Hi,
Looking at your site the past 2 hours. Testing both EE3 and EE4. I am thinking that EE3 can support what I need but I feel like I do not want to loose out on EE4 which should be better
To make things easier for me and any others like me, I will just list down what I require and maybe you can help see what I need.
Lets say I am running a baking studio. A number of bakes that I teach over the week, eg cakes and pastries. Lets take for example I run Tarts course twice a week, for only 3 weeks at certain times.
I want users of my website to be able to
1) See all timeslots available on one page called TARTS, where on the page also includes description and cost of cost. Of course pictures will be on the page. From the timeslot, they are able to choose one they are available and then pay via paypal.
2) I need to be able to add in registrants on demand and also accept payments at my shop.
3) We do give discounts for those who purchase a course on site, and we intend to give them a discount coupon that expires in 2 months and can only be used once. Both EE3 and EE4 coupons does not meet either of the requirement.
4) I want to be able to have a summary (hook) at the main homepage of courses that I have that are upcoming. This summary can lead to another page that has all the courses upcoming.
Please assist in showing me which will work best for me. Thanks a lot for looking at this lengthy post.

5) Email receipts with running numbers for claims. On top of paypal receipts.

Hi, Event Espresso 3 has a promotions system but it does not automatically expire discount codes. Event Espresso 3 also meets most of your other requirements but I’d like to clarify on something.
Approximately, how many baking sessions will you have per day?

Thank you for your reply.
Is there anyway for me to set automatic expiry anywhere? Can I use other plugins like buddypress to expire coupons?
In 1 day can have 3-4 baking classes, can be different types can be the same. A user can sign up for any of the course at the price given.
How quick will the above mentioned be available for EE4 and will EE3 support expire or development stop? No doing up a site with EE3 then its set to die off in 6months.

Hi, here is additional feedback:

This above is not supported in either versions of Event Espresso. Unfortunately, we would not be able to help you create this feature as we do not provide custom development as part of our support.
However, we do have Event Espresso professionals that can help you if this is critical to your project:
https://eventespresso.com/developers/event-espresso-pros/
In Event Espresso 3, a separate event would need to be created for each baking session so that you can accurately track the attendee limit.
We’ll be supporting Event Espresso 3 until Event Espresso 4 has all features including support for promotions, recurring events, multiple event registration and more.
One other thing to mention about Event Espresso 3 is that you’ll also receive Event Espresso 4 along with equivalent add-ons for Event Espresso 4 once they become available. This provides an upgrade path from Event Espresso 3 to Event Espresso 4.

Hi,
My final question would be. If I have to create multiple events and not recurring events for each session, can the system off the shelf categorize them for example CLASS 1. So that if I go a designed page of CLASS 1, it shows all the available classes within that category/label neatly in a table-like form?
Date | Time | Description | Price | BOOK NOW

Hello again,
Yes you can do that by using the [EVENT_LIST] shortcode:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#event-list
Here is an example:
[EVENT_LIST event_category_id=my-new-events]
