We are considering purchasing the premium EE for multiple (10-15) clients’ event registrations to run on our WordPress site. Is this something that EE can accommodate? If this is not directly available and requires an infrastructure to implement, is this something the EE team could help develop to make it feasible? If so, what kind of timeline, and budget could we anticipate?
Many thanks, Timmy Z

Hello Timmy,
Could you clarify your use case a little bit please? Do your client require access to create events? Dashboard or front end access? Will these be separate sites/multisite? Anything else that you wish to add would be useful in getting an overall picture of what you are trying to achieve. Thanks!

Hi Dean, Thanks for your quick response-
We are thinking of loading the events ourselves, for the time being. We aren’t very code savvy, so we would need a nice dashboard, but clients would not need to access it. So, to answer your question of client access, no. Not at this time. As our client list grows, we could consider them accessing a “create event” page, which would necessitate an easy and efficient UI. But for the time being, we will do the event entry.
We would like them to link to our registration page from their website to view and register for the event(s), or go direct to our events listings page and register on our site. We are hoping to create a marketplace for our clients.
We would like to use STRIPE to eliminate the hassles associated with merchant services. This creates a new level of service that we can provide our clients and increases our relevance. We could go to a local web development firm, but if you can deliver this type of virtual marketplace, we would prefer to stick close to the source.
I realize it is difficult to throw a number out, but we’re really just looking for a ballpark estimate. 5k?, 10k?
Hope this helps-

Hi Timmy,
In EE3 you can of course create events in the admin area. There is also an addon (Front end Event Manager) that can allow logged in users (not admins) to create BASIC events from the front end.
Stripe is also supported in EE3-
You can set up events by category and add them to a specific client centred list on a page which they can link to.
There is limited support for having a gateway for each client (I’m not even sure you need this as I am not clear on the financial structure you plan to use), but it might work for you. If it isn’t suitable then yes some custom development would be needed.
Having you tested Event Espresso Lite to get a feel for the plugin? https://eventespresso.com/event-espresso-lite-preview/
Have you applied for a full test drive? https://eventespresso.com/pricing/test-drive-event-espresso/
If you still feel you need large scale customization, you can submit a request for further information here: https://eventespresso.com/contact/customization-request-form/ The developers will be able to give you a better idea of the time involved and thus the cost.
I can’t even give a ballpark figure as it depends on the exact needs and the developers assessment of difficulty/time.
EE4 will in the long run be the better plugin, but currently I don’t think it is suitable for you, though it might be in the near future.
