They hated the fees, but loved the check-in management features.  Honestly, the fees aren&#8217;t that much more than our current merchant processor for the website.

What is your timeline for release?  I&#8217;m comfortable working with the beta and providing feedback if need be, and would happily provide any reasonable assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Will there be a separate plug-in?<br \/>\nWill there be an App or is it a web-driven scanner?<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to contact me by email if you wish.  I am VERY interested.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook Events Question &#8211; From what I can gather, this simply takes the Facebook event data and enters it the WordPress DB.  I cannot see from the documentation that this plugin posts anything to Facebook (most importantly a link to our website), so if we wanted to publicize an event on Facebook and sell tickets via Events Calendar \/ WooCommerce, we would need to manually post a link to the appropriate page, is this correct? Would this be the work flow?<\/p>\n<p>Create and post event on FB &#8211;&gt; Manually import FB event into Event Calendar (<strong>via plugin<\/strong>)&#8211;&gt; Event created &#8211;&gt; Edit event with link to website&#8217;s event page &#8211;&gt; Create tickets with ticketing plugin &#8211;&gt; STOP<\/p>\n<p>Without the plugin, the work flow would be more logical, with one less step:<\/p>\n<p> Manually create event into Event Calendar&#8211;&gt; Create tickets with ticketing plugin &#8211;&gt; Event created &#8211;&gt; Post event on FB with link to website&#8217;s event page &#8211;&gt; STOP<\/p>\n<p>Am I missing something?  If the plugin uses the Facebook API to send a link to the site, that would be very helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance for your time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-956067","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>WooCommerce Tickets and Facebook Events pre-sales questions -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/woocommerce-tickets-and-facebook-events-pre-sales-questions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"WooCommerce Tickets and Facebook Events pre-sales questions -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Greetings Tribe!
