Hi there,
Just sent an email but realised this should probably be posted on here instead! I’m looking to build a holiday booking system for a client of mine and came across Event Espresso as a prospective solution.
I have a few questions before purchasing however, and was hoping to address them if possible.
1. Is it possible to set a select a set number of date ranges and display these as a dropdown menu for the customer to choose from?
2. Is it possible to have stock levels on the different rooms and addons we want to offer (single, twin, 3-4 people etc)?
3. Is there functionality to support the option for the customer to add number of guests with names?
4. Is there an option to add optional extras such as t-shirts, insurance etc?
5. Would it be possible for the customer to either pay in full or part payment (deposit) with the rest to be paid at a later stage?
6. (SECONDARY) Is it possible to allow a user to join an existing booking and pay their share of the booking price?
Thank you very much in advance,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Event Espresso does not work well for bookings/appointments but we may be able to meet most of your requirements.
Approximately how many dates ranges will you need to be made available?

Hi Lorenzo,
Probably looking to have 2-5 date ranges, with the standard being two.

Hi Tim,
This is what I’ve come up with for Event Espresso 4:
http://cl.ly/image/05301s03120D
Each date range and room would be created as a separate event. These would then appear on the calendar and the event listing page.
A registrant would then select the correct date range and room by clicking on it. You’ll notice that the first option is required with the add-ons being optional.
If any of the add-ons are purchased, then extra attendee information will be requested. T-shirts and insurance information could be requested as a custom question. Partial payments aren’t currently available but you could create a separate event to handle a balance due.
You can’t add a registrant to an existing registration at this time. The original would need to be cancelled and then a new one created through the WP dashboard.

Hi Lorenzo,
Thanks for your reply. It’s not an ideal solution but I can see how it could work.
As for payment gateways, is Realex supported in EE4?
Thanks again
