Looking for a specific booking/event/class management plugin
-
I have a client that has an upcoming studio which has some specific online needs. They’re looking for a digital version of a [loyalty] punch card, where a customer punches the card every time they purchase something from that store. I’m using WordPress since she’s bootstrapped, so looking for a booking/event/class management plugin that does most, if not all, of the following:
- Allow customers to purchase XX-day passes for classes (i.e. 5-day, 10-day, 15-day passes). Customers can then take classes onsite.
- Allow admin to register customers onsite (either through the admin panel or customer-facing portion of site), with ability to mark attended class and checks them against the customer’s purchased pass. For example, a customer purchases a 5-day pass and goes to 2 classes, the admin can register them onsite and marks that they have attended 2 classes. The functionality would deduct the attended classes from the pass – not sure how this will function
- Allow customer and admin to be able to see how many classes the customer has left, assuming through an account page for the customer and the admin panel for the admin
- Allow customers and admin to be notified when last class in pass is filled and no more classes are left on the pass. Notification via email is fine, others like SMS is an added bonus. This may or may not be feasible but thought I would try.
- Account page can have billing address (if applicable – am thinking a Woocommerce-type) with other info (email, phone), as well as list of classes taken (can this be done??) and/or how many classes customer has left on their pass
- Allow payments, and hopefully allow admin to take payments onsite through the admin panel. Paypal is fine, but more gateways would be great.
- Allow customers to see calendar of classes and events via widgets
- Allow event and booking management for workshops and events, with registration functionality, recurring days, payment options (Paypal is fine).
NOTE: Down the road, the client wants to be able to sell products online, so an ecommerce application will be required in long-term strategy.
Again, I don’t have to have all of these requirements; however, the most pressing requirements needed are the pass functionality and the ability to register customers as they take those classes (to match and check against pass limit). Those two are the most important that I can think of right now. Event and booking management can be a separate plugin and may not have to tie in to this plugin (but if there is an all-in-one, that would be even better).
I was thinking of using WooCommerce with Subscription, but I have not yet heard back on whether Subscription would work for what i need. Does anyone have any experience with Subscription to know if this will suit my needs? Otherwise, I don’t really care if I have to pay, as long as it’s within reason, as client is bootstrapping this project.
Any help, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
