Event calendar

  • Hi, part of my portfolio project is to build a website offering a possibility of booking a one repetitive event, happening a couple of times a day. As I see it, it should have:

    1. Calendar displaying available dates and times, and after certain day is being clicked it redirects user to a page where he can book it (and pay for it)
    2. Reservation system, where user enters his data (lets say name and email) and he can be redirected to payment page.
    3. Payment system – after being redirected a certain amount can be paid by card, and after that event for a particular day and time has 1 spot left and user gets an email with reservation info.

    I found out that WooCommerce is pretty good with that, I can add events as products and therefore I get 100 products (combination of 20 days and 5 different hours). The problem is with integrating available dates and times with the calendar. I can’t see a way to make these 2 synchronized with each other.

    I tried using The Events Calendar, WP Event Manager and Event Tickets Manager for WooCommerce plugins, but it seems free version of none of these can help me with making a chain:
    calendar -> event database -> reservation&payment.

    Any free plugins I could use for that, any ideas what I could make different to make it work?

    What about the WooCommerce Booking plugin?

    Hi, thank you for your answer ??

    Do you mean this one?
    https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-bookings/

    Unfortunately it is paid, I would have to pay 275$ upfront to use it ??

    It would cost a lot more than $275 to have someone custom develop what you need, or even just to take over your project research for you. Maybe try the plugin – they have a 30-day refund period. The opportunity cost might have you convinced after trying it.

    Yes, but did you read my whole post? By working part-time instead of full-time to have more free time to learn I surely don’t have extra money, and 275$ is way more than I can spend on only one plugin for one of my projects.

    I want it, but I can’t afford it, that’s why I specifically asked about free solutions I could implement ??
