Seeking advice if a hidden product field or product variations or something else is the right approach…. I am trying to do the following.
I have over 650 teams that need to pay a one time annual local registration fee with new, additional teams showing up daily. Each team has a unique team number created by the national organization (completely separate organization) and 2 team managers. I separately download the current valid team list from the national site and place into a local separate database.
I need to make it easy for someone to pay their local registration fee and also track which teams have paid (and need the team number in the cart/checkout). Note that a person could be managing more than 1 team. I just need to make sure that the team number is valid (It is okay if someone other than the manager pays for a team – a warning message would be nice if the manager was not the same as the person paying just to confirm that they are paying for the correct team but if that is hard to do, I am okay with skipping this check).
I was able to generate the team list that shows last year’s payment status (along with other information that I am separately collecting from team). I am trying to get this integrated this year into wordpress/woocommerce instead as a completely separate process. [Last year’s team list is https://www.norcalfll.org/test-team-database/ ] If you look at the page, in the status table for each team, I would like to have a “Pay Now” link for teams that have not paid.
What I think would be best, is to have the manager click on their team status, and then recognize that the team has not yet paid (which I know how to do in my plugin) and have a “Pay Now” button show up that would add the registration product with correct team number directly to a shopping cart. I would then like to give the manager an option to add additional teams [assume I could redirect to team list from the continue shopping link] as well as for a donation to support the local program [assume this could use the existing cross-sell functionality].
I have tried to do this with woocommerce as well as looked at several of the paid plugins but none see to do what I need and are pretty expensive for a small all volunteer nonprofit. I am really struggling as a newbie wordpress / woocommerce person and seeking ideas on the best way to implement and/or if one of the existing plugins has this capability. If I had to pay for a plugin, does anyone know if there is a nonprofit rate that is available?
Thanks much, Jill
