Booking Activities event booking questions

Hello,

1.

Yes, you can automatically repeat an event, you don’t have to create the repeated events manually (docs).

2.

Yes, you can create the desired events, group them, and sell the group of events in one go (demo, docs).

3.

Yes, you can set a price for groups of events thanks to the Prices and Credits add-on (same demo, docs).

4.

Yes, you can set an “availability” per event (see the demo above).

5.

The customer can select multiple events, but each will result in a distinct booking. If you use WooCommerce, the customer can add multiple bookings to cart and pay for all the bookings at once (demo).

6.

Yes, you can use booking activities with WooCommerce (docs, see demo above), and use any payment gateway comaptible with WooCommerce (example).

You can test everything for free except (3.), so I recommend you to try to set up Booking Activities and WooCommerce, so you can validate that it meets your needs, and, afterwards, if it does, purchase the Prices and Credits add-on to set a specific price to your groups of events.

Thank you for the reply, appreciate it.

Sounds like everything can be done, only small issue might be the Prices and Credits addon, I don’t think the client could afford to pay for it each year, is there any cheaper and one off payment alternative that can do the same or similar for the discount point number 3

No, unfortunately, but there is a free alternative with WooCommerce: you can create one distinct product (or product variation) per price, and display only the corresponding events (or groups of events) on that product page. E.g.:

• Create a booking form that displays only the groups of events that cost ￡100 (Booking Activities > Booking Forms > Add new > Calendar settings > Filters Tab > “Group Category” = select your group category, “Groups only” = ON, “Book grouped events alone” = OFF)
• Create a ￡100 product (or product variation), and bind the corresponding booking form to it (demo, docs)

Another example:

• Create a booking form that displays only the single events that cost ￡15 (Booking Activities > Booking Forms > Add new > Calendar settings > Filters Tab > “Activity” = select your activity(ies), “Group Category” = None)
• Create a ￡15 product (or product variation), and bind the corresponding booking form to it

Think I understand it. I would need to create two different booking forms, one for the grouped/bundle series of courses and one for the single/individual courses, is that right?

If I install your plugin and then install WooCommerce, could you set up a demo for me please on the clients site to see how it is done or if I attempt to do it and let you know if I have done it correctly or not and if I have not done it right, could you correct it for me so I can see where I went wrong and I can learn how to do it correctly

Yes, that is correct.

No, you need to do it by yourself, please contact support as a last resort after trying your best with the help of my instructions, the documentation, and the demo website. Of course, if you can’t manage to achieve it despite that, I would be glad to help, in that case, you will need to tell me precisely what part of the instruction / documentation you are having difficulty with.

No problem thank you, I have installed your plugin and so far created the single day classes and made them repeatable on weekdays.

I need to create another booking form for the grouped/bundle series

If I get stuck, I’ll reply back on here and let you know what part I am having difficulty with and see if you can help me.

Sorry I am stuck, I don’t understand what I have done wrong. I have created a second book form for the grouped classes. In the calendar options on the filters tab I have the calendar selected and the activity name selected and group category selected is All (I can’t work out where to add a category) I have groups only set to on and book grouped events alone set to off.

It says no events available though, I have done the same as the other booking form so don’t understand why this booking form says no events available, the activity I created is on the 1st March 2024 so it should show on the booking form

Sorry think I just worked it out.

I’m going to attempt the pricing structure now so I can have the discount on the third class but I may get stuck.

You said the following
“there is a free alternative with WooCommerce: you can create one distinct product (or product variation) per price, and display only the corresponding events (or groups of events) on that product page. E.g.:

Create a booking form that displays only the groups of events that cost ￡100 (Booking Activities > Booking Forms > Add new > Calendar settings > Filters Tab > “Group Category” = select your group category, “Groups only” = ON, “Book grouped events alone” = OFF)

Another example:

Create a ￡15 product (or product variation), and bind the corresponding booking form to it”

I have created the events and got them displayed on the calendar, I now need to install woocommerce and set the prices, for single events can a discount be applied to the third class, for example if they select three single day classes, can a discount be applied if they choose 3 classes?

No, it is not possible to apply a discount if customers add three distinct bookings of their choice to cart unfortunately.

This may be possible with a WooCommerce plugin that would apply discount based on the cart content(?) (quick search)

With Booking Activities, it is only possible to create groups of events, and set a lower price to the product bound to the booking form that displays these groups of events. But in that case, it is the administrator who create the groups of events, customers cannot freely compose their own group. Moreover, customers won’t be able to cancel / reschedule each booking of the group separately afterwards.
