Team I’m looking to create a one day event where hosts of events can register their event for a fee and then have their own page and their own payment options. Is this possible?

Hi Calder,

How are you today?

Event Espresso wasn’t designed for that purpose specifically, so it won’t be completely automated but it might be possible. Are you going to try and take a % or $ fee for each event they create or each ticket they sell or just for access to your site? Event Espresso really only allows one account to accept transactions for the entire site.

You’d need to use the Roles & Permissions add-on(s) so you can control who has access to what parts of your website. Then you’ll probably have to create a page for them to publish their event. How would you allow different users to create their own page without another user editing another user’s page?

We’re going to charge them a flat fee to create an event.

We are looking at doing a paypal split so some goes to charity and the balance to the event organiser. I can see roles etc as the add on we need. Each event gets it’s own page, we could create that for them manually probably,

Maybe s2member could control access to a page , still working that through

Garth, could we add into the roles add on a payment add on option that if ticked could allow them to add their own payment option?

Garth, with the roles add on, if i’m creating my own event why doesn’t it have an option to create a page that I can admin?

The answer here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/91330/restrict-admin-access-to-certain-pages-for-certain-users would allow you to restrict the editing of certain pages on the site to certain users. In that form, it’s not very user-friendly, you would have to edit that code manually to add pages to a user, but it is doable.
We do have a solution that allows you to specify paypal, or other gateway, credentials on a per-event basis.

Thanks for the tips. Is the paypal an add one or just a codechange?

With PayPal you can add a meta field to the event (paypal_email) and in the meta value the paypal payment email. This will then over rule the admins details and any payments will be sent there.

We were considering adding this to Stripe as well but I do not believe it has been added as yet.

As such PayPal is the only gateway you can do this with.

Ticketing, will each event be able to have it’s own ticket design?

Yes, just create the different ticket templates and allocate the ticket template to each event as required.
