We have events for children where the first child is full price but if you register 2 or more children, the others are half-price.
So for example, one child is $200. Two children is $300 ($200 + $100). Three children is $400 ($200 + $100 + $100). And so on.
What is the best way to set this up? We saw some documentation on a Volume discount add-on, but that no longer seems to be available?
Currently, we have the Group registration option enabled, and are using the pricing dropdown to offer 1 child, 2 children and 3 children options at the correct pricing. If we use the example above, this ends up looking like $200 each for 1 child, $150 each for 2 children and $133 each for 3 children. But the issue there is that on the event list, it displays the lowest price when it should display the first price.
Thanks in advance for advising on how best to get this working.

Hi Ashley,
The Volume Discount add on is still available for EE3, but it is in the Pre Release channel as it is in Beta – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/pre-release-channel-guide/
However, it won’t help with your set up. The Volume Discount add on triggers at a set threshold and discounts then, so if the threshold is 2 tickets, it will apply X discount say $100. However the same discount will be applied regardless of whether 2 or 20 tickets are bought. You can use percentages but the discount might vary based on tickets bought.
One option would be to continue with the method you are using but use one of the following code snippets to change how the prices are shown on the event list:

Thanks. If we use the code snippets, how can we prevent them from getting overwritten during plugin updates? I realize the functions.php changes would survive, I’m specifically thinking about the changes to event_list_display.php
Thanks.

Hi Ashley,
The event espresso templates can be copied to wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/ to keep them update safe.
Template files ending in _display (such as event_list_display.php) also need their ‘partner’ file, so in this case you’ll need to copy both event_list.php and event_list_display.php to the uploads directory.
Does that help?
