Hi there.

Pre Sales question!

I love your features and would like to confirm the following for a fishing boat business & accommodation package

ACCOMMODATION I offer several packages: WeekendPackage: 2 nights accommodation Midweek package: 5 nights accommodation Need optional extra day of fishing at a cost of $100 per person. Combo Package: 7 nights accommodation Minimum number of people is 8 with maximum of 12 allowed.

FISHING ONLY I also offer 1/2 day fishing on 2 days from 6am – 12pm In summer I offer 2 trips 6am – 12pm & 12pm – 6pm

As I have only one boat I need to ensure there is no double booking, so will be working off the one calendar.

QUESTIONS 1. Is the above possible? I need days or hours available as an option 2. Can I have rules? 3. I would start off with a drop down as per your demo and then have a calendar show with check in and check out field. I would also like to automatically show available = green & not available = red. 4. I also offer an “extra day of fishing at a cost of $100 per person.” which is only available for “Midweek package: 5 nights accommodation” It is not available for other packages. Could I have a rule for this? 5. Is it possible to show how many spots are available in the calendar? 6. Does it work with any SMS gateways? for SMS reminders? 7. Can I generate event tickets? 8. Can customers purchase gift vouchers? & can they be used to book online?

I look forward to your response

Hi Dee,

How are you today?

First I’d recommend that take a little time to setup a Event Espresso demo site so you can get a feel for how this would work in your situation. You can create a site for free at: http://demoee.org. In general, I think you will struggle with trying to make Event Espresso function like a hotel reservation system.

Secondly, it’s important to note that every event/ticket in Event Espresso has to be created with a specific date and time. So, each occurrence of an event/accommodation/trip/reservation has to be pre-configured with a date, time, cost and/or quantity available.

In your situation, you can create an event with several datetimes and several ticket options:

Datetimes:

– date 1
– date 2
– date 3
– date 1+n…

Tickets:

– x nights (dates x through y, attached to two consecutive datetimes)
– extra fishing (date 1)
– extra fishing (date x), etc.

Calendar:

The calendar does not provide check-in and check-out filters, that’s done by specifying the dates themselves. There are no “rules” to setup with the calendar.

Gateways:

We have integrations with several gateways, but other gateways have their own integrations with Event Espresso too: https://eventespresso.com/features/payment-options/

Tickets:

You can pull up a n attendee record and print off their ticket.

Vouchers:

We do not provide gift voucher functionality. We are working on promotion codes, but not a credit system.

Does that help? Let me know if I can do anything else for you.
