Price Modifier Question

I am missing the purpose of the Price Modifier. I can see they adjust the price (:)) but what is the business case for this methodology.

What I was looking for was some form of promotional code mechanism in EE4. Have I missed that too?

Hi David,

The price modifiers are a way to add to or subtract from the base price for a ticket:

For example, you might setup a discount for the first X amount of tickets that are purchased. The surcharges are a way to help with administrative costs.

Event Espresso 4 does not currently support promotion/discount codes.

I am still not quite getting it. If I am globally modifying the price why wouldn’t I just change the price?

If I want to manually book people onto a course where I have collected payment another way, or I want to manually change the price for an individual sale, can I do that?

Hi David,

The price modifiers are used as line-item detail to customers in their order confirmation, etc.. For example, you may say the base price for a ticket is $100, then you have a +10% processing fee, but they have a -$20 discount. The order confirmation will provide all that information to the registrant. This is helpful and often required by organizations and tax purposes. Does that help?
