tickets sold to be Completed.
\n2. Each ticket sold may ACTUALLY be like 20 or even 30 attendees, since we are signing people up as groups. So even though each order says 1, it balloons up to 20 after marking that order Completed. This makes determining from the summary in the attendee’s section difficult at best.
\n3. Many of our orders are done by check, and a similar problem as we have with PayPal faces us, but our check processing internal process takes 2-3 weeks; so the order can’t be marked Completed until that time, and thus the ACTUAL number of attendees does not reveal itself for a long time. We need a way to know exactly how many people from each order for every group order for each event (we have three and not all have charges, and each Event type is very different from each other, so we need totals from each) are coming. Additionally, we have early\/late tickets and the totals need to work across both of those also, for some events. <\/p>\n
So, it feels a bit of a mess and I’m not sure how to get really accurate information for the forecasting the management is suddenly requiring. Is there any way to achieve this?<\/p>\n
This isn’t a technical issue, so I have done no plugin isolation nor theme isolation.<\/p>\n
I had hoped there would be a Events Calendar extension that might help us with this, actually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1481574","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
