Dear EE support team,
Apart from our B2C website for which we use Event Espresso 4, we also want resellers to book groups. Because our B2C website is in Dutch and EE doesn’t support more than one language, we have to built a separate platform for reseller to register their groups for the same events as the B2C website.
I see there’s an EE API, but I don’t directly see whether I could use that to link a custom build web page to also post registrations to the databases. Does the API have such functionality, or should I post this data to the database myself?
Best,
Luc

What prohibits the resellers from using the Dutch B2C website?
The EE4 API is essentially read-only data at this point. We do have plans to add write capabilities to the api soon.

Dear Garth,
It’s the language: Chinese, Indian, Japanese etc etc resellers don’t understand a Dutch booking system, with Dutch tickets and tour names.
Also, for multiple groups sold by a reseller, it’s not easy to manage the separate bookings (e.g., they don’t know answers to all questions when making a group booking, for example about menu preferences, number of wheelchairs, etc.), so have to change that as time passes by which effectively needs me to include a link to changing the registration questions, which in turn they have to store for all group bookings per event.

Well, like I said we’re going to work on the API write endpoints soon.
Have you contacted translation plugins such as WPML and asked them if they are compatible with Event Espresso? Developers have access to our GitHub repo so they can submit pull requests as needed to help make them work better together….

Dear Garth,
In another post at this forum I found a statement of the support team that EE4 didn’t support multiple languages. Even if WPML would be supported, it doesn’t let me translate e.g. event names and tickets unfortunately.
Is there a specific timeline for the API with write options afayk?
Best,
Luc

I’m fully aware Event Espresso doesn’t support multiple languages, that’s why a plugin might WPML help.
No specific timeline yet on the API write endpoints.

Ah, maybe I didn’t correctly interpret the remark.
So much for multiple languages. 😉

Dear Garth,
I forgot, but there is another reason I asked for this.
When I create a multilingual website e.g. using WPML with Dutch as main language and e.g. English 2nd, and I navigate to my booking page with the EE calendar from my English page, I’ll switch to the Dutch website as soon as I click on an event.
So: Home (EN) – Booking calendar page (EN) – Event page (NL).
Because there’s no translation for an event page.

If you want to team up with a developer on your end, I can get your developer in contact with our API developer to work together on the WRITE endpoints of the EE api.
