Can we reduce the time that tickets are allocated against incomplete bookings?

Hi,

We are currently using Event Espresso v5.0.5.

We know that for a time after a user has selected a ticket to book, the system allocates that ticket so that it can’t be purchased by another user. And you did tell me what that time was but I can’t remember. A couple of hours?

Has this time increased in the change from version 4.x to 5.x ?

Our gut feeling is that it has; I received this from my client:
“This seems to be happening regularly now. I am concerned that we may miss out on bookings as places are allocated against incomplete bookings. It is a very time consuming process to keep checking the system manually to make sure it hasn’t happened. We had a similar problem with the Safety Boat course.”

If the time has changed, is there any way to reduce it?

Thanks,

Anita

Hi Anita,

The ‘session lifespan’ hasn’t changed and the default value is 1 hour.

However, what we have done is add an option within Event Espresso itself to allow you to change it.

Go to Event Espresso -> Registration Form -> Reg Form Settings.

Find ‘Session Settings’ and you’ll see a dropdown to set your desired session lifespan.

Thank you Tony. I’ve passed that information on.
