Hello together,

i have found your great extension nd some questions before buying it.

I need 2 types of discounts that should be combined.

Discount for quantity. Users who buy more tickets should be less
Discount for order time. People who order early should pay less then others who book late. But the ones who order one day before the event should get a special discount

Is this possible realize with our plugin? If not is there a way to program this into the plugin (by you or me)?

Hi, here is feedback on your questions:

Discount for quantity. Users who buy more tickets should be less
Discount for order time. People who order early should pay less then others who book late. But the ones who order one day before the event should get a special discount.

The core plugin does not offer this discount. However, the volume discounts add-on could help with this. It works by checking for a certain threshold and then applying a discount. For example, apply a 15% discount when 3 or more tickets / pricing options are purchased.

The other discount could be handled through the core plugin by enabling the early-bird discount. This runs for a specified period of time and then switches back to regular pricing.

Does that sound like it would work for your project?

Hi Ryan, that would be a setting via the event editor:

Hi Ryan,

EE4’s early bird system is different to EE3’s.

You use multiple tickets, and set the sell from and sell to dates, and the price differently.

E.g.

My Ticket Really Early Bird discount! — Sell from 1st April to 5th April $50
My Ticket Early Bird discount! — Sell from 6th April to 15th April $75
My Ticket — Sell from 15th April to 20th April $100

As the time goes on, the tickets will stop and/or start selling, giving you a very flexible way of offering time based discounts.
