Not sure if this goes into the right section, however: I need to have discounts depending on what tickets are purchased. So: Ticket A is £30 Ticket B is £30 Ticket C is £40 However, if ticket A is purchased, Ticket C will be £20. Can expresso do this :)?

Hello Ashley,
Currently Event Espresso does not have that style of logic built into it. We currently have 3 methods of discounting:
Promotional Codes – reuseable codes that offer a flat or percentile discount.
Social Codes (Groupon style) – one use codes that offer a 100% discount.
Volume Discounts – offers a flat or percentile discount based on either the number of registrants (tickets) or the amount in money spent

Hey Dean
Would you be aware of how difficult it would be for someone to implement? (and thus how much it could potentially cost, even if it was hard-coded).

Perhaps I should explain what I mean/require in more detail because you may be able to better suggest.
I have a conference ticket at £50 for member, £70 for non members.
However there are workshops, £15 for non members, £20 for members.
However, if they purchase a conference ticket, the price of workshops become £5 and £10.
At the moment there is javascript code calculating the prices depending on the selections – would it be easy to pass the calculated total to event expresso?

I can’t speak to how easy or hard it would be. If you’d like to get a quote for the work, you can request a custom development review, but currently our development team is unable to work on any new (custom) development until at least March. It sounds like you’d need to build some specific integration to pass your total to the POST data that’s sent to the gateway, but, speaking from personal experience, trying to get data from javascript and pass it to PHP is pretty tricky — the two things get executed at different times, with the javascript getting executed later, on the page load, which means that you can’t just feed that back in to the PHP.

Hey chris,
I may be silly since I know not much about this stuff however last time, javascript dynamically update the price on a html form that was filled out.
One of the html elements (or whatever they are called) held the ‘amount’ which was updated on selection.
This then posted and went to the php which took the information and forwarded it to paypal.
I didn’t see any problems in terms of things getting executed at different times or anything.
If this was the case, would it be possible to send the form information to event expresso?

Hi Ashley,
I’m not sure what you’re referring to. What were you using before? Was it an older version of Event Espresso, perhaps modified to handle discounts differently, or something else?

Hey Josh,
No it was simply a form that was filled out, Javascript totted up the price which on submission was passed to php and dealt with(horribly). I guess i’m wondering how hard it would be to pass something like this to event expresso? (sorry my knowledge on these things is not fantastic :))

Hi Ashley,
It all would depend on one’s experience with developing WordPress plugins, PHP, and JavaScript. Event Espresso doesn’t have a feature that allows an outside form to pass price info (it all happens within Event Espresso’s registration process).
