Hi there,

After some research, I went ahead an purchased the multiple event registration, thinking that I could make a donation a non-ticketed event that folks could add on. But I don’t understand from the documentation how exactly to do that.

They can’t the additional ticket would still show up as an additional ticket.

All events will have a ticket for you to add to the cart, may I ask where you saw an option for ‘non-tickets events’ mentioned?

This is a test page to see if I could add two tickets to one page — if this is how I need to do this, then I would want only ONE add to card button: http://bachinbaltimore.org/test-page/

Unfortunately you can’t submit tickets from more than one event on a single tickt selector, so you can’t have 1 add to cart for both of those events.

But… now we’ve finished with what you can’t do, here is an option you can.

We have a snippet that can be used to add a ‘value’ to a question asked on the registration form. It only works if your registrations require payment (your $1.25 booking fee is fine for this) but basically your users select a ticket and then on the question form you can have a ‘Add a donation’ question, if that option is selected you can assign a value that is added onto the registration.

If you are comfortable with PHP the snippet is here: https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/51c4284d2dbedb7c0e1daff0c562f1dc

Note that this is not an out of the box solution, it’s a workaround we provided for another user and will requiring modifying to suit your use case so before going into details would that work for you?

Will I be able to add the donation add on to other events?

There’s no add-on for this? You can add the question that will add a value onto the transaction onto any event you want.

Did I not need to purchase the Multi-Reg Pluggin?

It depends on how this needs setting up in the end, if the above doesn’t work for you then possibly.

You could also just create different tickets on the event:

Admission – $1.25 (booking fee)
Admission + $5 donation
Admission + $10 donation

That depends on the typical donations you receive but the user then just selects the ticket they want rather than multiple different types of tickets.

That’s actually a third party solution and they do say that “This add on can also be used to accept donations.” Since your event has a $1.25 ticket price to cover the handling fee it should work OK to use for donations. Please note that 3rd party add-ons are not supported by Event Espresso, so that means that you’ll need to get support from the third party plugin author for anything related to the Price modifier add-on.
